I'm a female and a freshman in high school. Now homecoming is a dance that has been the most common thing talked about. I was looking forward to going with my closest friends, even tho I don't have a date that doesn't mean I can't have fun, right? Okay so I have a dad (that's billions of dollars in dept with all his child support from all his kids). I've been calling him every weekend asking for help for homecoming, sense my mom has been stressing out about how she was getting the money for my dress and ticket. 2 weeks (right now) before homecoming he completely goes off on me. He threatened to put his hands on me, he said that I have to save up my own money to pay for me sh*t (too young to get a job btw) and that he helps with everything so I need to stop asking for stuff (which he hasn't gaven my mom a penny sense he bought me a shirt and pants last year for school). I'm use to him yelling and cussing at me but whenever I hang up I always cry, even if I try not too. I felt bad for my mom sense she's a single mom, not a good paying job (in dept and struggles to keep food in our fridge) and she has to deal with 3 kids. I repedetly told my mom I was not going to homecoming sense he wasn't going to help, but she kept saying "It's okay I can pay for it, I'll figure out how to get the money. Remember I'll spend all my money to make you happy." I still refused. I need help. What do I do with my dad? Did I make the right decision on not going to homecoming? And to make things worse my crush said he was going to ask me to homecoming today but instead asked one of my best friends. (She said yes).

Rantings of a mad man

I think that you've gotta make it really clear to your mom that it's really okay and homecoming isn't the most important thing right now
(btw homecoming isn't that fun if you don't have someone to go with, it becomes a bunch of sweaty teens in a room together and its hard to keep your attention with your friends, especially if they have their own dates)
Make it clear to your dad that even if he doesn't get along with your mother he still should be there for her, he still has to be a father.
Let your mom know that it's okay to not go and you really mean it. That money can go to the family and supporting everyone versus a night that will probably be crappy anyway. (Hey you sill have 3 more years of homecoming and prom in the future)
Your crush: Hey man it's just a crush. He sounds like a dick no matter how much you like him. There will be other guys that can treat you better (not saying he treats you badly but anyway my thai noodles are ready I hope this helps)
ReplyThank you! You've really helped. I will text my dad tomorrow sense it's getting late. Me and my crush have been close for years which made me very upset that he said he would ask me to homecoming but didn't. I completely cut him off, I will not waste my time on someone who doesn't want/like me as much as I like him. I just found out that a friend of mine (we rarely talk) wants to ask me to homecoming in front of the whole school. What should I do? Should I just post on snapchat that I cannot go to homecoming so he can see it without me having to tell him face to face? You think he will understand or that he will think of me as a bad person?
