“I…I just, I don’t know. My dad just started to yell at me for no reason, no reason at all. I was about to go to sleep, and then he comes into the room, and starts screaming at me.â€?
“What did he say?â€?
“He’s like, Are you going to say goodnight like a f**ing normal person?â€?
“Just because you didn’t say goodnight?â€?
“I guess so. And then because I put a picture of you, my dad, and I on my door. I mean it’s my room, and everything I do they take it as if I don’t appreciate what my step-mom does for me. I didn’t do it to offend anyone. And I do appreciate everything that they do for me, but I hate them. Well at least my dad.â€?
“I’m sorry. I know you never intended to hurt anyone’s feelings. Your dad’s just a confusing person, and gets pissed off the weirdest things. It’s okay, everything will be okay.â€?
“Thanks. I hope so, I just don’t want to live here anymore, I can’t handle it. But I don’t want to leave, because I have so many great friends here and the schools are great.â€?
