Confrontation


Never have had a good relationship with my dad, to be quite frank he scares me most of the time. (and I have a right to be scared... trust me)

He yeah, not a christian.. and well he thinks the church I go to has brainwashed me. I have heard him say it numerous times. There are comments he makes about me, in front of me to his friends and mine. How I am too religious for this, or I am not obsessed with boys (what is the point if there is already one set out for me?) so therefore I am going to become a nun.. just constantly I get those coments or usually worse. In my own home. And they have always been annoying. but they are starting to get more personal. and I am just sick of them. and I want it to just stop!!!! Or else I am going to blow up on someone (and they will just be an innocent bystandard)

My question is. What do I do? How do I confront him? He literally scares me when I talk to him. and if a write a note he will show it to every one in the whole world. (and no doubt turn it inot another "holier though art.." comment about me.) emoticon

Re: Confrontation


This is a very difficult position you are in.
Sadly as long as you live in your fathers home, you a required to obey him. I am sorry to hear that he is so negative about your faith in God. Can you talk to him personally about it (without others around)? To let him now that it hurts you that he cannot accept your choice to believe in Christ. It might help to let him know that you love him and respect his position as your father.
It could be that he feels threatened by your faith (but I certainly wouldn't bring that issue up with him).

Short of that, all you probably can do is ride out the storm until you can move out.
I will be praying for you sister.

Re: Confrontation


Wow, that sounds like a horrible situation to be in. I can't really add any advice to what Brite already said.
But I will definately be adding prayers!
