Too far tonight.
My sis came home from being out, she is 15, and she is being all bitchy and has been so much lately(the past year or so). My dad started raging at her like hell, yelling and telling her to piss off to her room. She went up stares and whilst he went out to walk the dogs, she ran out of the house to a friends house as she is upset and says she hates this family.
My mum is so upset and my dad thinks he is ni the right, even started telling me that I was being cheeky to him, the prick. He is so annoying and goes so mad. anyhow my mum has burst in to tears and called up the friends house and could barely tell the friends mum that she wanted my sis kept safe. I asked why she was greeting and she said she 'doesn't want my dad driving her away'.
It's to late in my mind, my sis really is being over bitchy, my dad has a short fuse and my mum does get upset but why has the prick got to start taking it out on me shouting about me being the cheeky one(censored). I am beyond happy right now.

Please advise me on this. There is no reasoning with him but how can I comfort my mum more. She's away to bed now in tears.
Right well my family situation is far from blissful, only the parents role is reversed.
I would take your mum a cup of tea and some chocolate or something like that, just something nice. Sit with her, chat to her, give her a hug. Just give her a bit of normality.
Your sister - I understand that there is no reasoning with a fifteen year old. However there should be reasoning with your dad! Maybe sit down with him when he's in a good mood, and tell him that he upsets you when he shouts at your sister. Maybe suggest that he leaves it to your mum to do the disciplining or something like that. Make sure that you do it in a nice way.
Are you and your sister close? If you are, you could probably talk to her about her behaviour, making sure all of your language says that you are on her side ("i know dad's a pain, but if you just speak nicely to him, he'll be nicer to you"). If you don't get on, you could try talking to her anyway, but maybe bring her something nice home from town first or something like that. Teenagers are never averse to bribery or flattery !
