I'm not perfect. I've screwed up...repeatedly in some cases, and now I'm paying the consequences with the parents - Dad in particular. However, there's a huge difference between tough love and being plain old mean. And he's being mean.
Dad and I have always butted heads. We both have strong personalities and are very much alike. I get that I'm living under their roof - I'm doing everything in my power to find a job! But it seems like he's just looking for things to pick on me about. He told me tonight that the dishwasher was done and then yelled at me 20 minutes later because I hadn't unloaded it. The dishwasher takes like 45 minutes to cool off, and he never communicated what he wanted. He assumes that people know what he wants, and it's frustrating. He's being rude and spiteful and he's mocking....it sucks. I need to get out of this place, but I need to get a stinking job first. Everyone's dragging their feet around here, it sucks.
*EDIT* so mom calls asking if dad was home. As far as I knew, they were heading out to go have dinner with friends, so I was kind of surprised. He evidently got out of the car and started walking home. My guess is that she was trying to talk some sense into him in the car and he didn't like it...or something.
I NEED out of this place! It was like this when I was growing up, and I hated it. I thought this was all behind me, I guess it isn't. My relationship with my parents is fine when I'm not at home, but it turns into this when I do. I just....can't live at home. I need out!!!!!
