anyone else have a loony dad?

[steve208]

well cant believe it im blumin 23 and havin to live at home till find a job that pays enough for me to move out.

Retreated upstairs as had enough of my dad shoutin at the smallest thing. Im really depressed at the moment so he is not really helping and hes always had a short fuse.

Everytime i say well if you didnt shout so much it might be nice cos it makes for such a walking on eggshells atmosphere. He says that i and my brother dont respect him but he cant take a joke and just flies offf the handle at anything.

I mean im very relaxed dont shout much and am quiet so he thinks this means i dont care about things...this is not true i just like to be cool and calm.

What am i going to do....id like it if he would calm down but me telling him things he just takes it the wrong way and says dont f**kin tell me what to do. Well id think wld be nice if he wld listen and realise it affects others the way he is.

take yourself out of it, it's a nice evening, going to be a nice weekend, go and sit in a field...woods..park, listen to the birds watch other people,,,, get things into perspective, thing's will get better if you make them.

steve208,
i understand you situation and problem, but you feeling sorry for yourself is just making it worst. regardless of how badly your dad behaves he is still your dad. i like dotty's suggestion. you should not give up trying to be nice to your dad and be a bit more tolerant of him. when you ignore his yelling and continue to be nice to him, he will come around.

maybe your dad has issues and problems of his own which he has not told you and your brother. if you know he does not like the jokes you make with him, why do it? you are making him more angry. that's why he said you have no respect for him.

remember the sun is shining behind every cloud.
i wish you all the best that life has to offer.

My Dad is lovely. He spoils me rotten.I love him and am a real daddies girl.Also I believe he was extremely hansome when he was young but I don't think of my Dad like that.Either way my Daddy is perfect (and rich).
