I had to move home several years ago after an OD. Now, I’m stable, happy. I even am starting a new job. My problem is with my father and my sister. The only time he speaks to me is to scold me on whatever. Tonight it was a lighter. Last night it was him screaming at me about how I don’t do anything. My mom has a broken arm, I take the dog out seven times a day. I clean the kitchen, I fold the laundry, carry things back and forth. I do the laundry. All without question. He is the type that thinks that he says jump, I’m supposed to say how high. I am 39 years old. I’m sick of being treated like a child. He will not let me drive, he will not let me leave the house without explicit permission. And he cut off my therapy 10 mins before I was to see him.

I can’t handle this anymore. I am in remission, but slowly the anger is creeping in and I am terrified of a relapse, especially now that I found a job I love. He will not listen to me without screaming. All I do is wrong. Help me with this man so I can leave my safe space. I don’t even want to be in the same room with him.
