My dad drives me insane, and I don’t think I can take it anymore. That’s why I want to run away. My dad has really bad anger problems and their only getting worst as he gets older. He yells at me everyday for the smallest problems in the world. And when I say everyday, I mean everyday …..that is unless I’m with my mom but she can be too careless. And when my dad gets really mad at me he gets in my face and screams really loud as if he were the incredible hulk. Sometimes he hits me really hard on the side of my head when I piss him off. I don’t try to make my dad angry. I really don’t, and I don’t hate him. I love him even when I think I don’t love him but sometimes he makes me feel so worthless to the point where I want to kill myself. Maybe I’m being a little b¡+¢h about this but I’m really considering running away. All he does is cuss and yell at me everyday. He says he only gets mad because he cares about me and wants me to be successful to have a happy life. But I’m confused because I see lots of other kids who don’t get treated this way and they’re still successful. I see all the other kids talking and laughing with their parents about things but that doesn’t happen between me and my dad. To be honest….I’m afraid of him. That’s why I’m leaving. He’s causing too much pain for me……..should I runaway? Or should I try to hang in for 2-3 more years of this?

This isn’t even half the reasons I want to run away. He’s done more and much worst.
If u run away u can be literally charged with a crime. U can b sent to baby jail where ull deal with that several times over. I recommend u call child services. They will try to get u and ur dad help. For his anger and for the two of u to communicate.
Also at ur age, u can’t be successful on the streets. Most places don’t hire people under 18 anymore and ud b to busy hiding to hold down a job if u found one
We’ve tried communicating, that didn’t work. Plus I’m about to turn 18 in a month and a couple weeks so I guess this isn’t really running away. Guess I should’ve mentioned that in here.
And trying to hide was never an option for me. I don’t see it as hiding because once I’m 18 it’s my choice. Besides I wouldn’t try finding a job nearby or well known to my dad if I was.
Yeah, figured u to b younger with the whole 2-3 more year comment. At least finish high school. I dropped out and it sucks like way BAD. A lil more bs for now is worth getting a good start to life. Maybe u can dorm at a college. Would dad even pay for it?
And just to let you know….I would plan it out first. I’m not the kind that just runs away unprepared. I have an idea already in case I do.
At that point its all ur choice tho. Once ur 18, all that matters is u survive. And that’s hard, BTW. I’d rather b honest. Money and bills and all that sucks balls. But if ur dad us truly horrible then pick the less evil. So think, laid off, no money, no place to stay, winter (been here done that).. or ur dad.
Well then give it a go and forget my last comment. 🙂
Well he would, and trust me I’m grateful that he would. But my vision of a good life isn’t quite the same as his. I don’t want to work at an office job when I get older. I can’t stand sitting at a desk. I’ve done that for quite a while already,don’t need more. Besides I guess you can say that I’ve been abused so bad to the point where I over enjoy the small things in life now. Something as simple as talking to a stranger on the street makes me happy.
Thanks for reading, I really appreciate the feedback and I’ll think about what you said.
My mom’s similar, but it’s a more general thing. A few weeks ago she screamed so loud I thought someone was hurt. Ran down to see what was up…turned out to be something ridiculously trivial, so trivial that I don’t even remember what it was. A magnet fell off the fridge, or something absolutely retarded.
Should you run away? Only you can answer that. If you’re a minor (and I suspect you are) it probably won’t do much good because, legally, your parents are responsible for you. I’m 18, so if I wanted to, I could hit the road and nobody (legally) would be able to do jack shit about it. And, honestly, if I had money and knew how to travel on my own, I’d totally do it.
Luckily for me; my parents got divorced and I ran away (from dad) with mom. My mom doesn’t have as much as he does as far as moneywise but at least she’s not throwing things at me or screaming in my face and I’m perfectly fine living in a small apartment. I have very little space but that doesn’t matter because I’m outside most of the time doing other things. So yeah, as long as I’ve got water, food, and a shelter….I’m perfectly fine!
I made it out finally! My dad hasn’t got a single string attached to me anymore. I’m not his puppet anymore. I’m not his punching bag anymore. I’m finally free. Paying rent and bills is surprisingly easy. Or at least for me it is. I found some good apartments. I’ll trade abuse for bills any day. I’m happier these days than I’ve ever been in my life. I’m making dramatic improvements every day. Its okay because i value my connections and relationships with people more than materialistic things. You can live in a mansion and still be the saddest/depressed/angriest version of yourself. Money can’t buy meaningful relationships. I gave up my dads car and his insurance and I’m doing just fine….better than fine actually.
