Bro this is hard..... I wonder what happened when you were given birth.... Maybe you remind him of something back in the days,i dont know but am just saying... Just know that you cant commit suicide.. That would be worse.... Believe me all you ve to do is get yourself into a university.... That will enable you to be away from him for a while..... I think you ve a bright future and all these would be part of your story..... Just endure.

Most divorced men living with a kid produced in the failed marriage do see their partner in the kid. It takes great men to not continually see the evil of the divorced partner in the kid. Unfortunately, it seems, your father has not risen above that.

I advice that you thicken your mind's armour and know that, as needed as it is to experience a father's love and approval, it isn't the end of the world. His hatred and bitterness towards you is timed if you stay focused and fight your way through school, life and all other odds to come out on top.

Instead of thinking of exiting life like a coward via suicide, I think you should man up and after forgiving him for the past and for the next 40 years (advanced forgiveness), live life with gratitude and a sense of purpose.

Best of luck bro!

If your father hates you hate him back and ignore him in every thing thats the best way to pay him back

I'd advice you look for someone to talk to, like a father-figure, someone you can look up to and will advice you correctly. At 18 you know what's right and wrong, and this, this situation, is wrong.

Reporting your father to others won't help. Develop a thick skin and be determined to succeed against all odds. He will be the one to BEG your forgiveness when the time is right.

I do feel heartbroken for you. But take this as a phase. You definitely won't be under his care forever. Legally, you are an adult at age 18.

OP, I'm sorry you're going through this. This sort of environment you're living in is not healthy and based on what you've written, it's definitely taking a toll on you. If you continue to stay there it might start affecting your concentration too, if it hasn't already. Talk to your mom and tell her what's going on is affecting your well-being and you want to live on campus. Money doesn't seem to be an issue for her and she can certainly help pay your accommodation fees. She might be worried about what relatives would think, but that should be the least of her worries right now. Your mother is not obligated to him in any way, anymore (they divorced when you were 4) and at 18, neither are you. You are being abused. He hit you with a kettle today, tomorrow it might be something else. Please leave while you can.

I don't know if this is the right thing to do but if I were you I would come up with an excuse so I can move into the hostel. Because as it is now you are building up resentment and it push you to doing something you might regret.

On a second thought,the man might not realise what he is doing. If you can talk to him and let him know how you are feeling maybe he would change.

Just hold on and don't dwell on those suicidal thoughts. Its just a phase,it will pass.

Best wishes.

Im really sorry for what you are going through. I feel your dad sees a lot of likeness/similarities between you and your mum. I dnt know why fathers who divorce tend to push the anger to their kids. Very common attitude. The people above me have echoed my thoughts. Just focus on making yourself happy no matter what.

Unfortunately, we might never get to hear ur dad's side of the story. It is rare to see parents HATE their own blood.

My young man, you should realise that because of ur age bracket and for the fact that many teenagers are usually rebellious at that stage,you might need to check yourself and see what you are doing wrong.

It is almost impossible for your father to 'hate' you if you really are not the stubborn type or the type that talks back at your father.

Forget what you watch on TV, this is africa where parents still hold the aces. You might need to examine yourself.

I am not trying to hold brief for your father, who probably still sees you as a kid, but my point is that if there are things you do that make him angry, you might need to turn a new leaf.

Its easy for ur fellow teenagers here to take sides with you, however, i believe you will u understand when you become a father yourself.

In the case of your cousin, I guess he was angry you might injure him/her, especially if you like rough play.

But whatever it is, stay calm, keep your head up. Its only for a short time. Face ur studies, do well and you ll soon be enjoying your independence. Be good!

Best just to be strong for now. try and ignore everything he is doing until you grow out into your own man. your success would lead you away from him and then you won't have to deal with all he's abuses. what of your mum? have you spoken to her about transferring to egypt? since she can take care of you and your dad really doesn't care I think you should speak to her. Just take it easy for now though and don't do anything you'l regret.

I think u need to get into a hostel, tell ur mum to provide the money for the hostel. U can open up to a friendly lecturer in ur dept about the issue so dat he can help convince ur dad dat u need to b in the hostel for gud academic performance. Remember dat the eyes of someone dat wud b great in life will definitely see enough!

Nice one!

OP, he has said it all. Just remain focused, set your target(positive) and work very hard in achieving that set goal. Know that, that journey will overwhelming and perilous, but you have to stay focused, stay away from any form of distractions, bad friends, and always pray to God. You are still young, with a lot of time to shape your future the way it will suit you. Like I always say, make it and watch the man grin from ear to ear "yeah this is my son in whom I am well pleased" it will now left for you to forgive and forget.

Re: My Father Hates Me! by mcdokwe(m): 9:02pm On Nov 15, 2014
Odikwa serious. I would hold the same view if I were your age.

While growing up, my dad used to put a lot of pressure on me to the point I questioned if I my parents were really mine, but in my own case I must admit I did things I am not proud of now and that made it worse. But growing up, I discovered that of all my siblings, I happened to be the one who was better skilled in my dad's line of trade and he would rather have me around than others, there are things my dad discussed with me that he didn't with my elder bro and we joked more and played like we were age mates, that's is as opposed to his dealings with my elder bro which was always straight to the point. From this I discovered he actually loved me more but didn't like some things I did and it knowing that helped me change in a lot of ways. Maybe you should find out those things about you he is not comfortable with rather than assuming he hates you.

Thank you

Move away. He is so valueless in your life
His new punnnanny may be the person instigating him
Stay with cousins and friends
Be focused in school
Be the pride of your mom.
Make that money
Turn that negativity to positivity!
If you commit suicide, that means you allowed them to win and I tellya,
The elusive Satan would even reject you in "her?" "his?" elusive kingdom for being dumb a enough to commit suicide!
Be on T.V. like Lamar Odom
That old man would come back begging and ish!
Thank me later
