How do I solve all the issues I have at home?

Hello again everyone, i habe had a very unusual couple of months. I got in touch with with my estranged farther, who i hadnt seen since i was less than a knee high. One thing led to another and now i have a farther! lol, facebook reuinited me with my dad! Unfortunatly, this has created a few issues with me and my mum. She basically hates his guts and so does my brother. They basically will never forgive him and they think its foolish that i have. Its also very irritatating because my mum wanted me to get intouch with him in the first place! Its created really bad problems at home and i dont know what to do. I dont want to be at home and i cant ask a man i’ve known for less then two months if i can live with him. Its also really upsetting because my mums fiance, the man i’ve basically treated as a farther, isnt talking to me… HELP!!!

Answer #1

They are mad at you for wanting to get to know your father. If you ask me that is extrmely selfish. If they can’t find it in them to forgive your him, thats their right, but to critizise you for doing so is unjust. Also your stepdad like wtf is his problem? Although they are not being very sensible, this is no reason to leave your home. They need to learn to accept that you have a righgt to make your own descisions. Until then there realy isnt much you can do, you are not the one at fault here

Answer #2

Thanks, the issues are bit my fault i feel. My mum told me not to tell my step-dad about seeing my farther, but i hate keeping things to myself and then telling lies. So i told him and he seemed really happy at first but then he kicked off as she never tells him anything. Also, after i met my dad for the second time; he dropped me outside the house. Mum told me not to let him do that, i did try to say that it would be difficult to get back out again. But dad said that he’d be fine. I can’t exactly say that my mum doesnt what him anywhere near the house. She saw him and kicked off at me… Big time, along with my step-dad. Its just become to much D: even more so with the fact that my mum thinks that i’m wasting my life with a-levels and the fact that i don’t have a job. I nearly close to a breakdown. NUCLEAR!

Answer #3

As cliche as it sounds - you, your mother, your brother, and your step dad need to sit down and have a family meeting. Leaving home is not the answer and this can be solved if you communicate with your family.

Pick a night where all four of you are home and ask that you can sit and talk with them. Make a rule where the only person who can talk is the person holding (pick any object) and everyone gets to say their opinions as long as its calm and productive.

Explain to your family that meeting your real father is something that is important to you. Tell them that you understand that they have had a bad past with him, but you never had a chance to form your own opinion on him and its only fair that they let you try. It sounds as if your stepdad is just feeling like your trying to replace him. Let him know how much you care about him and what a great father he has been for you and that talking to your biological father in no way means your step dad still isnt the man raised you and you call dad.
