Human irrationality has some suggestions:
1) Kill the rat-bastard. 2) Run away from home. 3) Kill yourself.
Those are all bad ideas.
One thing that worked well for me was wearing headphones and constantly listening to music so I could ignore all the tension and arguments. This is hard on your batteries and is only building a temporary wall, but it's better than nothing.
Have you tried talking to him about it? I don't think he's actually that crazy that he wouldn't listen to you.
Although that whole ninjutsu thing is a bit freaky.
I am still sorry but here is some more - also I am not God but I can still help maybegowskDecember 17 2004, 10:01:31 UTC
Actually, there is one other thing that worked for me - not caring. Not caring is a valuable skill as you leave school and go on to work at a crappy job until you have enough money for university or travelling or whatever you want to do and then GO FOR IT like you have nothing to lose. If you let it bother you, he's won. Just ignore him; he seems to have no idea how to interact with people anymore and has retarded back to being the bully that always picked on him in middle school.
Hanging out with people who care about you is great too - having good friends is a big plus in developing the self-esteem you need to deal with a crappy home life. Please don't grow up to be insecure and paranoid like Richard okay? Thanks!
i know how you feelcarrie_lynnDecember 27 2004, 04:31:56 UTC
hey i read your journal and i just thought to myself that this is how i used to feel always. my dad did the same to me and my mom and he still always picks fights with me on subjects that he knows that i care about. he moved out and now he comes whenever he wants to and i just dont know what to do. i just want you to know tha tyou can get through this just pray without ceasing because that is what i did and i relied on my friends and they were so amazing and helpful and i really miss them and i miss their support but God has showed me that i can get through this because he has made me strong in him. i have been slacking so much lately in devos and prayer and life has just gotten harder i know it is hard to do but just stay constant and lean on him so much. i want you to know tha ti am praying for you and your dad and that i love you so much even if i dont talk to you very often. you are a great person and God has an amazing plan for your life. you have so many great qualities and God will use these trials to strengthen you. you are

Thanks so much for your little comment thinger. I really appreciated it, it makes me feel soooo much less alone in this big problem I've got going on here. Thanks so much. I took your advice and turned right to God, and it's been helping. Thanks for your prayer, I need it now more than ever! Love you!
