Starting and picking fights with me. Calling me names. I tried to work so I could get out the house but i lost the job bc my baby sitter and baby got sick at the same time. And now I have my door closed and my dad is still talking about me. Im experiencing ppd and this is making it worse. I cant "talk" to my dad. He doesn't think he's wrong at all. I just hate this bc theres like no escape. And its breaking me down badly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day at a time. It worked for me... "This is the day which the LORD hath made; (I will) rejoice and be glad in it" Pray for your dad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not be something you especially want to do but you could also look at it as an opportunity to show forgiveness and pray for him. Forgiveness doesn't mean being a doormat or necessarily going out of your way to associate with him. Other than that, hang on tight to the hope that the quarantine is coming to a close soon. We probably won't feel much improvement until summer/fall given the usual speed of government operations but it's something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be handled without tension, its by choice. By asking for guidance from the Almighty. Its saddening what people are going thru these days. Try looking inside and this will soon pass and just be a memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said not too long ago he called up his brother starting an argument with him out of nowhere and when his brother started getting angry he smiled and told him to calm down and conduct himself like an adult. Im not sure what the term is fot this behavior but my dad likes getting a rise out of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stepdad makes my moms home the same way so I know how you feel. Unfortunately the solution is not an easy one. The only thing I could do was move out on my own and just visit my mom. I know it’s not easy or may seem impossible to do with the way things cost. I find being in dark spaces is more bearable if I can see light at the end of the tunnel such as applying to places to move or attending school or some sort of class that will get me a job where I can afford to move. Moving out was the only answer for me . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can start working regularly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
