my dad stressing me out and I think it's hurting me physically?
I have a bad relationship with my dad. Most of his mind games I can take but lately he’s been on my back non stop for the last week. I can’t really take it anymore. always trying to pick a fight with me always trying to blame stuff on me all of it. As a result I’ve only been eating something at lunch and maybe something small around six o’clock. I’ve been smoking a lot lately [about a pack a day]. I still do my morning walks with my dog then a run and pull up/push ups. I don’t really get tired but I feel like and want to keep going but I just feel exhausted and out of breath then if I just keep going i just get more out of breath and exhausted. I loaded a water heater, refrigerator and some other stuff on my truck to junk it by myself I can lift heavier stuff my little brother is about 85 or so pounds and I can hold him by his feet with one hand. but that fridge was like 60 or so pounds and just walking it I got tired. I just can’t really take my dad’s game and he was pushing me earlier trying to get me to hit him back. I think instead of just waiting around 8 months to join the US Army I might just go to France and try and get into the French Foreign Legion. I already did the math, if I sell my truck and my guns I’ll have enough for a one way ticket and a few nights in a run down hotel. not being accepted won’t be an option for me. There’s just a part of me that wants to leave but another part that wants to stay. anymore I just don’t know what I want to do.
i know its a real bitch to wait but i would personally wait it out and join the army.
you could just stay with someone else.
Do you have grandparents? cousins? friends?
i would wait it out
sorry to hear this hope things work out well for you

Dude, Reb it sounds like you’re going through a bit of a brutal thing.
You know what? Maybe your dad needs a good a$$ kicking. I know how you don’t want to, but he deserves it at this point.
Don’t sell your stuff and go to France… if anything stay here in the States. Trust me, the French look down on Americans.
Reb, STAY HERE. It’s tough I know, but once you sell everything… what do you have? Tough it out and get right back at him!
Play mind games with him… vengeance was never a bad thing. He’s being mean, so as my Grandfather told me "If they’re mean to you, get twice as mean twice as fast". I think we could apply that to your situation.

I would say, every chance you get to go run, or swim, or just walk, take it. If your dad gets on your case, go run. Talk to yourself while you run. Laugh at the fact that in 8 months, you are going to hopefully be in the Army. I was in the Army myself, and whenever people got me down, or angry, I took that as the fuel I needed to run. That was the fuel I needed to get to my goal, because the best revenge was proving them wrong. (My mother told me that before Madea’s Family Reunion came out.)
I would say dont do the French Foreign Legion thing, simply because though not getting is isn’t a personal option, it is still an option. Then you would be in France, with no money, and no place to go. Work on correcting your meals, and cutting back on the smoking. Make it a point to eat well rounded meals and drink enough water. It is easy to say you won’t regard your father, but, it will be far well worth it.

Sounds like he is a controlling person and pretty depressed if he wants to fight you as if he has nothing to lose. He sounds like he is full of despair. I would recommend him to counseling or some sort of family intervention. I don’t think you should escape, but have a talk with him about what’s going on with him(with another family member around) especially if he is violent and aggressive. You should not have to deal with that sort of negativity in your life. You have choices here to be around whomever you want.

hey Reb? Sounds like what i go through with my mom, but she plays real mental mind games… You love your dad, and that is only natrual for a child to love their parents. You are streesed out, and being stressed out can affect u physically. You have to try and shoulder it, focus on things you want to do. Your dad would be sad if you left to go to france just to get away from him faster. When you go into the US army, you only get to come home on certaint timez, and that should make your dad reliaze that he really really misses his son. It maybe hard to block out the stress, but dont think negative thoughts. U can use the law of Attraction, it has worked for me so far. if you want to check out the movie go to www.thesecret.tv.com it is a good show to watch and its helping me. If you want to talk bout anything e-mail me. I know your goin through something brutal, and stressful
wishes and prayers with you,
nelly

Reb, I am sure it’s tough and I don’t know why your dad is acting as he is. But let me give you a little advice, worth every bit as much as it costs.
First, the French Foreign Legion is a fine military outfit but tough to get in. There’s no guarantee since there is a steady stream of applicants. There are about 700 Americans in the Legion today. You have to apply in France, which means you have to go to France. In order to get into France, you have to have a round-trip ticket, proof of funds to live on and valid health insurance with international coverage. And you are really on your own. The Legion does not extend any financial assistance to unsuccessful applicants and the selection process can take up to ten days (if you are successful). While serving in the Legion does not endanger your U.S. citizenship, serving as an NCO could, even though France and the U.S. are not engaged in hostilities.
Stress is going to wear you out; stress is very taxing on the body, especially when it involves repeated "fight-or-flight" situations. Any doctor will tell you that. It is also taxing on the brain, which is why you feel tired.
You say it’s about eight months before you can enlist. I don’t know what state you live in, but I am sure they have a social services agency. It’s no sin to ask for help when you need it and you should contact them, if only to have someone real to talk to and possibly get some advice. Whatever you can get there is bound to be better than anything this group can offer. If you have completed high school, it may be that you could get a job somewhere until it’s time for you to enlist in the Army. Whether you actually move out is up to you, but just knowing you have an exit strategy will reduce your stress. It will also give you a trump card to play if your dad won’t let up.
As for your brother, raising a flag with social services could also help him. Child abuse takes many forms and social services agencies take a dim view of all of them.
Good luck. Remember, even though eight months seems like a long time at your age, it will pass and if you keep your nose clean, you will be able to enlist in U.S. Army and meet a drill sergeant who will introduce you to a new form of stress. At least with a drill sergeant, it’s nothing personal and it only last a few months.
