It is a sad situation..I feel bad bc I know what you are talking about..my dad is mentally ill and only speaks to me these days when he wants to verbally abuse me..I am doing the best I can..I have decided to not speak to him again bc today was the last straw..I’ve put up with it for 38 years..no more..what’s worse is me and my mom are supporting him bc he can’t work anymore..I am not going to be bought down by him..I have been threatened also which is very unnerving..
I hope you are able to get away from your family..it appears that they are no good for you at all..its not your fault remember that.. - written 2 months ago
I really understand what you mean..my dad is mentally ill..he has stopped working..I live with him and my mom to support him financially..he is verbally abusive and does not speak to me other than to verbally abuse..he does see a dr but it does little except keep him out of the hospital bc of medications. My mom deals with him the best she can..I’m done with him though bc he’s turned his back on me..he tells me he hates me now and he is so cold..Its hard to turn your back on your dad but I have to bc he won’t have anything to do with me!! its very unfortunate..and it makes me sad..
It must be nice to have a “normal” father..nothing can be done - written 2 months ago
