I let my feelings out, express it, in forms of words, tears, etc. It’s not healthy to keep everything inside. And once you can’t contain any longer, you explode, and people around you might think you’re just crazy.

O___O i don’t think im helpful in this kind of situation, coz i never went thru such trauma. sorry ><

try spending less time at home, go round friends houses and out and arround to keep your mind of things just rember that its not your fault and your not to blame for anything

Lots of parents say things they don’t mean, sort of a thing of the moment, they never mean it. honestly don’t worry about it
as for crying its fine its Good if anything this means your lettign your anger out and not holding everything inside

oh my…thats harsh. Your dad probably doesnt know what he’s saying, probably because he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Might as well cry all the emotions out. I think your dad needs help. Maybe he can go to those meetings(AA??)

-peace out-

sorry if this is a personal question. you you live with both your parents?

Ooh Okay, dose any of your family .. like gran parents auntie’s or uncles live near you, it might be a good idea to have some time away from your dad just to mabey sort yourslef out you sound a little upset

and i don’t suggest getting drunk… it will only damage your liver and make you upset

This sounds really like from a teen drama or something. Well for one thing, you may try to be independent. Don’t be dependant on your dad, because sometimes he doesn’t know whats best for you and himself. Although you have to start being mature at such young(teen) age, it would hurt, but make/build you stronger. Don’t think that your life is over or anything like that, because once you think it is, it really is.

Life sux, nobody ever said it was easy.

I write down all the things in life I am grateful for: the food on my table, the purr of my kitten, the roof over my head. When things are very bad, you sometimes have to really look hard. I remember one year long ago when one of my kids was in trouble, I wrote down, “I am grateful that the police picked Billy up before he hurt someone.” You might be grateful that you have a good figure, or that your favorite aunt remembered to send you a Christmas card, or that you noticed your tire was going flat before you got out on the open road and had a dangerous blowout.

If you do this every day, you will slowly learn to appreciate life’s simple pleasures and take attention away from the things that are causing you so much pain.

Good luck, and bless you.

I usually listen to music and then flail myself into walls and furniture. I vary the music depending on the type of sadness or anger. For existential numbness I might listen to something like The Passenger by Iggy Pop or New Slang by The Shins. The key is, the song needs to have an eerie background harmony during the chorus that repeats “la la la la la…”

For social isolation, I recommend the Eels. For loneliness, Ben Harper. Heartache and longing, maybe Radiohead or Death Cab for Cutie. Rama Lama by Sons and Daughters is a great choice for paranoid anger. Authority got you down? Try Killing In The Name by Rage Against the Machine.

No, sorry, I just picked the name Billy at random. I didn’t want to post my son’s real name. He’s a fine young man now, through with getting in trouble, and I didn’t want to risk embarrassing him if anyone saw the post and recognized the situation.

You sound like a fine young man, too–good for you for not being willing to “self-medicate” your sorrow with alcohol and drugs. It sounds like you were born into a very tough situation, with parents who were unwilling or unable to give you the love and support you needed. It’s hard enough to grow up WITH two functional parents; you’ve really gotten a raw deal, and you face an extra-difficult challenge, yet you haven’t given up to substance abuse or despair.

I congratulate you for getting as far as you have. How old are you now? Are you in school? Do you work? Do you have any kind of a support network in your life?
