Never mind.....

Currently cranky about my dad, pissed is more like it.
I hate his sense of humor, if you even wanna call it that. He can be so rude to my mom, he thinks he's being funny but he's just being an asshole.
Of course, my older brother is almost a replica of him and sometimes backs up my dad, well kiss ass seems to be the right term. My sister and I do our best to defend our mom but we gotta be careful since he gets really mad if we make him seem like the bad guy or if we give him too much attitude (even tho we are just returning his rude behavior)
Ugh, he makes me SO MAD

Wow.... Not to dump on your dad, but wow.

Ahh, no it's totally okay to think what you want to think.
Do I love him? Yes because despite what I said he has been a good father for the most part.
Do I respect him? NO
Used to be daddy's girl until I grew up and saw him as he truly was. He never lets us get mad, he would tell us (by us I mean my siblings and I) that no one can get mad in this house but him. This was really unhealthy for me since I always had to hold in my anger. I'd usually just shower and let it out but not too loud for him to hear.
He is a stubborn man and it's either his opinion or no one's. I've learned the hard way to speak my mind or correct him, so my sister and I let him believe what he wants. Very rarely we correct him and he's like "yeah but" and the more you disprove him, the angrier he gets.
God, it's so sad bc I really thought I had the greatest Dad ever but now, pardon my french, but now I see that he really is a dick.
Lately I've been sick of shit and have been fighting him a lot, but even I don't go too far because I don't want him to hit me, it's been forever since he has, and if he does, I'm afraid I will snap and just beat him and ugh, that would be bad...
I know this is the Cranky Corner but still, I hope these don't come off as self-pity sob stories.
I could write a whole novel called "Living with an Asshole" and just rant about my dad, but I won't!
I just think typing this out helps me relief tension. It sucks because I am like him in a way, though I try not to be. I can get angry pretty fast like him and I can be stubborn. But I'm more open-minded and have changed myself dramatically. So I'm proud of that.

It's OK sweetie, my mom'ster did her duty.
We were clean and fed.
But also tortured physically, mentally and emotionally.
I was a abused child, so when I see post like yours I'm sympathetic
. That's all.

I've never really thought of myself as abused and hesitate to use that word because it's not a term to use loosely. I don't really think I was, maybe not physically. I mean, I always assumed it was just discipline. All my siblings and I would get slapped or beat with a belt if we were misbehaving. But I don't think I would label it as abuse? I'm still not sure.
I think since my parents also did their job, I feel like they're good parents, at least my mom, but my father...well. It confuses me because my parents provided for me, but they still could be horrible? Well mainly my dad.
I hope what I say doesn't make you recall too many horrible memories, and all I can do is apologize for the fact that you were abused. However, you seemed to have gone through many things in your life and still seem strong. At least to me you do.
Thank you :)

No apologies needed. I've long out grown it.
Physical discipline isn't abuse.
Beatings for any little thing or sometimes nothing at all multiple times a day. Belts, hands, coat hangers. Being locked in closets, mocked shamed.
I'm glad yours is just a normal family dispute.
In time you'll come to terms W your dad.
I came to terms W my dad, but mom'ster still yet is bitchypooh.

Big hugs to everyone!

I for once have nothing to complain about - as I managed to pass hostess duties for Christmas off to my mum!! SCORE! :D

Yays!!!!

The last few years Christmas has been at our house --- and omg... no, I can't do that! Too stressful! D:
Mum and dad have more room at their place anyways! So better all around! ;)

I don't blame u. Not one little bit

The years it was here - there were personal reasons that it was here, but I've learned it's too draining.

Another plus, my brother, and his whole family, are driving down for Christmas! I get to see my Nephew!! :D

*it snows* *it doesn't snow on this part of town* I feel personally offended.

Well, that's snow business

I didn't know 'twas the season to be trolly.

Jolly bad puns r always in season.

They're gonna kill us for all these puns.

If they do, we'll put the fun back in funeral. ��

Good to know it won't be dead serious.

The bunch of stiffs

Yes, I think we're putting ourselves in grave danger.

I can't have caffeine when I get home from work tonight, because I have to be up early -- I have to be at work at noon tomorrow.

And then Thursday, I have to be there even EARLIER, so I have to leave at around 9:30am. ffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~

You might say you're going to be dead tired.

She needed a ghost writer for school.
