writes:hi, my parents fight a lot. My dad has a drinking problem and my mom has a crazy work schedule. When shes not home, i find myself making the meals and cleaning up after him. My dad treats us like crap. i cant remember a day without any of us fighting. Or even giving my mom a kiss, hell, him giving me a kiss on the cheek. Hes not abusive in any way, just a super mean jerk. All he cares about is food, beer, and sports. Last year me and my mom thought he was cheating because he would come home later on fridays and run into his bedroom with some nice clothes on. we think it stopped but who knows, now i think he has a gambling problem. oh and he never says good things about me. hes always talking about my pimples when i have breakouts, or my greasing hair if i havent showered in a day or two. But when i worked really hard (and he knew it!!) to burn off a lot of fat this spring to wear a new bathing suit (i lost 20 pounds) and instead of saying, "you look great honey", or something like that, he said, "well, maybe we should cut down on the candy and start to jog every once in a while", and for our summer camping trip by the lake this past june, i wore nothing but cover ups and baggy shirts because of what he said to me. and you know what i wanted to say back to him, "maybe we should cut down on the beer fat ass!!" please can someone help me and tell me what to do before i burst??
