Is it normal to wish your abusive dad would die?

My dad has been physically and verbally abusive to me my entire life. He drains the life out of me every time I see him, and makes everyone around him frustrated and upset by constantly berating them over stupid things. If he can’t reach the remote, he yells at us. If he wants to know who has the dog, he yells at us. If he wants a beer, he yells at us. I can’t help but think that things would be much easier if he would just die, and sometimes I have thoughts of killing him myself.

    Perfectly normal. I spent the first 13 years of my life wishing my abusive father was dead. And at 13, my step-mother shot him to death.

    I can really relate, because my alcoholic stepdad abused my mother, sister, and me, even sexually. I hated him and wished he would die, but I finally got away from him and was able to tolerate him until he did die. Get out of there as soon as you can.

    Your dad sounds like an alcoholic.

    He sounds like a very unhappy person and someone who therefore makes life very difficult for those around him.

    The best you can do is figure out how to do the minimum necessary to avoid provoking him. Hear all of his criticism as the rantings of someone who feels a desperate need to exert control and feel superior but who knows deep-down that he's a pathetic little man.

    You can't control how he is, but you do have some control over how you choose to react to what he says and does.

    It's very sad when kids can't respect or even like their parents very much, but unfortunately that's just the way life goes when the only qualification necessary to have kids is a couple who have at least one functional testicle and one ovary between them.

    Oh, and stop thinking of killing him. If you do that, you're only going to ensure that his malign influence on your life continues until the day you die.

    Kinda normal, but what's not normal is you wanting to kill him. Killing him can send you to prison its best to leave him and move far away from him.

      Wanting to kill the person that abused you your entire life is pretty normal. Whether it will send you to prison or not.
