I cant say everything because it iwll be long, but he literally gaslights us everytime and makes himself appear innocent. also my parents are very religious and my mum has to obey my dad and because she defended him from screaming and abusing me for being right (which is a one of because normally shes also rude to me) and then he started shouting at her and saying shes going to hell and because my mum is religious she got sad. i wish they werent religious ot believe this bs.
Im also not allowed to have my mums decisions, my dad has to have the final say. i literally can rarely ever go for a walk and can only go for 15 minutes, while my mum has made it clear she would let me go hang out with friends, stay till night and give me freedom. im not allowed to walk to school to, we had a fight about this and he literally said so much hurtful things and screamed and shouted at me saying things like im going to hell, and that i can never go to school alone and things like that. I wish i can leave :frown:

Im sorry about what you have to go through

my dad is very controlling as well and is forcing me to do a degree that I dont want to do (accounting and finance) throughout the whole of summer he would come and shout at me as he thought my decision to do engineering instead was an "impulse" decision and then act like nothing happened the next day
so im telling him im doing accounting and then applying for what I want, without him knowing
he will kill me when he finds out but I will hopefully be moving out by then

It has been hell living with him so I can imagine what you're going through. Just remember its temporary and you will be able to leave them eventually and have your own life free of them. good luck with everything!!

You do that. I'd do that if my father tried to force me to do something I didn't want to do and it quite obviously isn't an impulse decision no one in their right mind wouldn't think long and hard about their degree.

I understand how difficult life is growing up with parents who are toxic, violent or have unbalanced personalities.
I escaped from my parents seven years ago before a level results were out and will probably never speak to them again.
