This is over something so stupid. I put a chocolate pudding in the microwave, and looked at the time it takes on the box, which was 60 seconds. After that time I took it out of the microwave, and said to my Dad "I think it's done." I have to have reassurance from my parents when putting something in the microwave. It's just a thing I have, even though I already know how long it should be in.

My Dad suddenly went into a massive rave about it, saying "Use your brain for once in your life, and read the back of the box!! !" I then yelled at the top of my voice "I DIIIIIIID!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !" :twisted:. "And you can stop your shouting as well!", he said. Grrrr!! ! It makes me absolutely furious, how anyone can say I don't use my brain, when I never, ever stop using it, to think, all day and all night!!

And once before, he said I never read books, I kept saying that I did, even though I struggle to read them. That ended with me throwing a bottle of tomato sauce (ketchup) against a wall. That's just my way of expressing my anger when I'm pushed to the limit.

I hate my Dad so much right now, he's just so wrong, but will never accept it because he's "God" and he is "superior to all". He was born when blacks had no rights and when most other things were Hitlerized, thus why he's stuck in a world that doesn't exist anymore. They will never bring back the f***ing 50's, Dad!! !

Sorry, now I'm having a rave about it. Outrage. :twisted:

I do not have any comforting suggestions for you, but I want you to know I hope your dad eventually "catches on" more quickly than I did for my own daughters. People need the kind of reassurance you have mentioned, but some of us parents fall short there. Mostly here, I just want you to know your post did not go unnoticed.

As for your Dad, I think when people go ballistic over things that don't matter, it means they are not dealing with their anger over things that do matter.
