paperazzi Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 The only purpose confronting your Dad would have is to let him know you know about it, since your Mom already knows. What he's doing is disrespectful to you, too, and it may do you good to confront him about it. However, keep in mind that it's up to your parents to make their decisions about what they're going to do about it. Your Mom may decide to ignore it, or she may choose to leave. Maybe talking with your Mom about it would be helpful for you, too, and would let her know you are aware. Sometimes parents think kids don't know anything and it takes a wake-up call like that to get stuff resolved. But don't try to force anyone to make decisions - that's entirely up to them. Good luck!

clandestinidad Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm really sorry that you're going through this. What are your thoughts about it? I've always been a more 'confrontational' type of person. If something upsets me enough that I need to choose whether or not to say something about it, then for me that means that I should speak up. You have every right to say something to your dad about it. You're a member of the family too, the family that he's hurting, and should be able to express yourself. Whether or not he changes his behavior isnt up to you, however, and I suggest that you not expect that you'll be able to convince him of anything. Look at it as expressing your opinion, and telling him that its hurting you, and however else you feel about it. Just dont try to change it, because its not in anyone's power to make someone change. I'd like to know what you were thinking about saying to him. It might help to work it out here, and then go to him. Link to post Share on other sites
