New user to these boards was just pissed and found this in google. Anyone else relate to this?

My mom is normal parent who allows me to basically do what I want but still cares for me about things like drugs, etc. My father however, in recent years has tried to completely control my life. I think it's because I have grown out of the little kid stage and he can't basically tell me what to do now and I am off doin things on my own. Me and my father basically havnt had a convo in 5 years that wasnt an arguement. He tries to act like a hardass and control everything because I have essentially isolated myself completely. My parents know absolutely nothing about me and they know it. That and the fact that he can't smack me around anymore if I dont go with what he says, because I am way bigger than him now and I would beat the **** out of him. But anyways nowadays he will come up to me and start crap and when I say anything back he grounds me for weeks.
Well ya, life, its real great, recently I got T-boned by a drunk driver and my car got totaled....and the police officer at the scene let the girl off without anything and questioned her for maybe 2 minutes.....but questioned me for 15 minutes about how fast i was going and if me and my friends seatbelts were on, because we are guys....so she gets nothing and i get a **** settlement from the insurance company...this all happening 1 month after i pay for an $1,100 sound system out of my own pocket...now i had to buy a new car.....my teachers in school are *****....my dad is on my *** 24/7 for no reason whatsoever......and the girl I was gonna ask to prom 2 weeks ago got asked to prom by my best friend while i was inside grounded as usual for no reason whatsoever....so what happens next is i found out he did that when i was drunk last weekend and i made the dumb mistake of going out driving all pissed/drunk and i **** up my right tire on a curb and have to pay for that now too. I can't say **** to him cuz i know it will screw up the entire group of friends so i gotta hold it inside me.


Sorry guys just venting, thats what these boards are for right?

I agree with u Matt, cuz my mom is da same way. She gives me crap about nothin in particular, I come into my house thinking 'I wonder what I will be yelled at for today". What angers me is that she sometimes pushes me to act immaturely 'cuz she makes me lie to her. Since she still thinks I'm a lil girl (ok I'm 15, not that old but...I'm not 5 either) she doesn't let me do s***. So, don't feel bad u're not the only one who has parents who don't seem to notice u've grown up.

Ya I have tried that but it wont work because he refuses to accept that I am no longer a child, and just makes things worse.

Geez, Matt, you've got a life full of teen angst. If I were you, I would try to have a mature and adult conversation with your father. You should explain how you are no longer a child. Try to avoid yelling and blaming your dad for your problems.
