How to stand up to my dad?

Question

Ok so my dad doesn't abuse me but whenever i do something wrong he makes me feel worthless. I already know I am i don't need his constant reminder.

Well this summer I've been staying with a friend and he let me take his labtop. One of the keys broke off and the screen is messed up. Idk how to tell him or how to face him. I really don't want to hear his lecture on how worthless I am but i can't hide it.

Any tips on what to do? Maybe how to talk to him? Idk >.<

Answer 1

Have you ever just told your dad how he makes you feel by the things he says to you, I would wait until your dad is alone and speak to him then, Just walk up and say to him that you feel you two need to speak don&#039;t get accusing or go attacking him, just be calm and try to express whats really going on inside your mind.

Answer 2

no dad should treat there kid like that. but you should go up to him and tell him straight but dont get overexcited just tell him how him treating you like that effects your life and that you are afraid to tell him things cause of the way he makes you feel eventually kinda ease the laptop situation into the conversation and say something like i can pay you back for the damages and if he starts lecturing you just walk away and stick up for yourself because you deserve better.       good luck.

omg i feel sorry for u cuz i know how to put keys back on laptops my baby brother once was alone in the living room while everybody else was in my room. and my parents went to a  new york for a week and we were left with my grandma. and luckaly one of my big bros friends fixed it before they got home!!! and he taught me. but if he really loves u then he wouldnt make u pay him back.u should just say dad i am really sorry but while i was at my friends house one of the keys came off but that can get fixed and the screen can get fixed too at circuit city. And something like that.but u should like tell him that u arent worthless cuz u raised me. And i care about u and there is no one that can be like u! or something like that. and maybe get a job if u can that way u can buy ur own stuff and so he wont give u the lecture. good luck!

Answer 5

Try to remind him of times when he messed up so he wont be harsh on you.  Or if he made a promise to you that he didn&#039;t keep.  Tell him im sorry I am not perfect but you making me feel worthless isn&#039;t helping.

Answer 6

its definatly important to stand up to him but just realize sometimes people just don&#039;t understand how much they&#039;re hurting you no matter how much you try to explain
