a simple teenager

I have a soft spot for Ireland, my dad was born in Dublin, so I understand the anger issues…1st time I was there it was like home. You can email me if you like – pauld891 at g mail dot com. You’re not going to self harm cause I get the sense you like yourself which is a very good thing. You’re sensitive which is also a brilliant thing but having to deal with your folks is hurting you cause you feel it a lot more intensely than most people.
This is important for you to know. If you’re not okay inside, doing anything is bonkers so don’t add any more pressure to yourself given your studies. It’s important to be as realistic as you can with respect to your situation and look after YOU. You are the most important person, and everyone else can go fly a kite.

I’d suggest educating yourself a bit about dysfunctional families. There’s tons..I came from one so I know. If you want, like I said email me, and I’ll make a couple more suggestions. We tend to attract what we know…you’re dad has anger stuff, so you attracted a gf with similar issues…it’s how it goes. Take it easy on yourself because you have enough going on outside of you. Nothing is more important than that you feel good…and when you decide that within yourself, you will feel some inner strength kick in and momentum will build and you’ll feel better, bit by bit….you just have to choose that’s the direction you want to go in and your external circumstances do not dictate how you will feel about yourself or your life. Follow this…it will help. Good luck!

@caucajun32, so many people have said to me I can’t imagine experiencing that…etc. I can’t imagine being in your shoes and have the strength to continue as you do…Prayers and good vibes to you brother.
