When ever I talk to my dad, I feel like crying. It's usually when I want to ask him something. I never really liked my dad because he gets mad at everything and yells a lot. I can't tell him one little thing cuz he ends up getting mad. He complains about everything. As I talk to him, you could hear it in my voice that I want to cry. I try to end it fast so he won't see me, then I go to my room and cry right into my pillow. Sometimes he doesn't even yell at me. Is it fear? :(

    it sounds like stress to me. a mixture of fear and hurt at him not listening to you when you were little and not caring or valuing you or your feelings. therapy, running , mediatation or telling him that you are upset, im not sure, others might have good advice

    Yea that's exactly what's happening. I am 16 right now too. But idk if I could do that :( if I asked him to hear me out, he wouldn't even listen to me probably. Then he would find a way to make it my fault. But thanks a lot Maybe I'll give it a shot :)

    We are in the SAME exact situation. Whenever I talk to my dad I always feel like I'm gonna cry. I'll ask him if I can stay the night somewhere or ask for or ride or something and I have to sit in my room for about an hour just getting up the courage to go talk to him... My dad is a very angry person.. He yells at me constantly over anything. I have been dealing with it for 16 years. So a few weeks ago I said we need to talk.. I sat down with him and talked about how he treats me and I told him how I'm too scared to talk to him and how I wanna cry every time. Well he got a little hurt but he needed to hear it. Ever since then, he's been trying to go easier on me and try to get me not to feel that way. I HIGHLY suggest that you do what I did. It took me about 2 weeks to get up the courage to do that but when I finally did I was happier. Now it's a little easier to talk to him. I am so glad I did that. Hope this helped :)

    Depends on how old you are. Young? I'm on fathers side. Just had a baby. She is 19months. I want to protect her from world forever. Sorry.

    But I'd say it's time to move out if your older.

    Yes it is fear. But swallow that shit and scream and cry and let the shit go if you really think so. Bottling it in can get you in long run.
