You both need to sit down with a counselor. A neutral third party will help sort it out.

Sounds like your dad has issues for real.But there is nothing you can really do except accept that he is the parent and you are the child.Sometimes parents really mess up.But you can sit him down and talk to him about how it makes you feel.Maybe his love for you will make the difference.If not make him stop,maybe at least make him take it in another room so you won't be exposed.

Try going to Mediation.  You can find one near you in the phone book (many communities have free services even).  If you call the office yourself they will contact your family for you and explain how it works.\nHow it works:\nYou and your mom (and dad or sister or whoever needs to be there) will go to a little meeting with the mediatior.  The mediators job is to make sure everyone gets a chance to be heard and that you all deal with the issues you think you need to talk about. At the end you will all (hopefully, but it doesn't always happen) sign an agreement on how you want things to be in the future but you don't have to agree if you don't want to.  It's just a safe, neutral place that you all get a chance to get everything out and really hear each other.\nGood luck!\nAnd remember your parents love you.

find someplace "neutral" and private such as... take him for a drive and go for a walk in the park, on the beach, a hike in the forest.... somewhere peaceful you can talk without having to just stare at eachother (like at the dinner table). \n\nthis will be hard for him so somewhere with some solitude where can "take it all in" in peace and privacy while being physically active like walking will help him through the moment. \n\nalso if he gets angry, yells, walks away to cool off, cries, hugs you, tells he loves you.... whatever... he can do it at his own pace. \n\ntell him directly, don't beat around the bush... men relate to directness and franknes... then let him take it from there... even if he doesn't say anything at first... let him take it in and go from there. \n\nhe's your dad, he loves you\ngood luck

You need to tell your dad that work is work and home is home and that they need to be kept seperate. That you want to be treated like all the other workers (if there are any) and that when you are at work you will treat him like he is your boss and not your dad. As soon as you both leave for the day then resume the father/son relationship. \n\nIf he is a decent man he will understand this.

Talk to him or have his dad or another male in the family talk to him about his anger issues.  If something has happened in his life he might have pent up rage/anger and once in a while it comes out.  Either way, he needs to know that keeping emotions in isn't good and that whatever is making him angry needs to be dealt with.\nIf he continues to have this problem but won't talk to anyone about it, you should consider getting him into counseling.

Its family, There will always be conflict, thats just the way it is.\nTalk to the person about it. if that doesnt help, then try your parents or an adult you can trust. they will help you solve this problem.

just try to creat some small talk about things at home, neighbourhood etc. if he's mad, and you are at fault probably you should apologise. sometimes even its not completely your fault also probably you need to apologies as well. all dads are quite alike, they just want the attention and respect when they come to that age regardless of whether they really deserve it or not.\nif all your effort goes down the drain, let him cool off and try again another day.

If your husband and son are in constant conflict with each other, you must take it upon yourself to mediate their conflict.  If they cannot stay in one room without wanting to strangle each other, then separate them when you are talking about an issue that is on the table.  You must try as much as possible to speak using neutral language - remember, you are not currying favors or siding with any one of them, you are being a medium for more effective communication between the two. Find out what are the underlying issues (emotional and otherwise) are for each other and convey that to them.  Surely, you will be able to reach a compromise.

Your not a horrible person, I know this because my mom and step dad fight about the same thing. There is still hope for your relationship and not to worry about a thing for a bit. Things will brighten up soon.

Sounds like your dad needs to grow up.

You two need to stay apart.  You're like gasoline and fire.  It happens.  If you were 5 year olds, your parents would separate you.  Now you're adults, so separate yourselves and move on.

Hello Cooldure\n\nIt sounds like things are kind of tough on you these days. Are you the oldest child in the family? How long has your Mom been gone? Does your Dad's sister live there, too, and does she help you deal with the work it takes to look after everybody? Does your Dad help with the housework? If you are trying to do everything yourself that certainly isn't fair. If your Dad is working long hours to earn money to take care of you all, he probably complains about your mother not helping out. That's hard for you to listen too.\n\nIt's good that you are trying to teach your brothers and sisters how to behave and how to work to help you. I admire you for doing so. Lots of young girls would be trying to get away from all that responsibility. I'll bet you're tired a lot of the time, and you probably feel like nobody appreciates you. \n\nYou should relax a little and just be the young girl you really are. Let some of the work wait and have a big sister day with your little sis. Go somewhere together, just the two of you, even if it's just for a long walk. Take a lunch along and spend some time together just talking and playing. Let her know how much you care about her and how you only want her to learn these things so she can take care of herself someday. Also you should spend a little time together everyday, just the two of you. I don't know how old she is so it's hard to tell you what to do here, but fuss over her a little and show her your love. Give her a hug once in awhile and tell her she's a good girl when she is. She'll give you a few hugs in return and it seems to me that you need a few of those. She will listen better, and you will have more patience with her, when things are friendlier between you. As long as your sister knows you love her, it doesn't matter what your Dad says about it, does it?\n\nWhen you are getting along better with your sister, your Dad should stop saying these things to you. If he doesn't, remember this: nothing lasts forever. You are learning how to take care of yourself and other people. Someday you will be finished school and have a job. You will be able to move out and take care of yourself. You won't have to stay where you are treated unkindly. \n\nFor now also remember that your Dad is probably an unhappy man whose wife has left him. Unhappy people sometimes aren't very nice to be around. Keep your chin up and don't let this get you down. You have a whole life ahead of you and I know you'll make it a good one. A hard working girl like you can't help being a success. Don't forget to take care of yourself, too. I hope you have a friend that you can talk to and visit at times. You can email me if you want to. I had a step daddy who didn't like me much when I was your age, and I hated him, too, so I understand a little about your problems. I didn't hate him anymore after I grewup and he liked me a lot better, too. You and your Dad will work this out. Good luck, my dear.

The strangeness you feel is a little guilt for the fight and feeling like you made him cry.  But you both talked and apologized to each other.  It's all good, Dad's have big hearts, and they're tough to break.  I think it's great he cried, he obviously felt what you're going through.  If a Dad can't be a shoulder to lean on who can be?  Be yourself, give him a hug and tell him you appreciate that he listened.  The talks with him will get easier from now on.  You broke some ice.  You both cleared some air and that's good it may open things up further between the two of you.

There is always a fight with kids when you try to regulate everything.  But you are the father and you decide what is best.  Make up a reasonable schedule and inforce it.  Know that the fights are inevitable, but don't allow the fights to get out of hand.  Let them know who is the boss and that there will be no arguing about it

pick and choose your battles. life is too short to bicker over ridiculous sh*t. when he is being an a** kill him with kindness or act like you can't be bothered with his silly commentary. problem is you all are around each other 24/7 and you'll drive each other nuts no matter how compatible. if you can be be apart for several hours out of the day or go stay at your mom's over nite it'll make you all miss each other and realize the good things about each other. but seriously you need to get some wheels and get your independence back! that'll make a huge difference!good luck!

arguments are never ending with parents..the peak of arguments ive had is when i was in my teens. Most of my arguments were why i shud'nt do all the things they told me not to do ! I tried to find out some of them, after unsuccessful arguments...but i realised much later that iam glad i didnt win all the time..
