Advice please

What do you do when your dad moved back? When your the only one who doesn't feel comfortable with him there? Only because you I is he'll do what he did again. And that the problem will get worse?

Life is tough on dads too, so maybe he just needed some time?  we all do!  I am actually so glad he is back because it makes you guys a family again!! YAY!!  beside maybe this will pave the road to home schooling and then there won't be so much drama and meaness!!

I have a good feeling that at the end of this year life will be a lot nicer and better for everyone!

Maybe but I doubt we'll ever be an actual family. All we do is yell at each other and argue. We never decide what's for dinner so most nights we make our own and it sucks. He's a list and a cheater too. He lies just as good as I do

I think it is nice to have your dad even if it isn't the most fun.  Because deep down you know love him. :)

@NeonHearts I mean yeah, I lvoe him. But the arguments between my siblings and my parents just get louder with him. The only way to escape is with headphones constantly jammed in my ears or spend the day at the park because you never know when they might argue again

NeonHearts

Gosh that sounds awful!  Has your Dad come back yet though? things might be different this time!

@NeonHearts he has.and it's been three days...and...two fights? maybe? not between him and my mom, but between him and my teenage brother.

im so sorry, it sounds like your house is kind of turned upside down right now

i know my parents used to fight a lot too, and my brother started fighting with my dad... then one summer we sat down, and just talked it over, all the things that were happening to us

we went on a vacation and spent the entire time just getting to know each other and getting comfortable with one another again, and then things just started coming back together.

now my dad helps my mom cook in the kitchen, and my brother even comes with me to walk our dogs :)

i know things may seem hard right now, but im living proof that if you stick with it, love your family and hope for the best; it will all turn around and the sun will shine for everyone :)

remember to keep an open mind and never, ever stop loving your family, because you are all related, and experiencing the same things :)

@frogiepower You should try talking to your mom and you could work something out together  on how to bring your family  closer! Moms are so much more easy to get through to!  My mom and I work all the family matters out together!

@Princess_Tropic my mom's trying to force us in to family counseling. The thing is this has been going on for years. It's also kind of hard to love a brother who says he hates you and tried to kill you (yes, the cops were called but he did not go to jail :/)

He's bipolar, has got depression, and has anxiety. His medicine doesn't work but our doctors won't give him more without a specialist and we don't have any of those nearby. That's part of the issue.
