(15yo)I hate my dad. He steals my money for gambling and hits my mom. I wish I had a father like my friend's dad.
My dad is currently unemployed, has a severe gambling addiction, and he literally steals my money to fund it. On top of that, he is constantly screaming, cursing, and saying horrible words right in front of me and my little sister. But the worst part is how he treats my mom. She works the whole day to support us, and he physically abuses her—he slaps her and pushes her face.I fucking hate him. I look at my friend’s dad, who is safe, kind, and supportive, and I wish with all my heart that I was his son/child instead. I feel like I’m being robbed of a normal childhood.Right now, my main priority is protecting my 8-year-old sister and keeping her away from the shouting, but I feel so helpless. Has anyone else dealt with a parent who gambles, steals from you, and hurts your mom? I wish I just got a good father I never had a good childhood everyone in school was proud of their father except me I met my other friend's father and I wish I was there soon
