my dad is such an awful person and I have no clue why or how my mom is still married to him. I’m starting to wish they would just divorce because I am so sick of my dad. my mom and I do EVERYTHING. my dad does absolutely nothing. He orders stuff online for himself, works on his truck and watches tv. Has has come to maybe 3 of my track meets within the last 4 years. My mom has been to every single meet except maybe 2. My dad has never taken me anywhere, my mom always takes me places and sets up doctor appointments and dermatologist appointments. My dad has never contributed to any of that. He has never offered to drive me to a friends house or anything like that. Whenever he needs something, he makes my mom go out and do it EVERYTIME. and if she is busy and can’t, he yells at her and gets so mad. He always has to be right about things and he never listens to anybody, even when I was having suicidal thoughts and I told him and he didn’t say a word to me. My mom however put me through therapy and counseling. He is just such an ass and doesn’t do a thing and is always mad at everyone and hates everything I do. I want to get braces he tells me all the reasons why I shouldn’t and he tells me that’s stupid and I don’t need to be perfect (my teeth have actual problems that need to be fixed though). I just hate him.

Idk anymore
lately I’ve been really insecure about my body so I’m trying to workout and change my diet. but, everything I eat and whatever I do to workout, my mom alway...
I’m very sorry about that. I live in a very similar situation, my dad is at home but has never been present in my life. I’ve sought a solution to that for a long time, but really the only thing that is up to you is trying to be close to your mother, the more you can. At the end of the day, he’s always going to be there, sitting on the couch not caring about anything, but you always have you mother, and she seems like a very strong woman, and I’m sure she needs you just as much as you need her. Be glad for the support you’re given by her, because she’s doing the job two parents should. At least that’s what I tell myself when it’s harder to keep up with the situation. Life will get better and one day you’ll be able to help yourself and her to get free
Replythey say dad's are the best in the world while my dad has his own towing company but is making nothing from it. he even forgets his own kids birthdays. when his kids do something to make him proud he says good when we do something bad we get yelled at. recently i got my (car) permits and I am 20 years old now and when i came home to tell him all i got was a congrats. for a car i have to get a job. i dropped out of college my parents weren't happy with it but they don't know the real reason why i dropped out. every time we go out to celebrate me getting my permits he has a problem. when my mom birthday came he got her a apple watch and himself a watch. i didn't get anything for getting my permits. now he is just sitting home watching tv. fuck my life!
ReplyIt's shocking how eerily similar your situation is to mine, I hate my "father" (he doesn't even deserve to be called that) he was never there for us, my mom was played the part of being both "mom and dad". I haven't spoken to my father for 5-6 years now and we live in the same house. Just like you I always wished they'd get a divorce and save all of us from the misery, but that never happened. He verbally abuses my mom and it fucking hurts to see her like that. I always envied the other kid's dads who brought them all kinds of things on their birthdays while mine didn't even bother to wish me. At this point I've gotten used to it, but for how long?? Sometimes it gets so loud it's unbearable. Usually I never say things like "I know what you're going through" but in this case I know exactly what you're going through. It sucks I know, it sucks to have that innocence stolen from you at such a young age, that you were forced to act mature sooner than ever. As the children of our parents we feel it's right that divorce is the correct option, maybe it is. But just place yourself in your mother's shoes, sometimes it's not as easy as it sounds. Your mom sounds like a very strong woman, I really hope things work out for you.
