Is it normal that me and my dad do NOT get on?

Of course it's normal.

Teenagers are hormonal and are finding their feet. They test out how much abuse their own family will take before they take it outside to the real world. I didn't mean to hurt or upset you, just tried to make you think of the situation from his side - and that was only coz I was feeling generous that day as I was frustrated with my own teen harping on. Nor do I want you to upset your mum or wear her down any further.

I wish someone had told me about Social Services coz my dad used to beat me up and my mother used to hit us with a dog's choke chain and is still a rotten nasty bitch to this day, in her 70s. My dad died last year but I officially left home the day I turned 18 - though I was out living in derelict houses before that.

Try your best to get on with them - even if some of their rules seem silly and be grateful that they are good parents, and you didn't have mine :o)

Bite your tongue as you nod and smile and give him a hug.

Good luck to you pet.
