I am so sorry to hear. It's absolutely not fair that everything is coming to you. Does you father realize what he had done to you when he's not drunk? Do you have anybody trustworthy like a teacher or a family member that can talk to them because abuse and drug addiction is a serious problem. For your father's health and for your good I really suggest that someone take your father to see a doctor...I can't believe what you are young through right now and I hope things can be better❤️Stay strong and feel free to come to me whenever you need.

@MZhang thanks for your kind words and support towards me 💕but my father some days he live as stable person and some days unstable like addicted person . And right now only my father is the only person who earns I'm still student and I really don't have anyone nor the teacher or friends whom I can rely on , yes my situation started as toxicity since 2015 . After that I saw many politics things done by my relative or anyone and then it continues the traumatic situation again and again that's why it's affected my day to day live performance of my studies and I had back in my exam when results were out .  For God sake and people like you who's stranger but still comes as angel person like a guardian angel who support me in this low phase, and I could stand up , hold up myself strongly ..........!!!!!!  Thanks for being there with me ♥️ I wish you that you deserve all happiness and everything like you're kind heart is ....!! Thanks for your support

@vanita66:

I’m really sorry you’re going through this situation. 

While you have a toxic father and a step mother, it started out the reverse way for me with having a step dad and always having a toxic mother but now they’re both toxic. What’s been working for me is keeping my distance from them as much and as long as possible. It’s reduced stress a lot and I’ve been so much happier! 

I think it’ll be great and beneficial for you to try that. If you can move out, move. If you can go on vacation, go. If not, then get out of the house and enjoy the day outdoors or at least go out for a meal and/or a walk or bike riding or something like that. If you do spend the day outdoors, I recommend going home once your parents are asleep if you know what time they sleep. The less you deal with them the better it is for you :)

I can understand how you feel. I too have some issues with my dad because he is short-tempered. Meaning he can get mad at even the most minor inconvenience. Most of the time I just isolate from him and not say a word because I just never know when he is going to explode.
