I can't talk with my father about anything. He's the kind of father who is the "man of the house" and he believes that his word is the law. Sometimes I try to bring up a topic and he ends up arguing with me. My dad just isn't patient enough sometimes. I know it's difficult to deal with a son and everything (not from experience, I assure you), but I've told him how I feel about this situation at least three times now and he ends up arguing with me and yelling. I've also given him a couple days to think over things, but he just keeps arguing with the whole "my word is the law" bit and he just won't explain anything. I'm frustrated and I'm experiencing spurts of depression where I just go into my room and cry and wait for him to knock on the door and tell me that he overreacted, but that never happens.

I'm frustrated and I've contemplated suicide, but never seriously considered it, because I'm aspiring for many things in life. I'm not going to kill myself as long as there is some sort of hope or ambition in my life, but I see it slowly disappearing everyday. I really don't know what to do. Thanks in advance.
