    Ok, what about when the other person speaking won't hear you, no matter what you say to them, and get angry if you prove them wrong?

      That's when you need a mediator, someone they respect, maybe a close family friend or relative. Come from a place of wanting to be understand eachother better rather than proving that parent wrong.
      If that isnt an option you can try to get them to family/mediation therapy and if they refuse, set healthy boundaries and have pity and compassion for that parent because they are terribly alone and do not know how to form deep relationships, practice self love and care until you have the means to escape the home environment.

    Just to remind anyone reading this, must of the times we're more afraid of what might happen instead of what will actually happen, you will never know the outcome until the thing you're afraid happens.

    im about to be 16 and i wanna talk to my dad but i ghosted him after a while and i feel really bad.. i just dont know or have the courage to start a conversation again with him and thats like the hardest part for me. only idea i have right now is when i get a new number or phone i would text him but its hard for me right now. after a while he started contacting my mom asking why im not texting him back and i said i didnt wanna talk to him anymore but now i regret saying that because me and him had a really close relationship .

    My dad is 89, hard of hearing, getting physically fragile but has a sharp mind and tongue. He is incredibly opinionated, stubborn and negative. It is so hard to have a conversation with him. He is a catastrophizer. Everything is going to end horribly. I will try these three golden questions. Thank you.

    Another point that proves there should be PREREQUISITE behavioural training for all potential and soon to be parents. This skill should exist before some childish nutjob conceives life, then orders and admonishes it, then spouts a variety of excuses for not educating themselves on communication, respect, and neurotic tendencies. fixing yourself is not something you improvise as you go along, while moulding a young, impressionable mind.

      Y es un poco racista tambien yo conocí a esta persona antes de lo de Lakefair y ha cambiado desde entonces. Olympia es una cuidad muy racista. Mi familia de Puerto Rico yo diría que es igual nada de lo que habló aqui funciona con familia Latina disfuncional. Eso es parte de lo que ella no entendía sobre mí. La desesperación que siempre tiene la gente con familia disfuncional o sin familia. Pero la razon por la cual yo pienso que escogio este tema es porque me recuerdo que quería mucho a su padre que sonaba muy buena gente. Yo creo que lo conocí. No es mi lugar Olympia ni Washington tampoco. Una cuidad demasiado racista. Pero de veras que no la odio a esta persona aunque me hizo sentir muy mal que no quisieramos siendo amigos por las oportunidades mundanas que le dieron la cuidad racista de Olympia.

Meanwhile, the horse is like, "I want you all to go murder my vice-horse." & I'm just like okay- okay. okay- okay. okay- okay.
