Why does my dad treat me like im nothing ?
Me and my dad have never got on that well,we just dont seem to talk that much its like we have nothing in common. But when we do talk we start arguing and then he treats me like im 4 not 14 =/ Its not just him his side of the family look at me like im nothing I dont get it though. I’ve tried everything and its really getting me down
Help ?
It’s not bullshit that they DO care…and DO love you. By the time parents have teenagers of their own, they’ve gone through enough changes that actually “being” a teenager is almost forgotten. We forget how we felt, when we were in middle and high school. We also know that those years pass quickly and though they “seem” traumatic when we’re going thru them, they don’t add up to diddly once out of high school. Being “misunderstood” has been common since the beginning of time.
You sound as tho you want a relationship with your dad, but just don’t know how to go about it any better than he does. Girls/women are a mystery to most men (even OLD men)…Maybe just sit down, and be upfront…”Dad, I want a relationship with you, I simply don’t know how to go about it…I don’t want to fight an argue, tho I will enter into healthy “discussion”. Can we work together?” That’s an adult method…up front…honest and simple. Don’t point the finger at him with accusations of not being able to relate to you…always keep things to yourself…stating only YOUR part. It will open the door for him to state HIS part…
Remember, small steps can make a journey.

Have you ever done anything, you could think of, that his family didn’t like? I mean you don’t seem like the kind of person that would, but it could be anything really.
Well Colleen beat me to it, here are somethings you might want to try to maybe ease down all the arguing. Try making a list of things you and your dad fight the most about. Once you have this list, find out why it is that you get angry when you talk about it. Once you have this, you can work out a compromise between you and your dad. Just make sure that you and your dad agree on this and its something you can do together. Just make sure to set up a time to do this, you don’t want this to be something spontaneous. Now when you two are talking, be the one to set the example. If he raises his voice, stay calm and try to cope with him. You want this to be as calm and relaxed as possible, nothing stressful about it even if you don’t agree about what your parents say. keep it cool with him alright, he’ll eventually catch the drift.
I hope this works for you Lizzie :)
thanks for your advice (:
my dad is the same way. its so annoying and I dont buy that bull shit about them caring for us…if they cared then they would try to understand us and let us live our lifes..n/e ways just ignore his commens and try to get along whenever it is possible and if not then just slowly back away to avoid an argument.
He’s not traying to be mean it is just the fact that this little girl that he had is no longer his little girl now she is a teen and she is starting to grow up and he just dosn’t want to accept that.
Let him know that dough. Let him know that you are not four and that how he is treating you is hurting very much and lets see what happens from there.
Dads can be difficult.
Think about it this way - he has a teen daughter who he probably knows very little about and has no idea how to deal with her. Somewhere along the way, he started to realize that you’re not his little girl anymore, but he doesn’t want to accept that so he tries to hold you back.
I’m sure he loves you unconditionally - he just doesn’t understand you.
I fill the same way but about my mom she the same way!!!
