Why can't I ever be happy without smth happening

My dad spoilt everything again. Ik he loves us and does wtv we want but he says things thata he doesn't rekaise is so hurtful or doesn't rekiase until it's too late and it spoils everything. I'm tired of being happy one day and sad the next. I'm tired of not knowing when smth is gonna happen and whenever I'm happy I've this fear he's gonna say smth and make it sad. This has been going on for 4 years it was bit better and since last few weeks esp with his BP it's starting again. Idk idh anyone to talk to nor do I want to here cus idw reveal my acc but ye. I'm so tired and numb and unhappy. I just don't know. AndListening to how my mom feels just makes me more sad. I'm just gonna go to bed. They're talking rn but it's not tye same like we're not happy but ye idk I just wanted to get this our.

Generate your own contentment.
Research indicates that all you need to be happy is good self esteem and the expectation that something good will happen in the future.

Therefore your dad can say the nastiest of things and you can still be happy.

Look to move out from the parental home as soon as you reasonably can.
Prepare yourself now for life as an independent adult. Practise the skills that will help you. Budgeting your personal finances. Food shopping and cooking. Cleaning and washing stuff (easy to master). Self discipline to crack on and get things done. Social skills. Skills and experience in whatever field appeals to you most for you earning money.
