    second, dude, these are your problems and im not trying to be an ass but a forum isnt going to help you. you may look up to many people here but in the end its all about what you do and how you handle it. i say you talk to your dad about it. if that doesnt work a therapist works just as well
    Actually, that was pretty funny. jokes are always needed to lighten the mood.
    Tell his doctor the steriods are affecting him negatively and to find an alternate medicine.

    Have you tried confronting him? Obviously you don't want him gone. So calling a child service's hotline would be a pitty. So your only way is to confront him.

    It's called verbal abuse.

    Getting verbally abused, especially by a close family member is just as the same as physical abuse. Just that it hurts mentally, not physically. But getting verbally abused can cause one to go into some sort of depressive disorder and cause massive stress.

    What .yourname said was far from a joke. What he said was serious, and jokes aren't always needed to lighten up the mood.

    @.yourname, I agree with you also. (on the "u may look up to many people here but in the end its all about what you do and how you handle it").

    What you just said is very true. Although, when you get verbally abused, it doesn't always hurt mentally. When people get verbally abused, they might hurt themselves or something especially if it's from a loved one.

    That's why in my previous post I said it's good that even though his father takes out the anger on him (verbally) that he still supports and loves him. I wouldn't recommend him to sit there and take the abuse, but sometimes that's life. His best bet would be to probably get a counselor, go to a friend's/family member's house, or have his mom get him out of the house sometimes.

    Re: [Sad] Dad is Making Life Tough

    I grew up in a typical american home. I've always had a roof over my head and food on the table. But I didn't have a very 'easy' childhood. I was a 'problem-child' and diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder when I was in the third grade. I was removed from "Regular" class and put into a "Special Ed" class (Self-Contained). They gave me ritalin to 'calm' me down but I always told them that the medicine didn't work. It didn't either as long as I didn't want it to. I was always a mama's boy and always had a closer connection to my mother until just before my thirteenth birthday. My mother passed away. Now I never had a "good" relationship with my father. Yes he was always there and supported us... but for a good portion (Till I was about eight) he was the 'punishment' deliverer (I.E. Spankings). Finally he got fed up because by then I had labeled him 'the bad guy' cause he was always the one adminstering the punishment. Then he let my mother take over with the discipline of me and my sister. Time passed after my mother passed away and my father always did his best to provide for us. He couldn't always be *there* because he had to constantly work to support me and my sister and provide us with shelter. Then I hit fifteen and my father blew my world apart. He came out of the closet. I was VERY confused everything I had known was just ripped and uprooted. I questioned why I was here and why he married my mother. He sat down with me and talked with me like an adult. That's when I found out about my fathers childhood and the cycle of abuse he recieved. Now I am older (wiser?) and I have a great connection with my father. It took some time to get used to his new lifestyle (Bi-Sexual) but I have come to terms with it in my own way. I don't doubt anymore that he did love my mother. She was his whole world and we all three lost something that fateful day. But I was always told that life is but a series of tests. That God will give you a LOT but he will never give you more then you can handle. Now i'm not trying to get all religious on anyone. Everyone is entitled to their own belief(s). But I do assure you that this is a test. You will come out of this and you will be a better person cause of it.

    Just never give up hope.

    Best wishes

    Tinkle

    Hey man, life is life. Parents will look like dickheads at times, but you'lll get over it. If one of his tantrums gets violent, call 911 immediately.

    Before I begin to tell you the story, I'd like to say I have 2 pet birds (they are part of this)
    So my dad has tons of diseases, which will last him all his life. So anyways, he doesn't have a job now, and he is miserable.
    But what he can do, is play online poker, and that's all he does.
    Anyways, so he's been having to take steroids to treat his diseases, which makes him go on outrages.
    And in the first place, he wasn't such a nice guy. (Usually)
    So my birds just love to chirp. And when my dad is trying to sleep (instead of getting a job) and the birds are squeaking, he goes on an outrage.
    And he blames me and my brother for his problems, he just yells at us as it's our fault for all his problems.
    And, whenever our internet goes out when he's playing poker, he shuts hi computer, walks right into our room, and yells and cusses at us. Even though he didn't do anything.
    He's selfish.
    And so I come home today. My birds are chirping so I plan to get them out when I'm done eating. Right when I grab my snack and settle in to relax, he busts into my room and yells at the top of his lungs. Get the birds now! Or I'm giving them away! (That just fcked me off)
    And so I say I will when I'm done eating.
    Then without thinking he says. maybe they need food also!
    (Even though they have bird seed, honey sticks, and millet.
    So then he stomps to his room and slams the door.
    And so he makes my life hell.
    Now I'm here with my birds, letting people know how bad I really have it
    Anyways, right now
    I can't feel any love for him at all
    And now I sit here, crying as I type this.
    With no hope of change.
    So I need some help getting through this
    And, I still want to keep my dad, because somewhere deep inside, I know he's good


    Please comment on how you feel about my situation
    Sorry to hear about everything your going through, no doubt it's a difficult time for your family at the moment. You seem to really understand your Fathers condition which is also a good thing, because at least you realize that it is his condition that's making your Father the way he is with you and the rest of your family.

    If your not wanting to seek professional help of some sort then it's probably best if you spend less time at home to avoid your Fathers wrath. Another family member off perhaps a close friend of yours that will genuinely listen is what your needing right now, because the way I see things is you've got alot of bottled up emotion inside of you that you need to release.

    I'm sure a family member will fully appreciate your current living circumstances, and will accommodate you to keep you away from the verbal abuse of your Father. I highly recommend that you take this approach because it's obvious that he's effecting your life which is no good at all, you can't even breath without being abused.

    And perhaps doing this may also show a statement to your Father as well as helping your self. Because surely regardless of his condition it will make him feel horrible inside knowing that his Son has moved away, so it may encourage a change of the way he is towards you.

    Well, I feel really sorry for you.

    Is he actually abusing you physically, or is he just yelling at you.

    I think he has a short temper becuase of his problems at the moment. If he does end up physically hurting you, or mentally hurting you, I recommend that you see someone, like a family friend, or another (extended) family member. They might be able to help you.

    I know this sounds all airy fairy, but there is not much that I would be able to suggest. Its quite a unique situation.

    Again, have a chat to some relatives or family friends, and if things get really bad, have a chat to a social worker, or something like that.

    Again, good luck, and i wish you and all your family a safe, happy new year.

    ~ Andrew

    Re: [Sad] Dad is Making Life Tough

    I'm guessing you and your brother are younger?
    Well I'll tell you how I would handle this situation... I normally don't do this but I've got no other sort of solutions at the moment.

    Basically I would tell him to fuck off and I that I have better things to do then be yelled at persistently for meaningless subjects. This is of course post telling him he's an ass and needs to calm down. Negotiate first, tell em to fuck off second, take matters into your own hands (whatever you think that means) third.

    I sort of just ignore my parents as a whole... "*nod* okay" and it works fairly well. Just make it work out till you can move out ^_^ believe me you'll have all the motivation you need to get a job and gtfo

    I was in a similar situation, except my cat ended up being stepped on.

    If he becomes physically abusive, call a family member or child services.

    Lol we handle the situations the same way then :P. Exept my step-dad gets violent sometimes, which is funny because if he starts a fight I'm the one that usually finishes it funnily enough. But moving out as you said is probably the most likely chance of working it all out.

    I don't think packing up your bags and leaving is a good choice. By doing that, you're just running away from the problem and not resolving it. That could come back to haunt you.
