Ok so my dad has said that from now on all he will ever think of me is disrespectful, ungrateful, and bratty. ( my parents are divorced ) my mom told me that I'm almost never like that and he shouldn't be saying that to me. And all his insults keep on coming. He practically prevents me from calling my mom so I can't talk or see her. She is the only one I can ever really talk to. And my stepmom, all she cares about are her children, and have not ever said I love you to me ever since she's met me and barely talks to me. When she does talk to me its when she wants to yell at me or discipline me for no reason. And my stepmom and dad fight almost every night. She has made it clear that she doesn't like me. At all. What should I do? I don't like crying almost every night and going to school really depressed and having to pretend that I'm happy. Oh and I'm 13. This has been happening ever since I was 8.

Hey sweetie, I think you should sit down and talk to your father. I agree if your not being disrespectful then he shouldn't be talking to you like that. But always be respectful to your parents. Just talk to him alone and see what he expects from you. Hope this helps sweetie!

Hi! I have tried and I just end up getting yelled at. I have tried so many times. We have gone to therapy and that made things worse. We used to fight on a daily basis but its not as bad as that now.

I have been through the same thing as my parents were divorced! Since that's not working is there any way your mom could get custody of you? Or do you not like living with her. I'm so sorry your going through this. I know it's hard just keep your head up.

Thanks. And no. I want to though. My dad gave my mom a nervous breakdown that caused her to go insane. I had to call 911. She's perfectly normal now. Just somewhat depressed and more emotional.

Can you write a letter instead. Ask your father not to call you names like "bratty" and to have him say how he feels instead of calling you names. Ask him if he's able to separate you from your behavior. So ask him what behavior is "ungrateful" and how it makes him feel. Ask him what is "bratty". Tell him you would like to learn how to be respectful and can he show you by being respectful to you.
