How can I get my Dad to treat me better?

I am 17 and i live with my dad. I got a job a few weeks after i moved in and since then he pays for nothing. I am barely home cause i work or my boyfriend takes me out to eat but when i am home i think he forgets he has to feed me…My dad is a cop and i know my boyfriend and i are 4 years apart in age. My boyfriend a nd i plan on getting married but we want to wait for a few more years we have been best friends for 4and 1/2 years. My dad does nothing to help me. The only thing he does is pay when i tell him he has to go to the school and its required. i have no emotional support and i am an old suicide victum. my boyfriend and i want to get a little 2 bed room apartment by pitt so i can go to middle college instead of high school. we have everything planned i just dont know how to get away from my dad…he has never been there for me and mom can say that but my mom is not a good person to be with eithr because she is not stable..What should i do???

Answer #1

I think because you are 17 you are old enough to think rationally. First of all you and your boyfriend have been together for so long, since you were about 13 i would imagine. I dont think it isa good idea to move in with him right off the back. If your dad is that unbearable, i would suggest moving out on your own or getting a roommate because you never know if the relationship with you and your boyfriend is going to last as long as the both of you anticipate.

Answer #2

well my dad is the same way. he doesnt pay any attention to me at all. it sux so i knw ho wit can fell. my dad is very depressed man whoowns his own business. i jus found out tht im pregnant so idk how to tell him yet but like i said hes not involved at all. and my mom is an alcoholic so…both homes are bad. my bf of a year and me are talking about moving in together now tht were having a baby. but if i were you…i would move in with ur man if ur dad is real bad. ur old enuf to knw all the consequences. jus play ur cards right, and plan everything
