Is my dad creepy or am I overreacting?
I am 18 years old and when I am in the car alone with him, he acts really creepy. For example, he forces me to kiss him on the cheek. When he picked me up from school today, he said, "hey babe". When he is with me alone, he gets a erection and makes sex noises around me. He also if guys were hitting on me. Is this inappropriate behavior for my dad to be acting this way? He has acted like this ever since I turned 18. Why is he acting like this?
My dad overreacts to everything!?
So i was at my best friend Tiffany's house yesterday and today my friend Marie and I were just going to hang out outside today if my dad said okay.So he plays this game on his computer called like Rome or something.He hates it when people talk to him while he's playing it.So I walked in his den while he was playing his game and he started freaking out!He was like,"What?Oh God Damn it what do you want?No.The answer is no!" I was like,"What the?I didn't say anything!"Then I just left.And the problem is he does that no matter what he's doing!I'm sick and tired of it!And you know what?It's happened so much that I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!What should I do?I've tried talking to him but he won't listen and he just yells some more!Oh and he has high blood pressure and wonders why.I'm getting really mad now.What should I do??
Why does my dad overreact over nothing?
My dad always overreacts and tells for no reason. For example just now he wasn't yelling at me cause I called Walmart and asked if I could return something but apparently I shouldnt have asked that and then he was yelling at me telling me why I dont listen and did it wrong and everything. He gets so mad at me, to the point where I'm bawling my eyes out and he doesn't even care and just complains and talks bad about me to my sister (we don't talk, she's dead to me) even if me and my mom try to explain that he was wrong and everything he won't accept it and thinks he's right. Why does he do this and how can I get him to stop and understand me?
My dad is cheating on my mom. Am I overreacting?
My dad is almost 60 and knowing that he's been cheating on my mom for a couple months sickens me to the core. I don't want to see his face, hear his voice, or even acknowledge his existence. It was not physical cheating but more emotional although they had been exchanging sexts. I'm in my twenties and my friends tell me that I'm over reacting and that I should just let my parents resolve their issues by themselves. But, I hate seeing my mom so hurt and knowing that my dad would essentially give up his family makes me sick. He even went so far as to use me as an excuse and planned on using my sister's engagement/ceremonial wedding to meet up with the woman. I have essentially all but removed him from my life. I usually go home a couple of times a month but I don't think I have the stomach or the rationality to do so until he moves out of the house. I'm going back home this weekend to go dress shopping with my sister and to avoid him, will be staying over at my friend's house instead. The thing is, my dad has a lot of faults and I recognize that. He and I have never been close but I at least respected him. I respected that he obviously cared deeply about my mom and was a father figure to us. But, now that he's broken my trust, I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive him, or see him in the same light again. I'm usually a rational person and a part of me recognizes that there were probably issues in the marriage that led my dad to seek emotional closeness somewhere else but I still can't accept that deep down. I feel as if my entire life has been rocked to the core and I honestly no longer trust men. My grandfather cheated on my grandmother and it's been clear that he prefers his girlfriend's children over his own. He doesn't even remember my name or who I am yet treats his girlfriend's grandchildren (not his own) as gold. I guess I'm just afraid of that happening. Am I overreacting?
Is my friends dad a pervert or am I overreacting?
I am 17 and his daugher is 17 also. She's my good friend and she still calls her dad daddy and when she says it she says it in a whiney sexual voice. I told my dad and my dad said no girl over the age of four should ever call her dad "daddy" and he calls her baby. My mom agrees that's weird..and whenever she wears short shorts around the house he comments on how toned her butt is or how good she looks in shorts ect. He also has a 14 year old daughter and he offering them to come sit on his lap and he always touches her arms and thighs. Last night our families got together at her house and we went over for dinner/to watch the baseball game on tv and his daugher (my friend who's 17) was sitting on his lap and his hands were on her hips. He's always staring at my boobs, my moms boobs, my sisters boobs and my dad confronted him about it at the table and he acted like he didn't know what was going on. We left and his wife came over and I told her that my family no longer wants to interact with theirs because the dad is such a pervert and she got mad. But I wasn't going to lie. I'm a pretty straight forward person and my parents think that their family is weird. The dad then came over and apologized. Idk I feel like the mom is in denial about everything. I don't want my younger sisters being around him and I sure don't want to. Would you consider his behavior normal?
Boyfriend told me to get over it? Am I overreacting?
My dad was in the hospital (icu ward) after a botched heart surgery. About a week after the surgery we were still waiting on the outcome, hoping for any good news even though the doctor told us to expect the worst. Well I as at my boyfriends house and he had the nerve to tell me to get over it and that my dad deserved to die because he was abusive and if he hadn't ended up in the icu he would have put him there himself. I figured he said that because my dad was very strict when I was younger and because I noticeably gained weight and cried often, but how could I just get over it considering he wasn't even dead yet? He knew I had been to the icu several times with my mom and that I was trying to be hopeful about the neurologists 2nd opinion. After I confronted what he said to me he tried to have sex with me and I felt so torn up inside. We broke up about 9 months after my dad died because I was suffering from depression and my bf complained that I didnt party enough with him and his friends. He had told me maybe we would get back together, he didnt know and he had said he wanted to be friends eventually and we did no contact for basically a year. Fastforward to now, I still get upset over what happened to my dad. My ex and I dated for 2 years and we have been broken up for a little bit over 1 year. Sometimes he will randomly text me but I dont know if he just wants me back bc i lost the weight and am not depressed anymore. I know i cried alot when my father passed away and i didnt act normal but now im doing better and im doing well in school, just got a new car and am finishing up college. Guys find me attractive and I did treat my ex well despite what i was going thru at that time bc i took him out on dates and did nice things for him. He wants to see me in may, what should i do? He had always said when i was going thru the grieving process maybe it wasnt the right time and i just dont know how to feel about all this.
Am I overreacting? My dad made a sexist comment?
So, my dad works from home; and my mom just got home from work. He said, "ok now that your home you cook dinner", and I asked him why he didn't when he was home all day. He said "because it is a women's job", jokingly because he knows how much it bothers me. I dont think its anything to joke about personally, becaus it s still very much an issue. You wouldnt joke about rape would you? Also my dad usually cooks, and is best at it and enjoys it. Anyways I still got very upset with him. I would consider myself a feminist, and it makes me so mad that he would say that. And then he told me I was overreacting, and "to get used to it because it will happen a lot when I get a job". WTF? I personally don't think I overreacted but I'd like another opinion.
Is my dad being inappropriate, or am I overreacting/ How can I fix my relationship with my dad?
When I was 12, I remember watching shows like Law and Order: SVU that featured fathers molesting their daughters, and then I watched 1 movie with father/daughter relationships, and I don't know what happened, but it turned my world upside down. I remember having a mental breakdown because I was convinced that I was attracted to my own father (gross). For a week straight, my heart beat really fast and I had to look in the mirror and say, "You're normal, this isn't real." and I avoided my dad like the plague. For years, it was constantly on my mind. I had these obsessive sexual thoughts and it destroyed my relationship with my father (who had never done anything to me). It eventually led to my depression. I could no longer kiss my dad on the cheek, I can't watch anything with sex scenes while he's in the room, I can't even hug him. Now, I'm 20, and I went off to college. I'm back for the summer, but my dad sometimes says inappropriate things. Like today, I was watching a show on adult swim (on CN network), and he saw the logo and assumed I was watching porn & said, "stop watching dirty movies and playing with yourself!" It made me sick. I went off on him. Now I'm on the verge of tears because all I want is a normal relationship with my father. Sometimes, it gets so bad that I wish my dad would just die so I didn't have to deal with it. I don't even want children because I'm afraid of this happening. So, is my dad being inappropriate, or am I out of my mind
Why does my dad overreact to every simple thing?
There is a problem in the very deep structure of your relationship with your dad that needs to be addressed. Expectations of life, culture etc. do not match?I have similar issues that have gone on - unspoken - with relatives dating back 40 years - not good.If you can, find a mediator. There used to be a government run charity called “relate” in the UK that tried to heal this sort of rift in families.Or try talking in a friendly voice about the problem without aggression or one-upmanship.These things build up as a matter of ego and pride and not one party backs down. We both sides feel agrieved and possibly because of the use of condescending voice tone. Never treat another human with outright contempt -especially family. Saying “sorry” is the hardest thing but soooo worth it.It is good to acknowledge that - in some respect your dad is right and that his views are at least half founded… but point out that you must be allowed your own methods to achieve a good solution that fits both of you.It is also worth noting that inside a family home -that you possibly both subconsciously regard as a safe haven where troubles should not enter - there is a very touchy possibility of each triggering the other’s rage irrationally in a “fight-or-flight” scenario… Battles away from home you can handle losing as you still ahve that safe haven to go to… but at home if you both think you ought to feel relaxed there - you will fight like demons not to be undermined in that space.If your father is the sort of person that is intelligent and knows the need to compromise, you can start to build a better future. If he is foolish and stubborn, he will not take the opportunity and may double up - but the ball and impetus to improve will be in your court. You may have to quietly work your way out of his house and find independence… this is done better slowly and not rushed into as many youngsters find themselves in deeper trouble if they run away too soon (think Naomi Watts and 3 T Rex’s… after 1 Kong).
Is my dad emotionally abusing my mom, or am I overreacting? Help please.?
Your Dad and Mom have problems. I think your family needs counseling. It is wrong to physically, emotionally, or verbally abuse your partner and your children. Usually, people that participate in this type of behavior ? They think they are right and everyone else is wrong. If he won't go, you can go without him. Peace.
