I have a friend whose father hates him..help?

Question

my friend always give me advices and when he told me his problem..i don't know what to say to him..only empathy..so i really need to help him..

his father behaves like a child and he always search for mistakes..to scold at them..even my friend's pay check lost, he even scold at him..why does he have to? its not his..also, they asked their mom to talk to their dad..but still, no effect..he said..don't trust our son..his dad doesn't want him to be someone..he doesn't allow him to fulfill his dreams..but he wants his son to obey what he thinks best for him..but not like for his sister..its opposite..

even they obey him..but he always search for mistakes..

i know that the problem is his dad..but what can he do? his future is now ruined because he doesn't like the course that he is taking..and he would not be successful because of that..

Answer 1

It sounds to me as though your friend is close to the age to be able to leave home.  The best thing he can do is listen to his father while he is living in his home....when he leaves home and has a home of his own he can follow any path he chooses.
