I can’t stand my dad anymore
He’s a great dad, don’t get me wrong, he’d do anything for me. But he’s so damn annoying. He has anger issues and is well aware of it, but won’t do anything to help it. He screams at the top of his lungs over anything. Him and I argue quite a lot over stupid petty things because he loses his shit over the smallest things. My mum is on holiday for a week and I’ve been arguing with him all the time. Not even argue, it’s just him screaming at me for whatever reason. The first day my mum left he yelled at me 3 times. Yesterday he yelled at me as soon as I got home, literally saw me and the first thing he did is yell at me because I scared him because he didn’t hear me coming. He’s painting the house now, earlier he asked me to open the door for him because he had his painting stuff in his hands. I did and walked to the side so he could walk past me and I barely touched the tv. He started screaming telling me I always do shit like this and I don’t look around me and I just kick the tv off on the floor, to which I replied I barely touched it and he screamed even louder saying if I talk back one more time he’ll grab me by my hair. Like fucking do it already, I’d rather be dead than live with you for another day. So I took the dog for a walk and cried my eyes out. Now he just yelled at me again, he said I can’t even look after the dog and won’t help him with anything while he’s busy. Like just tell me to come get the dog, how am I supposed to know he’s getting in the way when you don’t fucking talk?!
He does the same things when my mum’s home, but not as much because my mum always picks my side ans tells him to leave me alone because I’m not doinf anything wrong but now that she’s gone he’s being a complete twat towards me so I’m currently crying in my room again. Him and her always argue because he loses his shit over anything as well, you’d ask him a question and hed get annoyed. She always tells him he needs to sort himself out and he thinks we all think he’s crazy. Like yeah you act like it. Other than that he’s nice to me, but I’m so sick of having him scream at me over anything I do. Whatever I do is never good enough. The other day he asked me to help him carry something that was heavy and he got mad at me and said I’m so weak I can’t even do that and to leave. He also yells a lot at the dog as well as if the dog knows what’s wrong or right. Before my mum left for her holiday he walked him at night (he always walks him ar night) and came back really annoyed and said he’s not gonna walk him anymore because he pisses him off and me and mum can do it. So I said ok if you don’t wanna do it then we will. To which he screamed at me again saying I’m acting like a bitch and what’s up with me talking back like I literally just confirmed what you just said...
I know, I should move out. But I can’t afford it. I’m in college and I have a part time job that doesn’t earn me enough to live or even pay a possible rent, even when I do extra hours. If I wasn’t in college I’d get a full time job and move the fuck out this house asap. I guess I just needed to vent, he’s always been like this but as he grows older his anger issues are getting worse. But he’s never been physical towards me or my mum. I’m so sick of it I just wish a car would hit me already and leave me there to die
