I hate my father. I can't take it anymore.

I don't really know how my English will sound, and if I'll still be able to be understandable after this. But I really can't take it anymore. He scolds me for no reasons. He's never nice, he shouts at me, ALWAYS. Since my mother passed away when I was 12, he has never been nice to me, not only once. I'm always the one at fault, my brother never is, my sister never is, and they're older than me, they don't need that much support. I dropped university because he didn't want to pay for it, he never told it, but since he didn't pay I had no choice. Now I have problems at finding a job, I'm working at a private teacher to some girls and in a theater, but I don't earn enough to go away. Tonight, I wanted to help him at doing some housework, but he ended up shouting at me and trying to hit me. I can't take it anymore...

That is so sad to hear, I always thought a father should be supportive of their children but I know that is not the case with a lot of parents. My kids father is much like that which is part of the reason why I am not with him anymore. Lucky for my kids they have the choice to see him or not. Do you think you could move in with a friend or your brother or sister until you get enough to get your own place. At least you would be away from him and maybe he would realise what he has lost by being the way he is.

My brother is still with us and my sister is going to move with her boyfriend in September, I really can't live with them, I would feel the third wheel. It's sad that the only thing that is keeping me at home are my cats, or else I would live under a bridge, I tell you...

Ahem!..your English is getting better and better....well, is there any reason that you may have caused some hatred being developed for you by your father...THINK and try to REMEMBER....there are always solutions to these kind of problems "within" than trying to reach out to public domains....IF you find no reason to have caused his hostile behavior, than I suggest you confront it with the same vigor....

It sure seems like you got a lot going in and I can can say that I completely understand. Although I don't hate my father he has never been in my life.I am 34 and I haven't talked to my mother in almost 8 years.Maybe your fathers is acting that way since the lost of your mother because he has had a hard time dealing with it. That doesn't give him the right to mistreat you though. My whole life I had issues in my household. The best advise that I can give you is to see if you can call one of those crisis hotlines in your area. Also get a diary and keep track of your feelings so that you don't keep them bottled up. I know that you said your father is mean but maybe he doesn't understand how this is bothering you try writing him a letter expressing how you feel.Another thing that you can do is Pray,Ask God to reach into your fathers heart.I really hope that things get better for you :)
