I hate living with my dad

[CharlieHorse]

Really the only reason why I live with my dad is because he has money.
I’ve always hated him, since I was a toddler.
He couldn’t care less about how I feel. He thinks my depression and Add is just laziness and stupidity.
He doesn’t care about what I have to say. He thinks I’m just a stupid kid who has no credibility. He also tries to ridicule me and make me feel horrible. I try to be friendly with him all the time, but he is just such an ass sometimes.
All he ever wanted was to have perfect sons following in his footsteps. And because of that, I want to do everything I can to not be like him.
He wants me to be successful in school more than he wants me to be a sane, mentally healthy person. He wouldn’t care if I told him I want to kill myself. He just wants me to get to class on time, even if I’m in mid-panic attack or crying my guts out.
I just want to leave the house, move away, live my own fucking life, try to fix my broken mind which he helped cause, and be fucking happy without ever having to deal with him again.
He has ruined my life.

Except I can't. I'm stuck here, and I can't avoid him. I am really fucking angry about this. I have no idea what to do.

The only real plausible and realistic answer I can think of is wait 'till you turn 18 and move out...

But that's not free or easy.

Is there anyone who would allow you to move in with them?

I'm sorry for that first off. Im sorry i dont known what to say. He seems rly angry and mad but maybe you should go live with someone else or ask a family member to take you in because that is no way of living and id hate if i were in that situation.

I could live with my mom, but long story short if I leave my dads house, he'll kick the dog out of the house too, and my mom's house can't have pets.

Do you have a counselor at school?

Are you positive you couldn't convince your mom to let you take your dog with you? Maybe if you explained the situation to her she would be ok with it.

From what he's said, it sounds like she might live in a rental, and a lot of them don't allow pets.

I could be wrong, but it just sounds that way, from how he worded it. Or at least, that it's out of his mom's control.

Anyways, @OP, I'm kind of in the same position- though since being diagnosed as bipolar, my parents have been a lot more accommodating and sympathetic. I think they genuinely do love and care about me, I just think they don't know how to treat me.

I'm not going to make any assumptions about your dad either way. How long until you turn 18? Like another user suggested, do you have friends or family that'll take you and the dog in?

You're right about the dog thing.
And it does seem that they do care, but they don't know how to treat me.
I'm going to be 18 next march, but i doubt i could live on my own. I have to stay in the area to stay in the school district, and because it's an expensive area, i couldn't live on my own.

Ah, that's difficult. (At least 18 is getting closer- my birthday's in February)

Hmm. I know this sounds crazy, but sometimes, if you talk to the principal of a school, or a guidance counselor about things like these, they can help you, either by giving you a break sometimes in school (letting you come to the office during a panic attack, etc.) or possibly even finding you a better place to live. Does that sound reasonable?

Sorry, good luck :(

I know we've talked about it before but I'm wondering if going to live with your mom is an option ? Or maybe since you have dual citizenship you could go to live with your relatives so you can get away from the situation.

I think living with mom is possible. It'll just take some major changes. I also want to stay in the school district so I can finish school. I guess I'll talk to my parents about it

I have the same feelings about my dad except him wanting me to follow his footsteps

[Snydergate]

I have also hated my dad since I was a toddler as well. My dad is exactly like yours, he was a complete ass to me and said all the same stuff he said to you. But he was saying because he thought it would help me, he thought he was being nice. He said I was mentally ill, and I am a very mean person, and that I should stay with him if I want to be successful. I went through this for about 5 years, five years of depression. So now I live with my mother full time and haven't spoken to him in over a year. He can go F**K himself for all I care.
