• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi EpicBacon,

I think you should contact your school counselor. He/she may be able to work with you and offer some assistance. You seem to have a good sense for what is going on but I really believe some guidance would help. God bless you.

Is there any where u can go? A friends house or close family members hoyse? it sounds like ur moms a victim also. U both r. U need help. Plez get out of the situation. Ur mom seems to need help as well. Christain parents dont act like this. They act the opposite. Ur father in my opinion acts like a jerk. He seems to be using u to scare ur mom and hoping to scare u however it doesnt seem to be working (awesome).
I feel for u and mom. In my opinion. Ur dad has issues deep issues and he is using u and mom as mental punching bags. Has he ever hit either of u? has he ever shown this attitude in public (friends house or etc) where u can get their help on paper? Get out of the house as soon as u can and report his abusive conduct. Never accept this. U and ur mom deserves better. :-(
Strength, hope, courage, happiness vibes to u and ur mom.

ah sweetie, i am a mother of two and my children are young, but i would absolutely HATE to know that I was the cause of driving my child AWAY from Christ. Parents DO NOT always know how to act, what is best, they are only human...in fact i am sad myself tonight going over things in my head that i feel guilty for for not being a perfect parent. i feel for you...it is REALLY hard raising kids, especially these days!! i hope you can maybe write your dad a nice letter explaining exactly how you feel without making him feel like a horrible person...just simply you communicating yourself to him in order to better your relationship. i think you are putting your dad's emotionally abuse face onto God's face...God's face is beautiful, loving, caring, giving, wonderful at ALL times....there is no evil or bad in God...He IS love...it is NOT about christianity or about sticking your nose up about what a great christian you are, it is about just simply being humble with God, meaning talking honestly w/ Him about what you are going through...it is very very easy: God is there to HELP you, not to be a religion you must follow. take care of yourself and try and get a time where you and your dad can talk about the underlying feelings you are having w/ his parenting style, i said maybe a note because then he cannot 'lash out' in the middle of your trying to talk w/ him. good luck -katy

I absolutely hate my parents too.

At times, they really do push the buttons and drive me away from God.

But I don't hate God because it's not God's fault. It's their fault. And sometimes through them, I learn a lot to NOT be like them.

They think that they're fine examples of human specimen, but they can keep their delusions.


It's hard, but it's also better for you to not play the blame game. Otherwise, a lot more troubles come. I know that one from experience.


I'm trying not to hate my parents, but this hate does come out at times. That's when I rely on God. At times, when I don't, I find it hard to go on because more irrational thoughts and memories bother me.
