He never tells me he loves me. Actually he doesn't talk to me at all unless it is to yell at me for doing something wrong. I get good grades am completely independent and everything I do is in an effort to impress him but all he does is yell at me and when I do something wrong he gets really mad and starts saying things like he wishes I was never born. He is at work all the time (thank god) and whenever he is home he pretends like I don't exist. I would do anything for him to say he loves me or to say I did a good job on something but whenever I tell him about my accomplishments he either brings up something I did wrong or ignores me and goes to his office. My mother insists that he loves me- he just doesn't know how to show it but I can't see this. I've never heard my dad laugh and I can't even picture him doing so. He considers me to to be my mothers responsibility. It's extraordinarily hard for me to express my emotions and because of him I don't trust people and it makes me very uncomfortable when people say good things about me or touch me. The only positive thing is I only have three years left of living at home.

How old are you? I don't understand - you are completely independent BUT you live with your parents.

If you are troubled by the relationship you should seek counselling so you don't carry your feelings forward in life. Maybe your father can't, for whatever reason, express love in any way other than yelling - sounds odd, I know. That's his problem, not yours. Saying he wishes you were never born is cruel. What does your mother do while this is going on?

I'm still in high school so I guess I'm not completely independent but I mean I don't ask for my parents help on homework or problems and don't talk to them all that often I eat the food my fathers money supplies and live in his house and but essentially I do everything else by myself.

Does he behave this way with everyone or only with you? If it is same with ev'one th then his behaviour is only that way.may be he's stressed out or has some office prob in his mind.. I think you are telling only a part of d problem.there is definitely something else happened in d past for this kind of attitude towards you.

Please don't use text speak. It's "the," not "d."
