My dad has been through so much, especially recently. He struggles a lot and he is really trying his hardest every day. I hate myself sometimes for getting mad at him when ik he is trying so hard. He is willing to get my sister and I anything he can and I'm sometimes im just a little brat about it. My regret is how I get mad and don't appreciate him in the times he needs it most but my hope is to be able to get closer with him and be able to show him I do care I just have issues showing it sometimes or controlling my anger or feelings in general.

I am 13 and I hate my parents. My mom is a religious woman. She always talks about me checking my heart or getting my life in check with God. I am not a Christian like her but I can't tell her because she would kill me (not literally). Recently, my mom got mad at me and tried to push down the stairs. My dad came running up and asked whay happened and my mom claimed I was throwing clothe hangers at her, which I never did such thing. My dad always takes her side and I hate it. Another time, I slipped on ice and ran into my dad car door, ACCIDENTALLY slamming his head in it. My dad picked me up by my shirt and slammed me on the car I still have bruises. My parents favrotize my older sister (we will call her Jamie) and my younger sister (we will call her Kelly). Kelly hits me and punches me all the time and even if my parents see it, they y'all at me for starting a fight. Jamie is also religious so they thunk she is perfect. I have an older sister (we will call her Kiara). Kiar is my beat friend. She isn't religious and she isn't a jerk like the rest of my family. My mom HATES kiara because I look up to her. My dad loves er nut because of my mom I don't get to see her very often. I have almost committed because I can't handle my family.
