No offense to the people that say “it’ll get better” or “it gets better” but I had it happen to me a few hours ago and my day has gotten much worse.
My alcoholic asshole father comes into my room starting shit and suddenly he notices my window open. He sees black stuff in it. Turns out it’s black mold (apparently). He rushes me out of the room and then argues with mom about it. They honestly blamed that on my depression <sarcasm> yes I’ve totally had that mold FOR 7 FUCKING YEARS!</sarcasm> 10 minutes of stupid shit later, I stay in another room. Dad comes in and was looking for money. I didn’t know because I had my earphones in at the time. So he then waves at me to try to get my attention. I look and he just says “never mind, you never listen anyway.” and leaves. I put my headphones in again. Once again he returns. Does the same exact fucking thing.
Here’s where it gets really exciting. I give him an attitude because he did the same to me. He then gets into my face and says “Do that again and I’ll punch you in the fucking face!” I kinda scoff at it and just tell him that he’s acting like a child. He then mentions that he could just shoot me. I told him that I welcome death. He returns with his shotgun and points it in my face. I take it by the barrel and jerk it downward, out of my face. He kept trying to aim it at me. Of course I keep reminding him that he’s acting like a fucking idiot. Come to find out, it wasn’t loaded. “What if it was loaded?” he said. “Well I’d probably be more pissed off” is what I said. He returns with it loaded. The same thing happens that did earlier. I know one thing, I’ll be DAMNED if I let him kill me off. He then leaves the room and brags to his friend about it. I hate these people.
In short, I need to get the fuck out of here as fast as possible. Not possible to stay with the grandparents either because they’d also drive me up a fucking wall. Yes, it truly does get better and sometimes it is just that fast.

well that seems like hell…i’m quite glad that you weren’t shot… your father needs to back off and grow up…
i’m with you on the run away thing… if you and i can makea list of things 2 bring or somethin that’d b great
Woah, how awful! How old are you? Will you be able to legally leave home soon, or will you just have to run away?
Call child protective services and get your father put in jail. I had to visit my father when I was a kid; he was always drunk and yelling at me (he was a psychotic gun nut, also). I’m not going to tell you to shoot him, but if he is making you depressed, don’t think about killing yourself if you enjoy life outside of your house (outside of the abusive relationship with your father).
Also, slain eagle, your name is rad.
forgot to say that I’m about to turn 20
Oh, slain eagle, you have skype by chance?
Call the police right now. That’s sick. It may not help you with your depression, but it’ll make the world a better place if shotgun-wielding assholes are locked up. I’m serious. For the sake of the next person he might kill, please have him put away.
Sometimes it takes years to get better but i made it threw four suicide attempts lost everything i had my car house family friends everything it took about 6- 8 years but now they are starting to look up!!!! So dont stop believein……………hold on to that feeeeeling LOL sorry im in a goofy mood today. Too much xanax last night and too much coffee this morning at work! But trust me i made it threw the worst years of my life and now im starting to get my happiness back a little at a time.
If your 20 u can leave!
Is he your real father?
Who in the hell would brag to there friends about almost killing their son!?!?
That’s a crazy environment to be around,no wonder ur depressed.
You sound like you want better life for yourself than that.I guess it’s a matter of getting some money and somewhere else to live which ain’t easy unless you’ve got a job
agreed with noom.
Well, I’m trying to get a job and I attended college for a few terms. I really hope to get a job and save enough money to have the car fixed up and get a place of my own. Unfortunately I have yet to get my license. He is my real father too, though sometimes I wonder how the hell we could even be remotely related. I would call the cops but then he’d probably end up staying home anyway. One time there was a physical fight and I told mom to make the cops take him to jail or whatever. She gets him to stay. I was pissed. Thanks for all the feedback everyone, I didn’t expect this one to become so popular.
I understand how things are. While it’s easy to sit at your computer and tell someone that they could do such and such, it’s tough when you’re actually the one facing the problems. In situations like yours, it seems like there are so many impossible obsticles that you will never be able to overcome them. Please, keep trying and don’t give up yet. Do whatever you can to survive living there and then get out as soon as you can! Could you work somewhere close by until you raise enough money to get a place of your own? Perhaps a nearby gas station or grocery store that you could walk to so you wouldn’t have to drive?
I am looking for nearby stores. I don’t exactly want to work at a gas station because I live in a rather bad neighborhood. They tend to get robbed a bit. If it does come down to it, I can always try.
Then the gas station does sound like it should be last resort. Does your father live with you all the time or does he just drift in and out?
Always lived with us. Don’t really know why though, heh.
