Ok so here's my story.
My parents are divorced and I live with my dad and have 2 sisters. They were divorced cos my mum had mental issues and they use to fight a lot. My dad got married again when I was 12. I'm now 18 and my elder is is little bit affected by the mental illness my mum had. The other sister and me are not affected by it.
Problem: The relationship between us and my dad is not good. Why? Because according to him we are not good enough in any thing, be in education, religion or relations etc. He never spends time with us cos he never has time for us. When we were young, we were brought up by our grandparents and we are only emotionally attached to them. But now we have to live with our dad who says he loves us, but never shows care, never spends time with us, if we don't get good marks, he scolds us so badly. He always compare us to our mum who we've never been with and every time there's a fight at home, he says he's going to send us to our mother. He never understand the fact that he needs to be a bit more gentle with us since we've never had am other and we feel empty.
I know I can do little, just suffer at this home and then leave afterward. Anyone in the same position? How do I avoid tensions?
