Dear reader, I come from a middle class family. My family lives just like any other family covering lies, hiding tears, holding back grudges and putting on fake smiles. My life was either directed by my brother or mother. My life has been okaish if I must say but it could've been totally different. I am a 17yr girl and my father is not my hero. My father is the sole reason why my life has been ruined. He is a jealous and alcoholic man. When my brother got his first job, my father acted as if he was happy. Days passed by and one night he randomly started telling my brother to quit his job coz he can't see his son working hard, well we knew that he was jealous coz my brother's salary is more than my father's salary. It was not the first time that my father outbursted like this. Whenever we used to go to visit my maternal side family or attend any functions of my maternal side he would come with a fake smile but when we came back he would start shouting on my mom. It's not only with the maternal side, it's also with the paternal side. God knows why did he even marry and why did he even plan to have kids. It's been 17yrs and soon I'll be turning 18 and my life so far is upto no good. Me and my brother have limited our conversations with him. I guess it's for good. Before I used to think maybe I'll regret it later but now I realize that, if I don't limit my conversations now I might regret it for sure. Listening to him shouting at my mom, hitting things, listening to cuss words he uses I sometimes feel like is this how it's going to be? Am I going to be quiet always?
I just wish I didn't have my father. Or I wish I was sent away to other state or country just so that I can get rid of him. There's like tons of things to type.

i know how you feel, He's was never that bad(not to say he was good), but i dont think i'll ever get drunk, after seeing how my father used to act. Maybe if you go to a college far away, or get a job that pays enough for you to move out. My dads an ass, but his financial advice isnt the worse. ive heard from him that being a nurse, or getting a career in infotech is guaranteed money. For infotech specifically, i did a little research, and apparantly they're so in demand they're hiring people who have the skills, no college necesary. 60,000 dollars starting. help desk technician. It sucks now, but eventually, and soon, there will be a point in both our lives where we don't have to deal with our fathers on a daily basis.
