Hey,
I'm a 15 year old boy and recently my parent's actions have been concerning me more and more recently. I've been diagnosed with depression due to anxiety and my parents like to use this against me as another ploy in their book of insults. Basically, my father has a very warped definition of "respect" that he uses as an excuse to basically treat his kids like absolute dog ********. He goes out 4 nights a week, acts like he's 19, and has 5 KIDS! You'd think a man would know the emotional undertaking it requires to have this many kids, but not this guy. He constantly calls us scumbags, pieces of ********, ungrateful faggots, etc etc. If you question him and say anything REMOTELY negative about him in anyway he flips out. Whenever I comment on how much he goes out he says that he "Doesn't owe us ********" and that I should be grateful for all the money he's spending us. I try to be grateful but money can't buy love or good parenting. He constantly abuses my younger brother who's 14 because he has bipolar disorder (thanks to my mom) and doesn't understand/care and goes ape******** on him. He thinks he can beat respect into his kids. I do everything out of fear. I have to say I love him in front of family since if I don't he'll beat me when we get home. This man is everything wrong with a dad. He is HEAVILY narcissistic/arrogant. He will not hear any of his kids out, ever, constantly saying he knows better. His arrogance gets me very pissed but I can't call him out on it since I'll just be called a scumbag ungrateful piece of ******** later. My mom doesn't even help, she AGREES with him. She is bipolar as well and fights with him just as much as we do. But whenever she is in front of him they are in love again like it's their first date, it is disturbing. He thinks we forget the ******** he pulls and that he can get away with it. It is depressing and no one should have to live like this. Just today I asked him a question along the lines of "Dad, hypothetically speaking, what if I was bisexual" He literally said to "never talk like that again" as if being bisexual is like having cancer. He also said he'd disown me, great dude right. I would rather be on the street, panhandling, sleeping in the woods. Why? Because the woods can't call you a scumbag & you can't be "ungrateful" for nature.
I want to leave as I am getting really concerned for my brother who is going to get seriously injured one day if he stays here. I don't like coming home, I try to stay in school and then go to the bookstore to pass the time because being home just gives me anxiety and an adrenaline boos I thought parents were supposed to nurture you, not you nurture them! What do I do??
