How afraid of one or both of your parents are/were you?

my mother. she is extremely manipulative. she uses guilt trips to get me to take my siblings, and can easily threaten me. hasn’t been done in a while, but im always on my guard around her.

My father as well. He was always very verbally and mentally abusive and occasionally it went physical as well. I now tell him that if he ever hurts me I’ll take a frying pan to his head. I’m starting to think he got the message…

I’m not really scared of my mom, but she does try to manipulate me sometimes into doing stuff for her. She makes a lot of threats toward being a cop caller. I used to be scared of her that she’d call the cops when i was high, than she started calling when i was. I’d take off and since i never got caught. It kind of made me less scared and when i’d come out of hiding i was sober. (: My stepdad is very abusive, he’s a alcoholic from hel!. He randomly picks fights with everyone almost everynight. I am uterly scared for my mother and siblings sake. Not my own. He knows he lays a hand on me again i’ll have him in the back of a cop car. (:

Both, only when their mad though. When my dad gets really mad he pins me to things & yells in my face & smacks me if I say anything back, also when he’s drunk he gets really mad for no reason & starts arguments. When my mom’s mad she drives crazy & since she knows I forget my seatbelt quite a bit, she slams on the breaks randomly for no reason & I end up hitting my head on the windsheild, she also chases me in my house. xD This isn’t against my parents or anything I love them, just when they are mad their scary.

My parents were never violent or anything, but I was still afraid of my mom growing up. She has quite the temper, and I was always terrified of making her mad because she’s incredibly confrontationaI and I don’t like being yelled at (I’m kind of a wimp). As for my dad, I’m not afraid of him at all. He’s a pretty chill person, it’s really difficult to make him upset. He’s a roll with the punches kind of guy, which I try to emulate :)

I used to be scared of my dad because he is an alcoholic, but i’m not anymore. He would do the same exact things you say that your dad did. It was scary. He went to counsleing for his anger problems, and slowed down on the driniking, so it is a little bit better. My mom on the other hand i’m not afraid of, i’m afraid of hte words she says to me……….How she doesn’t care at all.

When I was little I was super afraid of my dad because he was an alcoholic and violent, but now he doesn’t phase me even though he’s still basically the same. My mom never really scared me though.

My mom probably,she gets really emotional and upset over little things,such as not getting exactly all of my school done in the unit of time I was given could result in no computer/video games for an entire week/month and then the never-ending beyond irrotating emotional speach that can sometimes result in intense screaming or crying.That is,without me ever usually getting a word in at all.-_- But that’s usually on really bad days,and then I’m glad sometimes because my dad comes and calms her down and then things are usually OK after that and punishments are drawn down to reasonability.:P

I think is wrong for parents to hit and worse yet a teenager.

I was never afraid of my parents. They were pretty predictable. If I did anything wrong, I knew just what would be the punishment. I never tried doing anything so terribly wrong that they would have had to think of a new punishment.

They were never violent. If I did things wrong, I had to do extra house work, I have been forbidden to go out, I had my pocket money canceled or I have been forbidden to watch my favorite show on TV for a couple of days.

I was the younger one, my older brother had already broken every rule. And I was mostly harmless in comparison. So I had hardly anything to rebel against. I colored my hair green and a mohawk when I was 14. And my mom only complained that the green hair wasn’t color-proof and left green stains on the pillow. I was so disappointed. :(

You have NO idea. My father was very abusive, he threatened violently, constantly hit me and my older brother, he would lock us in the bathroom (seperately) for days with nothing to eat or drink, on school days he would give us stuff for us to get ready for school, then right after put us right back in, the most days I’ve been in the bathroom was about 3 to 4 days without eating (I would drink water from the sink if I did it quiet enough and wiped it completely dry so he wouldn’t know.) I didn’t really see him drink all that much but he wouls smoke constantly so me and my brother got sick a lot and he would work until very late. He would throw incredibly heavy things and throw them at us and scream so loud, so terrifyingly and in our faces until we were in a corner crying and peeing our pants. Whenever someone would come check on us from like child services or seomthing we had to lie and say that our father was very good to us. Our mother knew our pain as she’s been through it herself except for the bathroom thing and when he would yell, she would yell back but he would still hit her. She and my stepdad would constantly hire lawyers and fight for us back but it took years untl we finally lived with her full time. Me and my brother would visit our mom on Thanksgiving break, winter, spring and summer break. I’m glad that it’s over though =)

Although I’m ponly mad at my mom when she hasn’t had her coffee XD

Wow. That sounded really bad. I am glad you were out to make it alive. Do you have any residual issues from that? Like, anger or nightmares? How is your brother coping with that?

I’d say my uncle more than either one of my parents. But if I had to pick a parent I would say my dad because he gets very physical and he likes to hit.

I use to be terrifired of my dad. He is very unpredictable with his moods and he will snap and take it out on anyone near. And a lot of the time that was me because he didnt like the idea of taking it out on my sister because she was the closest to him. I use to hate going to his house becaus i knew if he got angry he would call be some horrible names

My dad by far, why get into details? But he something to be afraid of. My mom too, words hurt. But not as much…
