My dad is starting to scare me.

Post Reply New Topic

My dad told my mother that I told him to "shut up" when he sat down, which I didn't. I didn't say anything at all. And he was yelling at me really intensely for something I didn't do and I'm really starting to get freaked out by this. I really don't know what to do.

It's not the first time he's done something like this - he's been doing it for the past few weeks and blaming me for things I haven't said [though at this point am certainly thinking].

any reason why he might be so angry?

could your dad be having a psychotic episode? really think you did these things? or does he have a history of being dishonest?

You don't want my advice.

I would say "Listen here, I didn't do one d*amn thing to you, so you need to chill out and get off me. I also didn't tell you to shut up but I probably should have. If you can't talk to me like a human being, don't talk to me at all."

I'm an adult and my father is not allowed in my house so I guess I have some experience with setting boundaries with unhealthy/unsafe parents.
If I were you I would make sure that it is "Safe" (that included emotionally) before confronting your father especailly if you live with him.
If your father is an authority figure in your house then I'm guessing telling him the truth will just add fuel to the fire and may lead to him lashing out against you again.
I would recommend finding a safe, non-enabling adult to talk to, possibly a therapist or a school counselor.
I might try your mom first; however, it may be too personal and she might not be able to psychologically cope with it so be prepared for her to not believe you and find another adult who will support you and find the rescources you need.
I'm not sure what to tell you beyond that some parents have unhealthy behavior patterns that become worse...like my father. Sometime, people can become triggered into mental illness and it suddenly appears.
It would take a trained professional to know the situation.
Stay emotionally and physically safe and my thoughts are with you.
Hope that helped.
