Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
That's outrageous treatment, especially from your father. One day, ask him about his childhood. Obviously he learned to be a hood from his parents. He didn't become a bully overnight, ya know?
Is your mother around, or someone you could talk to like an aunt or uncle? Maybe they would understand.
Now, you've probably tried this already, but counseling would be beneficial, even from a guidance counselor at school.
On the off chance that your dad my respond to sports or an activity, maybe you could get him to partner with you on that. When you have quiet time, tell him that he's making you feel terrible about your life and yourself by his mistreatment of you.
Do you graduate soon? Any plans for after that?
He may be in control while obviously out of control himself for now, but that won't last forever. His attitude of "Do what I say, but not as I do" doesn't do much for helping a growing man or anyone else for that matter.
Or, you could ask for counseling with him, in which case, some people will stop their behavior when others are present and possibly looking over the situation.
I say, try not to despair. Stay close to those you trust and keep your own feet on the ground.
Do whatever activities help to ground you and don't forget to have fun as this family discipline is sheer bullying.
Other than that, we're all on DS because something is bothering us and for me, it helps. I hope it does help you, too.
Your Dad is abusive and I can absolutely guarantee you two things are true...You didn't deserve it and you are not stupid! Get counseling now to work out the effects his crazy treatment had on you, do it now before you get stuck repeating the cycle. Don't let him alter your reality of yourself, you know whats right and wrong.
What a looser he is. He could have had a beautiful relationship with his wonderful son but he threw that away.
Good luck to you.
I'm sorry that he has no clue how to really parent you. I pray that you will guard your heart and mind from the lies that he is telling you.
I know it hurts. But when it comes down to it, if you refuse to agree with him, you can overcome this adversity in your life, and come out stronger!
Chances are good that he is afraid of you passing him up... people don't tend to beat down those who are truly weak... they try to convince those who are actually very strong that they are weak, so they don't themselves get passed up.
You have something in you that confounds him, that he can't identify with, and that he is jealous of... don't let him squash it.
Is there someone you can talk to... at school maybe?
You will have a better life. The first step is to decide to accept that as truth. Then you will make it happen.
God bless.
