Problems with my dad

A few nights ago I asked my dad if I could eat his rice from his take-out order and I thought he said yes , a few hours later he asked what happened to his rice and I told him I ate it , he got mad and started yelling at me , I started yelling at him and he called me something I’m not going to post and he walked out of the room , so I called my friend and asked if I could spend the night , and she said yes , I called my mom and told her what happened , she said she was right around the corner from our house , so I packed my things and my dad was still cussing at me and calling me names , so I fired back and he threatened to beat me horribly and I told him to try it my mom was going to be home in less than 10 seconds , and he told me that my mom spoils me and she’ll always be there to back me up , and when my mom got home I ran out to the car and told her everything , and she said she’d talk to him , but she hasn’t said anything , is there anything I can do ?

Answer #1

Aw man..do you stay with your dad or your mom? are they seprated? you may need to find a nother family member to stay with or call for counseling for your dad.Tell someone and see if one of your friends will let you stay with them with their parents permission.because sweety this could be worser..he could have beated you instead of saying wut he wood do..good luck baby girl.

Answer #2

Document everything: date/time/what the circumstances were/what he said/what you said…you may need that someday. You need proof and yes, like others have said, if he lays a hand on you, you have to call the police or you could end up severely injured or worse.

Answer #3

These things happen… even with me … You just have to tell him the truth … that you haven’t understood his answer and try with every single effort to start getting on with your dad… He might be mad but he is your father… he loves you and will forgive you… You have to say sorry for everything you did and everything you said DONT FORGET !!! HE IS YOUR FATHER !!! RESPECT HIM

Answer #4

I dont know your father (obviously) but is it possible that maybe he was just stressed or tired or something and the yelling was overkill? Parents do that sometimes where theres something bothering them and you just happen to be the straw that breaks the camels back…its possibile that youre mom talked to him and he said im sorry I wont do it again or something like that at which point its better to just drop it…if he does it again though I would start talking to your mother again about everything and document things he does to get proof (should you need it) and if he ever lays a hand on you call the police (as hard as it may be it cant stop for sure if you dont) and thats where the documenting will come in
