My Dad and Mom yell quite a bit.
I think I should post on a discussion site. Just because I need support. I have no one. I'm at a random country, where I was born. My parents constantly pester and yell at me. My Dad keeps trying to control me. I have a different look on what parenting is like now. and it's keeping me from parenting my child. I just guide my child and help him. But now, my sister mostly takes care of him.
My sister's in better talking terms with my Dad. I don't have a job, though I've been trying and trying. My Dad yells at me when I ask for money. I have nothing to do at home because my son just watches cheap downloads of cartoons. My sister has gotten his attention gone over to a different place.
My solution is to move out and find a job. I'm away from my home country, though. So I'm just looking for a job to reduce the number of times I have to take yellings from my Dad. He tries to help by buying things, but what's the point? He yells at me and it's making living so stressful and sad. When I tell my psychiatrist, my Dad denies it when he asks him. What I can't tolerate is how my Dad's trying to say that my son is his, just because he's supporting him. But... my Dad yells at my little son, too. I just keep having to live in difficulty. My family has severe problems. Please help.
Re: My Dad and Mom yell quite a bit.
I suggested retail or restaurants or a warehouse for you for work. Secure a job -- any job -- and get out of there, stat --- this is a toxic environment you are in and wow, if anybody dared to yell at my child they'd have hell to pay.
Get roommates and move in with them --- or see if you can find an apartment where there is already 1 or 2 people living there and where they won't mind a child coming into the equation.
Even a studio apartment will be good for you and yoru son.
Until you get a job and get out of there, you will be in this pickle you are in. For your own sake, find a job and get out of there and when you do, cut these people off. Never speak to them again.
Take back your life; tell your pig father that he is not to yell at you or your child or treat you or your child like dirt.
Is there a social worker in your town?
There must be one --- see that person --- I am sure they have one in your home country -- and tell this person what your living circumstances are and that you need to have your own place.
If you do not have custody of your child, you need to get your child removed from there. What's happening isn't good for your child. And it is not good for you either. Get some sort of a job and get out of there. GL.
