Hey /lounge/rs,
Lately my life has kinda been going to shit.
I'm only 17 and I've been raised in a upper middle class household for most of my life.
But two years ago the company my dad was working for went under.
So my family moved from Maryland to this shitty farm house in Canada.
After about a year in a house that was a hour away from the nearest town, we decided to move.
We moved to a small-ass house in the suburbs. Smallest, shittiest one around.
My dad is a 48 year old programmer who has gotten emotionally unstable.
It's a family of 6, me, my three bothers, and my mom+dad.
This new house we got two months ago needs lots of repairs. We're low on money and my dad is getting really crazy. He's been coming home and just going straight to his room. Any interaction with him ends in him yelling about worthless shit.
Last night he knocked on my door, when I opened it he slapped me. He's a 48 year old manlet.
I punched him and pined him on the floor. He's always thought he was tough shit or something. He threatened me with splitting the family apart if I didn't leave the house forever.
My mom is broken, she's trying to get a job.
My dad is insane, he has a power complex.
My two younger brothers are unhappy and don't understand what's happening.
My older brother and me try our best to keep the family together.
It's just been so hard lately.
It's just been schools, working on house, working for money, repeat for me.
Me and my dad are the only people with jobs.
He's making 80,000 a year.
Shit just sucks.

I don't want my family to fall apart, mainly for the sake of my younger brothers. They don't deserve this.

Have you tried fixing this yourself or telling a professional?
I'll keep you in my prayers.

>>3Who would I even tell?
I feel like I'm watching the people I care about just falling apart.

>>5It's not money problems dude.
I wish my dad wasn't crazy.
He also goes out and buys loads of worthless stupid shit. Like yesterday he got a remote that was 6x bigger then a normal one.
He said he got it because it would be a funny joke when we have guests.
We never have guests, that remote cost him like 150 bucks. It was useless to us.
