I dont know what to do anymore! UGH?
ok heres the story.
my dad lost his job in april 2005, he was a graphic artist and was making great pay. He was out of work off and on over the years, the jobs ranging from landscaper,lasermaking,brickmaking,packingproducts etc. We barely managed and still now to afford to live in our house. My mom on the otherhand was smart enough to go back to college and get her masters in special education. My dad refuses to go back to college because he claims hes too OLD. yet my mom is only 2 years younger. My mom writes his resumes and finds him jobs in the paper and online. Because my dad is such a downer and is too freaking lazy to anything now. Dont tell me I am mean here people because he has medications for depression and anger. and he even has a counselour, BUT he sometimes REFUSES to go to the counselour and take his meds simply because hes so frigging childish MY MOM HAS TO WIPE HIS LAZY BUTT ALL THE TIME. even my mom is getting sick of it. she even said she wanted and now wants to get a divorce. my dad is a misrable grumpy man now. all he does is eat watch cartoons and feel sorry forhimself. he rages off the handle and then comes back saying hes sorry. i cant stand this any longer he is driving me insane!!! before i walked out the door he just started to rave at me, i slammed the door and called him insane. when i came home today i didnt even bother saying hi. im just so fed up. my mom recalls that when i was even a toddler i said "Mommy, daddy can be such a cruel man sometimes." And that was when life was good, he still had a rare anger fit. hes turning into his dad, a grumpy negetive person no one wants to be around. my mom says she doesnt even love him anymore. and the only reaason why she hasnt got a divorce is because she doesnt want to loose the house we live in and move into a apartment.
i feel like i should just slam my face on my desk now.
my life rocks. right?
save me.
p.s im 16
if i didnt mention that
i was in 5th grade when he lost his job. and dont even say i shouldnt be worrying about this when my whole extended family talks about it. >:(
I might understand your mother being ungrateful for his supporting the family while she was smart enough to go to school while he is now ill and out of work but you on the other hand are his daughter.
I can only say that your attitude disgusts me.
You were in the fifth grade when he lost his job but the 12 years before he raised you.
How totally sickening that you have no respect.
It must really suck to be you.
You so want your mother to divorce him so you can be free of him but do not because, why, because both you and your mom do not have to move.
There are special names for women who treat their family like this.
Your mother vowed for richer for poorer and in sickness and in health.
You are his daughter and that comes naturally.
if I had to live with women like you I would be depressed as well.
What a freaking shame that he lost work and you both turn on him because it made him depressed.
I’m sure that none of this will really sink in but I thought someone had to tell you that you are
an ungrateful little pain in the butt.
You deserve to reap the same attitude from your children someday.
I fear you will not know why it has come back to you either.

This seems to be all about money issues, Where is the family support ??? Where are the family values ??? yeah let’s kick the dad in his butt because the lazy man doesn’t have money enough to keep us living in a fancy house !!! how depressing !!!
Do you work ??? Are you helping with the family bills ??? Maybe you can babysit or something huh ??? Yeah you should slam your face on you desk and back into reality !

He was angry before he lost his job. You have to understand something about a man–normally, his entire identity is wrapped up in his career. So when he loses his job, he feels as though his entire identity is gone. It’s usually very difficult in this situation for a man to be able to get up off his ass and find another job because he has such a huge bout of depression. True, he has therapists and meds to help him, but at the same time, he might not feel like that will help. He probably feels as though there is no hope whatsoever.
That still doesn’t excuse the way that he’s treating you guys, but you can either make it flow more easily or you can make it harder on yourself. It’s not easy to sit there and ignore someone when they’re chewing you out, but when you left the house, you could have left in silence instead of saying that he was insane. That’s only going to make the situation worse. I’m all for you hiding out in your room at times when it gets too difficult.
Hang in there!!!

Second off, you dad is depressed. It’s easy for you to judge from where you sit, but wait until life slaps you around for a few more decades and then you’ll maybe understand how it can happen.
also, in today’s economy there just aren’t very many jobs to be had.
Things you can do that will help are;
Show your dad some respect and a smile. It will boost his sense of self worth and increase his chances of getting moving.
Cheerfully get him to do something active with you. Try to get him to take you places. hiking, the zoo, museums, whatever. Anything to get him up moving and re-engaged with the world. You can get him moving in this direction by asking him about what interested him when he was your age. If he says he used to like to hike in some area then tell him that sounds cool and could he take you there this weekend. Stuff like that.
So if you really want to help him show him some love and respect and get him interested in life and the world again.

You also have to look at it from your dads point of view. He went from the bread winner having a steady job being able to take care of his family to the one who needs taken care of. Most men who get into that situation usually have some sort of depression or anger issues after wards. He just needs to stop feeling sorry for himself and find himself something he will love doing. Or at least be happy doing.
But again, you don’t need to stress over it. Let your mom and dad work their problems out. You are about to be starting your own life. And just take this situation as a lesson learned. Your dad is obviously going through somethings and needs yours and your moms love and support. (even though I know you don’t feel he deserves it) But hopefully life will pick up for him soon and he will be back to his old self again. Good luck
