Is it normal that i hate my parents?

My parents are constantly mean to me. Whenever I forget to do something (like close a window), they threaten to do mean and embarrasing things to me. My dad even went as far as to grab me by the hair and hit my head against a wall. They say I'm rude, but the truth is...I hate them. And this is not 'teenage angst', as I have felt this for a long time. They are bad parents, and do not know how to appropriately discipline children. They also make fun of me, telling me constantly that I am stupid and retarded. They sometimes are nice to me, and attempt to do SOME things for me, but I believe this is just so they can have something to hang over my head. Whenever I ask for something, they always say no, there reason being they did something nice for me last week, or the week before. I literally dream of going to college not for an education, but to get away from them. Is it normal that I wish I was adopted just so that I can be away from them? So I don't have to deal with their constant emotional abuuse. Because of them, I have no confidence. Because of them, I love to go to school as it is the only time away from them.

    ...Wow! After reading that I can see why you're so upset. That's terrible that they say such derogative thing's toward you. Have you ever told them how bad they make you feel? Have you ever told them that they hurt your feeling's? Are you sure they're not just teasing you? Don't say that you wish you were adopted, or that you hate them though. I guarantee they love you. They probably just don't know how to show it. If something ever happened to you they would probably be devastated. Would you be devastated if something happened to them? I bet your shaking your head no. But just think about it, wouldn't you feel devastated? Sometime's we don't realize how much we care about somebody until the day they're gone. I think you really need to talk with them about this. You got some damn thick skin on you though! That will certainly help you in the real world.

    IT IS NOT NORMAL TO HATE YOUR PARENTS...ONLY SOMEONE WHO HATES THEIR PARENTS WOULD SAY THAT...YES, SOME KIDS DO HATE THEIR PARENTS BUT IT IS NOT NORMAL..I had a father like that and it can totally fuck you up in life seriously.....you could even report them to child protective services....at the very least you need to find surrogate parents....people that are like your parents but show you love and respect and kindness...a school counselor or a nice counselor...a grandparent...see if you can live with your grandparents....try and get away from them

    I totally believe you.I had a dad like that.Growing up I did not know how to live in my house and feel peace. we were always tense as soon as my dad walked through the door. My dad is mexican and he had such a scary temper. he literly punish my mom as well as us. she wasnt allowed to watch tv for defending us. he took it away for over a year. we were miserable. we lived in a new home, had food, but we were sad.He qould hit us for laughing or take our door. All I can say is that once you move out, go to college life will do a 360. but dont get overwhealm and start doying drugs and alcohol.Just wait. From my experience I can tell you that after my parents divorced my dad completely changed. I wish you the best :)

    Sometimes I hate my parents too..
    Yes it is normal for u to hate ur parents there's no such thing as a normal happily ever after family. I do say though u should try telling someone that u trust about this and let them no cuz they have no right to abuse you emotionaly and physicaly..

    Spite them. Be amazing despite the way they raised you. It can be hard to overcome this type of abuse but this is when being stubborn pays off.

    But it sounds like they are the type of people you don't want to owe. Please be careful with how you obtain the funds to go to school. And find something you want to study otherwise school will be miserable.

    I had a situation like this growing up. When I got out of there it was a tremendous relief. Wait it out and when you are grown up and gone you can hangup the phone or walk away if they begin to harass you like this. Being young and still dependent upon your parents makes it hard to draw a line in the sand and force them to treat you with respect.
