I hate my dad

My dad isn't an alcoholic, and he doesn't beat me, but he gave me a lot of painful memories and still does from time to time. When i got in trouble, he would drag me up the stairs by my feet and shut me in my room. I remember one time when I made something out of LEGOs, and I was holding it when i got mad at my parents. My dad threw it onto the ground and it broken then dragged me to my room. I bet he would still drag me up the stairs like that if I wasn't able to fight back by now. Even today, he has anger problems, and when I'm around him, I get the feeling like he wants me to leave him alone, no matter what. He occasionally does other stuff too, like for example, a few months ago he was going to take me to a competition for something, and my mom asked him if he remembered to take the headache medicine, since i get those from time to time. He said that he'd probably need it more than I would, which you could probably get what he meant there, basically saying that I'd give him a headache.

    Your dad's actions are not healthy for him or his family. He needs to get into anger management. My dad went into anger management, and he has gotten a lot better, even if his sessions are only once a week.

    Your feelings towards your father are normal as well. I wouldn't be too fond of him either. Perhaps you should talk to someone about it? Maybe there's a counselor at your school (you sound like you're in high school) you can talk to? Maybe talk to a trusted adult or teacher?

      Not in highschool but will be in a year.
      Can't think of any adult i'd be comfortable talking to. Maybe that's just my personality though, cause I'm naturally somewhat shy.

        You should start building your relationships with your teachers. Maybe you could ask to talk to one of them during their lunch, an off period, or before/after school? Teachers want to see their students succeed, and they definitely care about these kinds of things. You don't have to launch into it all at once, but you definitely need to talk to someone.

          Alright. It's still pretty early in the school year, but I will try to do what you said.

            I understand. It may take a few months to work up the trust and courage, but I'd have a goal to explain the situation to someone by December.

    Not only does your Dad need counseling, so do you! You have unresolved issues that need to be discussed, worked through. Seek counseling, at any age. Take anger management as well, that way, when you are old enough to have your own kids, you will not follow in his footsteps.

    Again, it requires no license, no special school or training to be a parent, and, some people end up being one not entirely willingly. Some are coaxed into it, or told the other parent will do all the "hard work" raising you. Whatever the case, just know, any idiot can have a kid.

    With that said, do what you can to get along with him, be a good kid. Maybe that means remembering to do some of the things he expects you to do without him having to ask twice. Keep your room clean, get good grades, get along with siblings (if you have any).

    Talk about your feelings with a trusted minister or counselor at school. Talk to a trusted relative. Asking for help on some crazy web site is NOT the best way to go about getting help.
