Good day friends
The peace did not last long, I had a conflict with my father again. He is like that every day, every day he utters ugly words, curses, insults, but he is always looking for a way to provoke my reaction, today he has succeeded. Of course, Mom was on his side again.
I will not burden you with my problems and I want to apologize to people who come to my post and read often only the negative things.
Today was a cloudy and colder day, I think we will get some rain soon.
How are you today?

I know how you feel. My mom is the same way. :( I try to stay focused on the positive things in life. Unless they decide to change, it's hard living with them.

I'm sorry you have a similar life. It's hard for me to focus on something positive because this takes too long. My father will never change.

@Pepsgirl472 That sounds so optimistic, but I no longer know how to deal with bad things. When I was younger, I could take it easier, but I don't think my psyche can handle it anymore. I'm too sensitive and I don't know how to fix it.

@Nevena83 it does take a miracle for them to change. But, you can concentrate on yourself. Take every negative word he spits out and turn it into a positive. When I was told that I was stupid, I worked hard to learn things. I'm not the smartest person on earth, but I'm NOT stupid either ;) when I was told that I wouldn't be somebody, I became the friend everyone wanted. Now, I AM somebody. I have 2 beautiful children that are smart and productive in life. I've adopted others into my family that chose ME! I have grandkids that I look forward to seeing what is in store for them :) that can never be taken away from me ever. All it takes is one step at a time. Work on one trait at a time and know you're not alone

How old is your father and had he always been this way?
Your mom might side with him because otherwise he might take it out on her when they are alone. It's possible that is you saw her separately that she wouldn't side with him at all. I ask his age and also whether his behavior is newer or an old habit because for some older people when they get senior afflictions such as dementia or Alzheimer's their words become more caustic and hurtful.
Take care and don't let his words lay heavy on your heart.

@Nevena83 drinking will do that too. If he can't be nice or at least civil I don't think it would be wrong to limit his visits. Your mental health is more important.

My father is 66 years old, he was always strict, but we were very close, I loved him very much. When I got divorced he started drinking and his consciousness started to change and he started acting like he was my husband and not my father. And more and more he started with insults, ugly words, he was also physically abusive ... And that lasts for 15 years. Honestly, his words kill me, I can't stand his presence anymore, his voice causes anger in me.

Yes, I can understand how you feel. I understand very much and you are welcome and so so sorry I live far away to help you and also because of this virus I cannot help you. I wish I could take your pain away. I grew up in a situation like that and married into a situation like that and have had bullies treat me so bad here and they still are very nasty so yes, I can understand.

I'm really sad this happened with you. But the fact is that some people aren't meant to get along at all

@amitkokiladitya That's very difficult. Every day I try to ignore him, but I can't even describe how awful he says things.

I would live in a cardboard box under a bridge before I would endure that on a daily basis. You are really suffering domestic abuse. Are there any shelters you can go to? Do you have any friends that could help? I know you are concerned for your son, but even just taking a break for a while might help calm the situation a bit. Nothing is going to change while you are there.Sorry,.

@snowy22315 Yes, I need a vacation, but I have nowhere to go, in fact I have an aunt, but they live in a very small apartment and I would not be able to stay there. My brother bought an old house near my house, and his computers are there, I often go there for a couple of hours, and do some training there and I like to rest, but my dad can come there, just to control me.

I absolutely agree with you, and I've been saying this to myself for years, but I always thought I didn't have the right to do it to my son, so I'm just waiting for my son to finish school and hopefully he will leave this house then, then I can to the street, it won't matter to me anymore.

You should buy a tent, and set it up outside, and go there to sleep sometimes, just to get out of the house and away from your father.

@Nevena83 Can you really make it that much longer? You need to get away now to protect your sanity.

@moffittjc You are right, but more important is my son's happiness.
