Four Days....FOUR BLOODY DAYS!! !

Post Reply New Topic

...this has got to be a record...

For 4 consecutive days, my father has succeeded in angering me...but this day was the worst of them...and you know what it was over?

It was over mom's digital clock in the living room.

You see, my brother had adjusted her clock so that it displayed the correct time that was in the kitchen...but I remembered that Mom likes her clock to be 6 minutes fast so she won't be late for work. So I set the clock forward a few minutes, and when dad and my brother caught me doing it, Dad flat out said 'don't touch mom's clock!' Even when I justified my reason, and even when Dave stood up for me, dad's response was still the same...and that really BURNED ME.

Right now...I think that if dad wasn't going back to work tomorrow morning...I think I would literally beat the s**t out of him if he made it FIVE in a row! At this moment, I don't know whether to harm him or harm myself...or just stew in my anger until I die of a stomach ulcer...

Or...I could finally get my own apartment, so I can get the F**K AS FAR AWAY FROM HIM AS POSSIBLE!! !!

Please help me...

Maybe you can SET ALL clocks in the house 6 minutes fast. That way she will be on time, and your father may never know.

I don't really mean this to sound as patronizing as it probably will do but one day you probably wont have to live with him and you'll probably forget why he made you so angry all the time.

My Mum and Sister used to constantly fight when they lived together but my sister moved in with our dad when she was 15 and now there like best friends. Having to share a space with someone for a long period of time is going to cause a lot of tension.

Eh same here, my dad is a lovely man don't get me wrong but there are just somethings that he and I get in a row about at times. Usually it depends on his mood and how much his knee (which he has had three surgeries on) is hurting. Hell, I'm going to be 29 in a couple of weeks and I am still living with him. I'm on the Sec *8 list but that has been capped for now because of the economy and the lack of funds from the government. So I'm stuck here until then but hey I'm going to college at least.

You could try and ask him what he is so upset about or why he treats you the same way. If he doesn't want to talk about it then at least put some distance between you and him, I realize that not all parents get along with their kids.

Be patient and know that you will be able to be on your own someday.

Is this something like your personal dairy or what? :-/

All I can say is stop doing anything you know can piss him off.
As far as you state, even if you justify what you do he does something.
Simply just stop it then, let their buisness, be their buisness.
And if your sad says crap agan simply snap back at him and tell him he ALWAYS, no matter if you do something or you don't, he always find somethg to complain about.

Posting it ad some weekly blog whont help unless you like to rant and feel better. And I think people have a vague idea of how your dad is from all your complaining.

Usagi, I can totally relate to what you're going through here. Totally. I too have a strained relationship with my father. I too have fallen into many heated arguments with my father. I too have wanted to physically attack him, kill him, even.

There have been times where I felt like saying, "Dad ... if you were any other man I'd drop you like a sack of potatoes."

But that is one sentence I've never uttered.

When I was a small boy, my Dad was huge and terrifying. But now that I'm 5'10" and over 200 pounds, he's not so terrifying. Sometimes he's like a child bully who always has to get his way. He sets me off and I set him off. We're both men now, and we both have that macho never-back-down thing going.
