Jaelle answered Tuesday August 23 2011, 12:47 am: Not sure what's going on or how old you are so the answer is going to have to be generic. If the issues are fairly mild - disagreements, etc, mild fighting - then ask if it's okay to meet at a neutral location to talk about things. You may want a neutral person - think someone you trust who is not involved in the issues - to be present to help keep the peace. Sit down with Dad and talk about how things are going, how it makes you feel, and what can be done differently. It's important to use "I" statements and keep them short.
I.E. "When I am relaxing at home and there is a loud disturbance it sets me on edge and makes me angry and scared."
Is better than "When you yell at me I get angry."
If the issues are more serious then you need to ask for help & involve a professional. This may be a trusted person like a counselor or pastor, someone who can help you respectfully articulate how you feel.
