My dad is really scary?

Question

My dad is a cop and whenever I am in trouble, he always grabs me and makes me sit down while he stands and yells at me. He never lets me talk or explain myself, he just always says that I smartmouth him and threatens me that he'll whip me. I CAN'T STAND IT!!!

I hate that he acts like a cop when he is with me and interrogates me like a criminal. I'm a 16 year old girl and I can't get away with anything or do anything that I want.

Whenever I try to sit down and talk calmly with him he just gets mad again and lists off everything I've done wrong in the past, starts yelling and interrogating again.

WHat can I do to convince him to stop treating me like that?? I am so sick of it!

Answer 1

hmm

actually

thats pretty abusive

if ur dad is repeatedly scares u and threatens to whip you thats illegal

u can call dss

Answer 2

for 1 thing, where i live it is actually illegal to 'whip' your child!

Answer 3

A very interesting thing my mom found out working as a computer technician at a police department about 8 years ago is that they don't want anyone who is too smart to be a police officer. In other words: you're dad and his colleagues aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.

He deals with the bottom scum of society, and they all explain to him what they did. It gets tiring after a while. Write down your side of what happened next time and tell him: "Before or after you yell at me and threaten me, could you read this? If I'm going to be interrogated, I at least deserve to be given time to explain my opinion of what happened. I'm not a criminal. I'm your daughter."

If that doesn't help, talk to a neighbor, teacher, or any othe adult you trust. And if worst comes to worst, contact Child Protective Services.

Answer 6

I would be getting a job and saving so I can move out when I turn 18. Sorry that you have to go through that.

Answer 7

he probably doesnt know any other way to discipline you.  my parents always used to tell me that i "didnt come with a manual."  which annoys me, but i suppose is true.  

maybe try telling your mother how you feel, and see if she can talk to your pops about it, so that he will chill and listen to you more.

Answer 8

Wow.  What does your mom do?  If you cannot speak directly to your dad about it, can your mom?

How old are you?

I'll bet he remembers everything he did as a kid and his dad was probably the same way. No excuse.

Watch for abusive behaviors. If you are scared, call for help.
