Hello Everyone,
Recently, I had gotten a job offer to work in an Emergency Room as a Patient Care Technician that's outside of my hometown and I took it.Beforehand, I revealed my feelings of frustration and resentment to my Capricorn father.You see, these feelings began when I moved in to live with him at the age of 18. Originally, I never wanted to live with him, because I knew deep down it was a bad idea. I failed my math class in my sophmore year of high school and I needed to go to summer school. My mother didn't have the funds to pay for it, so my father suggested that I live with him for the summer. After multiple times of declining his offer to live with him, I saw that needed to for the summer for my benefit. So, I moved in with him for the summer andgot thru summer school successfully. At the end of the summer, he asked me to live with him for good. To me, that caught me off guard rather awkwardly. I didn't want to live with him for good, but instead I said "Okay" because I figured that it'll be a chance that we could get to know each other better. My younger half brother filled me in on what was currently going on with the family. He told me of how my father was having him and my half sister nolonger making visits to my grandmother's house, who lives nextdoor.My father stopped speaking with my grandmother after a dispute that he jumped in indirectly. My grandmother is married, yet my father's brother came all the way from Florida with a contract stating that when my grandmother passes, that the house will belong to him. My grandmother's husband pulled out an unloaded gun to scare my father's brother off because it was dis-respectful to barge in and try to run someone elses home. My father became aware of what was going on, then he went down the street to gather the rest of his brother and sisters to add more fuel to the fire. That issue had nothing to do with me because I moved in a month after it happened. Few months later, he enforced that I couldn't go over to my grandmother's house. Deep down I couldn't accept that. The long I lived there alot of things became uncomfortable and unacceptable to me. During times I was getting ready to take a bath/shower, he would demand that I open the door just so he could sit there and watch me undress. When I started working things became more ridiculous. You see, my teeth are crooked and my mother couldn't afford braces. I turned to my father and he rejected my request but he went and got braces for my half sister, so I worked to save for that personal goal. After that I never turned to him for anything else. I started working to make my own money and became very strict on myself to save my money. My father all of a sudden came up with gripes and complaints over my very own hard earned money. He would look for things for me to spend it on, and push me to give money to my step mother, and half siblings. Not only that, but he would often ask me for cash but never pay me back when he said he would. To me, it was interfering with my personal goals that he wasn't willing to help me with. All of a sudden he wanted to take from me to side track me from my saving discipline. If I don't lend him any, he would get all grupmy and have a fit. To me, I see no reason for it because I worked for it and it's my choice if I want to lend it or not. It's not his call to tell me when to lend money against my will. It was very queer to me, and it seemed to have no place in a father/son relationship. Another thing that frustrates me is that he talks to me like as if I'm stupid or incompetent. Once, he told me to go to the store to get a gallon of milk, then he turned around to ask me, "You do know what a gallon of milk is, right?" How insulting is that? Imagine being treated like that for two years. I had to get away from that man. I finally got the nerve to express my frustrations to him after I was shopping for a father's day card. I felt like such a hypocrite shopping for a card

uh,the shower thing is VERY wrong and he's needs to get his rocks off in a more non dementing way,thats sick.Yes I can relate only I got kicked out because I did argue and get verbally aggressive towards my stepdad and mother for letting sh-t like that happen.STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOUR ASSHOLE FATHER AND CONCENTRATE ON THE BETTER FAMILY MEMBERS.Either way good choice in leaving and not talking to him.Do you also have a family where every little problem that arises has to involve cops?
