PS: This post is HUGE, you can just read the first paragraph or so and answer my last question. Btw I'm 17.
So I just got home from WALKING my dog, and I get home and my dad is like: Son I made you food it's in the table. I grab it and I sit on my pc. 30 minutes after my dad is going to work and he says: So you're gonna be there until midnight? It's 17:50. He says: You're gonna be there for 5 hours huh? And I'm like: How can you say that? And he says: Son you're in the pc the whole day. (LIE! I stay one hour maybe, but I'm almost always out and stuff. It's not that bad, I'm a healthy person I'd say... I'm not a guy who does nothing except sitting in the pc all day!) Sitting in that artificial screen looking at that artificial colours.... It's robbing your life! I'm really sorry for your life. Yuo should do something else, you should go to the libraby and grab a book and read it. You're wasting your life. It's like you are being robbed. It's like you can't go out you don't have the power to do that. You're in someone elses hands, you're being manipulated by the televison. You should really reconsider your life. You're like a pawn, you know? Pawn, is that how you say it, how do you say it? I really hope you reconsider your ilfe. Bye son!
It was MORE OR LESS like that! I can't remember everything, but that's how it was. Me and my dad have MAJOR MAJOR arguements for ?NOTHING. I NEVER talk to him. Anything I say he twiches it around and tryes to make me look bad. This time it was very direct, but sometimes he makes me angry and it's like MY fault! It's like he's indirectly trying to make me angry. I don't think he means that what he said, I don't think he's saying it because I spend some time at the pc sometimes. Why would you think he says such a thing? He does it like all the time too.
For example today I came from school REALLY EARLY and then my dad arrived (I was in my room) and I was like: Dad when are you going to go away from the pc? (It seems rude in english but it's a normal question) and my dad: What, I just got here and you're trying to take me away already!! bla bla bla. Same old same old. Then he starts saying stuff like, that's why you failed at maths last year, you're always in the pc. (Of course that wasn't the reason!). He sometimes calls me stupid too, but that's uncommon. (I'm preety smart I think!). His style is to try to make ME look guilty for something, even if I am doing something normal!! Like for example, he makes me REALLY hot cereal sometimes. I know I should better do it myself, but he does it for me anyways. If I say it once, dad you make me too hot cereal, he makes it again next day.Then I say it and hes like okay i'll put some colder milk. Then next day he does it again and I ask, didn't I have told you not to make it so hot? (Something like that, I don't ask it in a rude way, totally normal, seems worse in english). And he's like: Again with the same old story, what are you trying to provoke me, always nagging me? I made you cereal you should just appreciate it. And I was, I didn't ask you really, I could do it yourself. (I sayed it very nicley, not rude at all). "I just make you cereal, just woke up, you come with this again?" Next time you do it yourself then, don't complain to me, you don't wanna ruin my day with this crap, bla bla bla, a little after I'm a psycho. I'm like I don't wanna provoke you, and my sister is like: He's just ungratful. I don't think my sister does it on purpose, she just doesn't get me i guess. I would gladly make my own cereal, i really appreciate it, but I don't even ask him to do it, but he always makes me SO HOT, sometimes I forget it, and I almost burn myself. It may look like I'm being a stupid ass saying stuff like that, but I would never say that to make him angry or something I was just pointing out he made me really hot cereal like 3 or more days in a row. I think he undesrstands it but does it anyway! Would that be a resasonable idea? Sometimes it really gets to me, like it's really not so obvious, but I don't think I do stuff THAT bad, he could easily think something else, but it turns out I do really bad stuff, that's how he sees it, and that I'm trying to provoke him. If I adress to him, he'll turn it around. Sooner or later I'll get a little angry and say something mean and when I try to talk to him, he goes a different subject, it's rally hard to directly talk to him.
For example, once I just beat one of my friends in chess, but he was like all game to my friend: Play that, bla bla bla. Just to beat me I guess? Then if I win he's like: Oh you can't beat him, he's too strong now, he sits playing chess all day on the net. But he doesnt have a job. He beats you at chess, but at least you'll get paid in the end of the month, and he won't get nothing! Something like that, but more disguised, like he's not saying anything wrong. And if I ask: Dad are you just saying that to make me angry or what? He says: You're sick, you're making this up because you're against me.
But I would never say that to make him angry, I really think like that, that he's doing these stuff on purpose to make me angry. I don't even want to waste my time arguing, but I really think he's doing it on purpose do you understand? It really really looks that way.
Sooner or later he'll find out something bad that I did and he ends up calling my trash or stuff like that, but for example my mom would never do that.
I could give some more examples, but what do you think? I think that if I tell you this, for example the hot cereal thing, it may look like I'm being totally stupid, but whatever I say he turns it against me. I think that's a normal question, I don't want to make a arguement, but that's what my dad always says, that I just want to argue with him. I sometimes really think I am crazy, because it's easy to interprete it like I AM really just trying to annoy him, but I'm not. For example once my chess board was in a position, and my dad arrives home, it was on the pc table, and my dad sits on the table and throws it all down and throws the pieces in the box really agressivly. And I was like dad couldn't you have throwned it more lightly, you may even brake something! He was like: Wow here we go again, can't I sit for one second in peace? If he walks by me, like in a small hall, he sometimes kind of bumps me, but kind of agressivly. It doesn't hurt, but it's a mean bump, he doesn't even say anything. Here it may seem like I'm being all whiny, but I really think he does that kind of stuff on purpose sometimes. Sometimes he gets really angry and throws stuff on the ground! One time I was like: Dad can I go to the pc real fast, I need to do something for school? I really needed it. He was like: Let me finish reading this page. (It wasn't THAT big of a page, but I was nervous because it was 23:00, and I had to correct something on a work that I was supposed to deliver tomorrow, and I'm not sure how long it would take. Plus he seems to read slowly sometimes. I'm not sure about that.) You don't want to do that, you have a lot of time, you just want to take me out of here for control. I was like: Well you could let me go there, it's for school. He was like: Oh I bet you won't even do anything for school anyway! I just got here, let me end reading this!! I usually aim to sleep 8 hours, and it was like 23:00, my school starts at 8:15, but I calculate I need like 45 minutes to eat, brush my teeth, on the way to school it takes a while, etc. So I was kind of unsure about the time and all, I'm sort of unsure about that stuff! But he ended up only letting me go there, I was kind of trying to convince him, he could read it later, he was insiting for me to let him read that to the end (I should have just dropped right from the beggining) I ended up arguing with him and I only got there like 30 minutes after. I was kind of nervous about the time too, because it could have taken it for like 10-15 minutes to read that, but I ended up going there only after. If I was on his place I would let me go there in a second! He was talking that I want to control him, saying that: You're like you wanna be the boss here, but you can't because you're too young. You just want to point people your finger and say, you go away from there now! (THe boss thing he told me on a different ocasion I think, but he says stuff like that sometimes).
How can I handle my dad's arguements, any advice for me? I told him to go see a psychartist, but he tells me that it is I who need one!! Can you believe that!? Sometimes I really do question myself, but I'm positive that he does stuff like that for some reason, maybe just to annoy me. What do you think? Why would he say stuff like that? Am I just being paranoid? I hardly think so. Any advices for me? Thanks! I guess it could be worse tho, at least he doesn't beat me up or anything. But he does really shout a lot to me and I've heard to worse words, and been in the most unpleasent of ALL situations so far. Him throwing stuff to the ground, being called trash, my mom cries sometimes, my dog goes to the room a lot of times when he and I argue (I try to stay away from arguements sometimes). Oh, I almost forgot, when I try to argue with him, saying, how is it possible that you say stuff like that? He's like lower your voice, you're shouting, you're shouting, and then he like goes away, never lets me talk to him. It really can seem that I am the one who is wrong, but the truth is, I'm the most positive indiviual I know, I am always okay out of home, I rarley ever get angry.
As I said, any advices for me? Thanks a lot. It really feels better just to have written that. I have a audio recording i recorded of him calling me names or something I think. I've thought of throwing his cigarrets away a lot of times, just to make him angry for all the stuff he's done me, but I've always restrained myself hehe. I'm glad I did that! He smokes TONS by the way. About the pc thing, he tells me like: Son I expected a man out of you, you're always on the pc, bla bla bla.
I could go on forever. Any advices? It may not seem like I need them, but I really could use some. Like is it a good idea just to ignore my emotions, would they go away? I try to do that all the time, since talking to him doesn't work. Is that unhealthy? I could do that easily I guess. Is ignoring it just fine or not? And why is the reason he would do such things? if you know, I would love to hear something about that.
So I just got home from WALKING my dog, and I get home and my dad is like: Son I made you food it's in the table.
