My sisters dad, who is like a dad to me, (mine is not around) over reacts about everything!! I have never in my life met anyone who acts as immature as he does for a 45 year old man. He honestly believes he is right all the time. My mom has not been with him for about 8 years, but they are civil with eachother. He does help us out with money and such but I can't stand him.
When I was little I was so cautious of what I would do because I was terrified of him. ( I still am scared ). One time he put his hands around my throat and said "sometimes I just want to strangle you". This was about 3 years ago, and I am still terrified looking back at that day.
He even acts like this in public: yelling, screaming and throwing a fit.
Please don't say my sister and I are bad kids, we have our moments but we really are good kids. I am kind of instable sometimes and suck at coping with hard times. One day(this hardly EVER happens) I was having a nervous breakdown, I was bawling my eyes out and he told me to shut up and leave, and stop acting like a baby. I am in therapy by the way, if that says anything about my situation..
Here is an example of how he "cries over spilt milk".
We were in Subway, I was telling the woman what I wanted on my sub. She didn't hear me so I repeated. And as I repeated I pointed to what I wanted. He then grabbed my hand and squeezed it so hard I could cry, he said "you don't need to point".
I was so scared I just nodded my head. The woman at the counter was then also terrified.
I need help with these situations. What do you think of these issues? What would you of done? I would just like your input. Thanks in advance.
