My dad keeps telling me i cant do anything right..?

Question

My dad is .. I dont know how to explain it. He is negative ALL the time about EVERYTHING. When I got out of school, i decided to go and live with dad cos he was moving from his fionce of 8 years to a home by himself so I thought id go and keep him company.

At first it was great but now hes just so negative! I have a full time job at a place that helps disabled people. We went food shopping and I forgot something and he said

"you ALWAYS forget EVERYTHING thats why your no good at your job!"

How would he know Im no good? im pretty sure if i was "no good" they would let me go!?

Im also going for an audition because Im interested in acting. Last play i was in he said i was fantastic but when I told him I'm going for a musical he said "you'll never make it."

Um... hes NEVER heard me sing and how does he know I wont?!

He tells me I cant cook for ****, I cant clean for ****, Im a pig (I'm underweight for christs sake!!) Im stupid and dumb, I wont make anything of my life, and when I got my hair dyed brown he told me it looked like someone crapped on my head and it lookd horrible..

WHAT THE h**l IS HIS PROBLEM! im not a bad person i dont do drugs I dont drink all the time I work full time Im polite and well presented to everyone but he continues to think everything I do is wrong. I cant talk to him, hes a physco.. Like nuts. One dish left on the sink and he'll smash every plate there is and yell at me until I cry and leave. I just dont know what to do. Trying to do better with everything isnt working he just picks on something else.. Argh im going insane!!

Answer 3

you need to let go of getting your dad's approval for right now. He is going through something and instead of dealing with it or who- He is blaming you making you the scape goat. My guess is the break up may be behind this but until he decides to deal with the real issue- you need to ignore what he is saying and doing. When he starts in- either say"that's your opinion and everyone is entitled to one- even if they are wrong" or state- you will continue your conversation when he can speak to you civil, you are an adult after all. But for right now- be content in knowing you are doing your job to the best of your ability and you can make it in a musical or any other thing you try.

Answer 4

my best advise is to ignore him. wat kind of da would say that. hes probably angry with himself. but if he is abusing u like that he rea;;y needs therapy. itd help a lot if u told us ur age

Answer 5

I am so sorry you are going through this. Talk to him when he is not angry. Tell him how you are feeling because of his way to treat you. This man is wrong. Now i know why his ex left him too. He needs some help because he likes to put people down. He is a frustrated person himself and he takes it on you because you are the only one  now. DON'T EVER  believe his words. Tell him that you are going to prove him wrong, and do it.Next time he offends you,look at his eyes and say " EXCUSE ME"? this may help him think that you are tired of his BS. but if you feel ready try to leave, don't let him put you down anymore.
