writes:I just really want to know why my father treats me like this...I have a 28 year old sister. She lives in Canada; my father talks to her everyday. I'm 14 and, unfortunately, I have to see poor excuse for a father (that's an exaggeration. I'm just pissed off right now): Every. Single. Day. God forbid, when my sister calls (all the way from Canada, mind you) crying about a stupid toothache, he sits there and talks her through it... like a toothache is the worst thing that can happen.Today, my parents got into an argument; my father threatens to leave. I break down. He says, "Stop crying," or, "there's nothing to cry about." Bulls**t. We depend on him. My mother has back problems and is an epileptic. In fact, during this ordeal she had a seizure... he just sits there saying, "She's fine. Don't worry." I've never been so tempted to hurt my father until tonight..Okay, so what if my sister hasn't really had a relationship with him. She just barely started talking to him a couple years ago. But she cries (literally) to him about EVERYTHING. And he'll drop everything to help her too. It's like, you have a family here, 'ya know? My mother has been with him for 21 years. I'm not the best daughter in world, but at least I didn't stop talking to him for 10+ years.Why does he do this to us? Reply to this Question

 Is she really his daughter or his mistress? I dont know it sounds really suspicious. And if she is his daughter, then yeah, hes trying to make up for the time they didnt talk. She sounds effed up and he does too. Support your mother the best way you can and forget about him.

 He is tryng to make up for over 10 years of silence and incomprehensions. And she lives in Canada,far away from him ,while you live with him and are always under his eyes.
Which does not justify his attitude,but in part explains it.

 I've never met the guy before but he sounds like a jerk. And that's a nice word I'm using.
Because you are 14, there's not much you can do in this situation. You can't move out and you can't verbally abuse him. But you can ignore him when he talks. If he asks why you are ignoring him, just say, "I didn't know you took any notice of what I do or think."
And say it with a hint of sarcasm. You've got to really insult him. Get a reaction out of him!
Start using a bit of cunning. And don't back down till you see a change in his attitude.
