My dad's is affecting mine. Greatly. I can't have any time to myself after school because he's always downstairs watching football. The TV amplifies straight in to my room and I never get to spend any time in the space that I worked so hard on last summer to make so perfectly awesome and purple... It's my place, y'know? But I can't be here. I can't stand the noise. I can't stand the fact that I have to fend for myself now because my siblings have all moved out and my parents could care less what I'm doing because they're so wrapped up in their own interests. Ugh. Now I'm just ranting. I don't even know what I'm talking about.
I just feel so alone and ignored.
Is anyone else like this? What do I do? I've already tried confronting him with the whole noise thing. He'll turn the volume down to 10 so I can be peaceful for a while but as soon as I leave the room it goes back up to 25 again. I never get to spend time with him. It's like he's just turned in to a guy that lives here and makes money for my mom and I and cooks dinner for us. He never gets involved in a conversation with me. He's always talking to my mom about the same things over and over and over again. Is there any way to fix this? I need someone to talk to... thanks for reading if you've made it this far
If you have any advice please let me know. I'm being kept up until 10 on school nights for years and I'm sick of it.
