My family has been pretty disfunctional
since I can remember, many nights of
Alcohol induced anger ensued over years.
My mother has alot of childhood issues,
when she drinks she releases the demons
and turns into a totally different person.
her face changes and her tone and the
things she says are all wrong, she starts
arguments and has to be right all the
time, and often plays strange little mind
games, the next morning its all apologies
and hugs from every direction.
My father also has his share of childhood
issues, and he runs a big business, he has
alot of stress on his plate, and in turn
he has little patience. He tries to keep
composure, but too many times I've seen
him lose his cool because of alcohol or a
hangover. hes very inactive and has alot
of paranoia. I didnt spend alot of time
with him growing up. and I didnt really
learn much from him in the regards of
mechanics and so forth, because he knew
nothing. He forced me to do Navy Cadets
for years, and the only time we would
interact would be thru cadets. and It was
never positive, I was always doing it
something up or being useless in his eyes.
He grew extremely aggressive towards me as
a teenager, blaming me for things i wasnt
even doing wrong. I saw my older sister go
thru the same as a teen, she dealt with it
thru hostility, I decided I wouldnt follow
her path, but I eventually walked that
path when I hit 17.
Mum used to get extremely drunk with dad,
and then she'd wire him up. hed lose his
cool and take it out on us, physically and
verbally. he was a rather intimidating
figure and used to threaten us with all
sorts of things. He often told me I was
going to be nothing more than a ditch
digger or a till pusher, and He hated the
fact I listened to heavy metal. He often
threw my Posters or Band Tshirts away
because they annoyed him. he had a strange
fixation on me being a drug user, I wasnt
at the time, but I decided Id do them just
to piss him off.
It got to the point where I stopped caring
about everything, my parents marriage was
on its last legs, and one night i decided
Id stand up to their caca, this ended with
me being kicked out and chased down the
street. I could hear my dad screaming my
name followed by threats whilst i hid in
my neighbours yard. frightening.
anyhow a week or so later I moved back in,
and was told I was nothing more than a
loser, drop kick and etc so forth by my
father, and that he didnt want anything to
do with me, but i was still allowed to
live under his roof.
I will continue this later, I dont really
feel like talking about ALL of IT just
now. but this place looks like a good
place to vent.

That is NOT a good invironment for you. If
you have any where you can go, get mving.
This could eventually turn out abusive and
you do not want that. Please take so self
control now and leave them for good. I
know you love them as parents but, hate
what they are doing. And believe me, they
know that too.
I wish you the best from someone who has
been there.
