Is this verbal abuse?

[clairebear58]

I feel like a big brat, I mean I don't WANT to feel sorry for myself, but you you consider my dad a shitty parent?

-He drinks to much, he drinks every night.
-And he gets drunk in front of me any my 2 brothers.
-He yells so much, and it's not even about terrible stuff, he'll yell and bang stuff around if the dishes aren't finished.
-He calls me names.
-He sometimes ignores me.
-Then he yells more.

Yea, he's a shiz parent.

Yes, if you feel hurt by the names that he calls you, and when he shouts at you, that is verbal abuse.

I suggest you talk to someone trustworthy about this before it escalates, im not saying that it will, but these things can often get out of hand.

The name-calling can be classed as verbal abuse.
He needs to get some help to sort his drinking out. Maybe you could approach him (warily) about it when he's sober. Or talk to a trusted adult and see if they can help.

as much as the quote above makes u hope u can change him it really wont. i mean u could aproch him and talk to him but then he might get mad at you and we dont want that. my friend is in the same boat except bother her parents are like that. she usally stays with her garndparents however if u cant do that you could try to get ur family together and address the problem as a whole. i would not do it alone tho. u need the support of many peopl to kick this disease. i wish i could say more but im just not to sure, but i would try that first. and no i dont think he's a crappy parent, i think the things he does is crappy but overall i think if he relized the stuff he did he would change. just dont pressure him about it or it could turn out real bad.

Where's your mom in all this? It might be a good idea for you (and maybe your sibs, too) to sit down with her and discuss your dad's behvior and come up with some kind of family plan to address it. As the other adult, she's in the best position to address your dad's beahvior with him, and specifically his alcoholism, as it's when he's been drinking that it occurs.

If things don't feel right, then it's enough of reason to try to address it, regardless of what you call the behavior.

If I were you, I'd talk to my school counselor. They may be able to help him, but even if not, they can probably help you. Or talk to your mom, and see if she can get him to try and stop drinking, or try and get her to get help from an outside source to help it stop.

Sounds like he's depressed. It's not fair to reticule him when he clearly has a problem. Why not seek help?

[Teener]

Your father probably works hard; and comes home to a dirty house, I can relate.

Do the dishes.

[Specter]

Yes this is most defiantly a from of abuse, I’d keep a close eye on him, if it gets any worse all the police. Thats the best advise one could give.

[soggytoast]

sounds like a pretty average parent to me

He's a bad parent, but that's the "norm" nowadays. Ever consider that maybe you're doing something wrong, too?

Think about it.

It may also be your mother. And if they're divorced, check your siblings attitudes, too.

Nobody is bad by choice. Stress breaks a man.
