My father... is a bitter man. I don't know if I can love him... and I can't tell if I hate him... but what kills me is what I do know and I know that I can't think of him as my father because he has taken away his own privaledge of saying he is so. He blames my mother for moving to BC, he blames her for losing their house, he blames her for letting me fall in love with a guy he absolutely hates. I am one of the few teenagers that want their real parents to get a divorce because I see that my mum takes all this from my dad and my dad has mental break downs because he 'earns so much for this family' he is so focused on money that he forgets that he has a family. He talks to me as a client not as a daughter. He drinks a whole bottle of sherry every night and it drives me crazy that I have to live with this man. I WANT OUT. But I can't I have no where to go

Two years and I'm out of high school and I can do what I want but what can I do to survive this hell... help me

Hello,

Sending you a Great Big Hug...

I need a little help from you so I can help you better.

Has your Dad always been like this or has something happened to make him this way.

How does your Mom feel about this and does she want to make things better.

Do you want to work at making life better.

Are you willing to give up the good things that your dads money buys to have him home more and part of the family.

Is your Mom willing to give up the good things to have a family life.

Let me know

I figure that you are between 15 and 16 years old and in your profile you state that your b.f. is 10 yrs. Older. I can see why your father is upset over that. Do you talk to your parents about all of the blaming. Talk to your mom abourt how she feels, she must be the one to put a stop to your fathers accusations. Surely you do not have to agree with your parents inorder to love them. Love them for the good qualities that they each have, and do not expect them to be perfect. My father abandoned me at 6 years of age and showed back up when I was 30 years old. He never gave me one penny to help with feeding or clothes or doctors. Just maybe your dad is not completely bad. He does support you and if that is all he does, well that is at least a start.
