Hi, It's me again. You must been wondering where have I been today hm? Well.. I've been into problems lately, and I have a big problem in my hands. My mom and dad mostly fought everytime when my dad comes home drunk which he always goes home drunk, I am really in the middle where my mom and dad might sepatate. You think it's good? Um, no. I have respect to my dad even he can't help me, like literally, "NOPE". He's mostly on the pc with the big monitor, reading stuff on the internet. Like he didn't care if me or my brother got in trouble or not, he mostly order us to get stuff like "You, give me water" something like that. But, the fights him and my mom. They never shown to my face, it is mostly onto my brother's face. I don't know why he always try to punch my brother, put the ashes from cigarettes in thr ashtray on his head while he sleep, calling him names and trying to KILL him. I don't get it why he does it to him but not me, why not me. I asked my mother about this and she told the whole story (Technically not the whole story I think) That he punched my mom mostly before me or my brother was born, he tortured my mom everytime he goes home. I heard started drinking when his 16, 16! Damn, that's why I hate alcoholics. And you must be wondering "Why don't you call the cops or such?" It's because my mom still respects my dad but now she's tired all of this and wanted my dad out of the house. I am really.... In a bad situation, I don't know if I can handle this desicion. If I either go to my mother or father, I just don't know. I might be inactive for a week or 2, just need to do things. I might end up into depresssion, because this is one of the biggest desicions I have to make. - Enderbrine
Sorry to hear that ender ._. about the "either go to my mother or father" part, Its really up to you. Depends on how you want your future will be
I feel like you should go with your mom, not only because of what your dad did, but because think how life would be if you chose either side and imo, I feel like your dad is trying to ease the pain/guilt for what he did to your mom by drinking. Like you said, he can't help you becuase he is mostly on the computer and as you said trying to KILL your brother. I am sorry for what you are going through. *Hugs*
I'm sorry to hear this. Take all the time you need to make the right decision for yourself. My parents split up over the summer, so I can relate somewhat.
I am sorry to hear that, but that split part is up 2u. It's sad, to see them away, even for my parents when they travel apart with a ocean in between, then we visit. I am sorry to hear that,(again)
So, your father is basically being a douche to you guys especially your brother ? Okay, I'm somewhat in the same situation as you except that I'm forced to see my parents flame at each other every single day and watch as the days pass by till they have to go to court. Honestly, let things take it's time. If you end up with your mother, so be it. If you end up with your father, so be it, this is as long he doesn't hurt you in any way though for that's child abuse. These things sadly, you cannot control all I can do for you is pray and wish you the best of luck. Good Luck Uncle, when the time comes, I hope you can make the right decision.
That's really sad to hear... Maybe you should talk to your mom about his problems and contact a therapist who knows how to deal with alcoholics... Because your dad threats you guys really bad if I hear your story. I wish I could do more to help you out, but I can't.
The last thing you want to do is give into depression, it'll complicate your situation, and make things worse for you in the long run. At this moment you should do everything in your power to keep your brother, and your mother safe. Try your best not to confront (fight/argue) your father to much, until the situation dissolves. If push comes to shove, talk to him calmly. Calmly is the key word, no shouting, etc. He is more likely to listening to you since he (from your story at least) does not seem to be harming you. After this situation is said and done, always remember to be a father (if you're going to be one) 10000x better than yours. Guys nowadays always get a bad rap with fatherhood (any race, whatsoever), break that stereotype.
I'm sorry to hear that Ender, I hope everything goes fine and I wish you could luck with this situation. See you soon :/
