I Hate my dad

[Tomix287]

Don't get me wrong, my dad just annoys me.
Well, I think my dad hates me because I'm "different" from birth, I guess. But let's get to the point. Often my dad either takes my things as a punishment which [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]es me off or complains about how bad everything is at home!. Yesterday he took my computer power supply because I said I didn't want to study. And yesterday I prayed for something to happen to him, for example: That he would get hit by a car, that someone would attack him, and generally that I would never see him again.

The bible has a lot to say about such situations. The natural reaction to the sort of treatment you report receiving from your Dad is to want to retaliate. However, Jesus tells His followers:

“27 ¶ "But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 "bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. 29 "To him who strikes you on the [one] cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold [your] tunic either. 30 "Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask [them] back. 31 "And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. 32 "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 "And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 "And if you lend [to those] from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. 35 "But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. 36 "Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. 37 ¶ "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."” (Lu 6:27-38 NKJV)

I pray that God will help you to love your Dad, and that your Dad would be saved, believing in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ok so let's take a look at "different from birth" and compare to what Scripture says -

"Children are a gift from God..." Psa 127:3

God determined the time and place of your birth:
-“And he made from one man every race of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted epochs and the fixed boundaries of the places where they would live;” (Acts 17:26)

He gives you life each day:
-“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psa 118:24)

Next encourage you to have a nice, long talk with the Lord and let Him help you with your heart. He knows what our expressions mean.
(tip: He's always concerned about our hearts. You'll want to start off repenting for your attitude and asks Him to bless and protect your dad).

You're probably good at playing computer games.

Your dad took your power supply to try to give you the opportunity that he probably didn't have growing up. He knows studying is your main job at this time of your life. He's trying to help you be organized, disciplined, and successful in life. Is that awful ?

He says things are bad at home. What can you do to help with the load? Is he upset about clutter, laundry, dishes? If needed, do it. You can tackle one room at a time. Those are skills you're going to need when you get a place of your own. If you need advice on how to do those things and he's not around, asks here and we'll help. When things get straightened out, it only takes a few min a day to keep it tidy. If those things are already done,, asks him what you can do and do it.

You live there - take rresponsibility- no matter your age.

Oh, continue to stay in contact with the Lord. Isnt it great that some of His wisdom is in Scripture for us?

Welcome to CF. You sound young and in a typical friction with your father. While your feelings towards your father are most definitely concerning that being said, it's probably not that unusual. Your best solution is obedience! Remember, your father loves you even though it does not seem like it. He is charged with raising you to be the best man you deserve to be. It's a really hard job when their child is not willing to listen. So try something different. Obey. You will see a change in your feelings towards him and his attitude towards you. This is why God commands us to love and obey our parents, to make your life easier!
Be blessed.
