Why does my dad treat me so badly?

yes you did very , i guess im to young to kinda understand most of what he means , but thanks for the answer

you’re very welcome, glad i helped :)

Good advice from Mira.

Jaylynn, what is making school so hard for you? (I don’t know what “policies to maintain” means.) Is it something you could get help with? Maybe something your dad could help you with, or help you find the support you need to do better at school? That might relieve a lot of the pressure.

Also, try to write a list for yourself of things you love about your dad, ways that he’s been there for you or tried to be, fond memories, good qualities that maybe you’ve picked up from him (like a love for photography). Keep the list around so you can add to it whenever you think of (or discover) new things.

After you’ve done that, and you’re more in touch with the whole picture of your dad - the good parts and the difficult parts - sit down and write a letter to him, not to send but just for yourself, restating what you told us but this time do it the way you would like to explain it to him. Later, you can decide if you want to send it to him, or send him a different version, or not at all. The process might just give you some different ideas about how you could talk with him about what’s bothering you.

Thanks i appreciate the advice , i really needed that , im gonna write the letter , but maybe in time ill decide to give it to him , i understand where your coming from. and thanks again.

I bet if you stop to think about it….Your answer to the question “what do you want to be when you grow up” has already changed a few times since let’s say 5 yrs of age. At 13 it may still continue to change as you grow older. But as was posted, there is nothing wrong with doing a hobby till you know for certain what career direction your life will go. Your dad is just being a dad in worrying about your future. I think writing that letter is a good idea as well.

yeah it has changed , but thats what i have my mind set on . and thanks for the Advice
