My dad constantly wants control over the family.
He thinks everyone is against him, being disrespectful to him and gossiping behind his back. If we make a mistake when following what he says or expresses our opinion he would say we’re all trying to go against him. He want the family to be like a workplace where he’s the boss and we’re workers. (so obey without questioning at all) He says that everything he do he has already thought about for a long time so it is a good thing to do. And that we’re a bunch of no-brainers so we should just listen to him. ( most of the time his ideas are really bad: buying 20 cases of windowshield fluid and hopes to sell them fast, buying a farm when we still have a huge mortgage and when most farmers are not doing well). He constantly flips out, but few times resorting to physical abuse. Today is my mom and dad’s 19 years anniversary. Instead he yelled at her because she tries to sway him away from the idea of buying the farm because it’s too much pressure on the whole family. He said she gave the idea no thought, that she’s a pig, a no brainer and we can all go die. Please don’t suggest divorce. I’m 16 and I have 2 little brothers: one’s 4 and one’s almost 2. That’s the reason my mom didn’t get divorce yet. But we are always tense and miserable around my dad. Now that we own a store my dad just sits around and not even bother with taking care of it except for the bills. Only me and my mom and another employee work from 5 in the morning till 11 at night. (mom is usually 5-11am and i go from there till 11 at night, dad hardly works in teh store) But he still gets angry and yells at us for not preparing the bills and coins and receipts the way he likes it so it’s easier for him to do the banking. We took him to a doctor but he won’t tell her the truth about his problems. This is a big post but I’m really sad. My family has been going through this for years. Could someone help us?
