"I guess since he's a patriarch, in his mentality, he dominates all."
Yes because all patriarchs and men all over the world love to dominate all. Patriarchy and misogyny wins again. -
No, I took regular classes my Freshman and Sophomore years and then did half college and half high school classes my Junior year and then graduated over the summer before we moved (took three classes online over the summer).

Meg, its not that you're rebellious. Your father is just being ignorant and borderline abusive. Verbally, not physically.
Anime~Hey, it happens. -
Wow, that must have been a lot of work. I think only smart people can do that, hah. And that doesn't include me, because I want to graduate early and get the f--- away from this hell house. But what your dad is doing is just typical family drama and life and the only thing you can do is try to talk it out professionally and into the past things he's done in more depth or you can detach yourself from it.
-
That's why it's confusing to me because there was that one time when I got a little bit physical, and all he does is yell at me, so can I even call it abuse when I know that there are others that have it so much worse?
-
Meg, I guess you could call it abuse either way.
-
It can be classified as potential verbal abuse? But, it could be one of those retarded parenting routines that happen to most people.
-
I've tried talking to him about it but he doesn't want to listen. He always goes "oh, whatever".
And I've never had a good relationship with my dad, and when I would watch these shows or go over to my friend's house, they all seemed to have like a buddy-buddy relationship with their dads. Even my sister is kinda like that with our dad, but that never happened to me. My soccer and cross country coaches have been more like fathers to me than my actual dad. -
What the heck is potential verbal abuse?
-
"It could be between verbal abuse and just stupid lecturing."
-
My father and I have a firm relationship. Flawed but tolerable.
Potential abuse, as Anime put it, is what COULD be abusive but not directly. More indirect? Idk, I hope this makes sense? -
Stupid lecturing on what? Telling me to shut up?
-
No, that doesn't make any sense to me.
-
I think its along the lines of subtle abuse, not obvious.
Is this a better explanation, because I don't think so. -
So, I should just suck it up?
