I have a lot of factors going on right now. I have a lot of academic pressure, peer pressure, and family pressures. I think my whole family is like a pressure cooker. We can never get along. Every day I wake up pissed off that everything is just going to explode, because everyone is always angry.

When I went to family therapy, the counselor helped me stay calm, listen, and give my family space. Once my family members started recognizing their own triggers, it was easier for me to recognize mine. Please look after your own well being. Ask your family to go to family therapy.

This is weird. I never thought I would be able to talk about this. I have been bullied by my dad my whole life and he makes me feel horrible. I have all this pressure to be the best at school, and the best at football, and the best at baseball. I have to be nice to everyone, but no one respects me or helps me, or cares about how I feel. I just want my dad to be proud, but he’s always down on me. I can’t wait to move out. I don’t know what else will help. He just doesn’t understand. I’m so tired of this.

Thank you for sharing. I am sad for you that you are going through this with your family. I hope your family can change its tone and be more gentle with each other. But you can start talking to a counselor to help you deal with it in the meantime, because you can’t control other people, you can only control your response to them. Don’t let your family bring you down or hold you back.
