My mother is alright, someone I can talk to, but my dad is just so annoying, to be polite. He flies into sudden rages of temper so suddenly I can't even begin to detect his mood, shouts, kicks holes in the wall, and just generally calls me every name undere the sun. My little brother too. For example, I had breakfast today and spilt a bit of milk, so he roared the roof down and yelled that I was "Just going to leave it there you lazy slut". I hate him most of the time but then, sometimes he's okay. both my parents screwed up their lives and pressure me not to, so I just want to walk out on them sometimes, y'know? But since I'm only 15, the best I can do is head up to my bedroom...I'm not allowed to slam the door or else I'll get shouted at and maybe slapped. I wish he'd just make an effort to be civil and not swear so much! It really makes me feel awkward when i have my friends over to stay and I try to make sure he's at university or his friend's house, but he finished uni last summer and is at home nearly all the time looking for jobs! The pressure is getting him stressed and of course that only serves to stoke his temper! I spend most of the time up in my bedroom reading or playing the computer, now, 'cause my local area is crammed full of townies so you can't go out without being shot with an air gun or whatever.
It's driving me nuts.

I know the feeling Kaltia, but I guess I'm lucky in the way that my dad doesn't hit me anymore. Mainly cause I can hit back now. There is no excuss for a man hitting his daughter. I for one, would not lay a fingure on a girl. It bullying pure and simple. I'm the same way with my friends as you are with yours, but he normally doesn't say anything when my friends are over. I'm just worried about if he did say something, what would it be? I also just play my computer and read. When I do see my friends I normally go to their house or wak around the village with Joe. We're kind of lucky, we only get accosted in the street every once in a while, due to the fact that the townies have got over Joe being a Goth and me dressing in black.
Even though you're not that much younger than me its still harder, less freedom ect.
I think the worce thing for me is that I work in the BBs and have helped one of my boys through a problem with his parents. I could really relate to him, but I though I could help solve his problem cause I could solve my problem.
What I've learned, just in the last few days is, don't let it drive you nuts. If you or anyone would like to talk about this in more depth your more than welcome to email me (nails_the_git@hotmail.com) or PM me about it. I have limited training as a youth counciller, but apart from that it helps to talk about things.
