I was having a nice day but my dad always ruins it. My mom was asking me what I wanted to eat for dinner and I said I wanted mashed potatoes for a side and she agreed to make it. She started making them and I went to my mom and told her the water was about to boil over. Then, my dad asked me what she was making. I said mashed potatoes. My dad then stood up off the couch and started yelling at my mom. It made me feel like shit. My dad said he was going to make soup with them and my mom said he never told her. Then she told him it’s because I said I wanted mashed potatoes. I felt like I was thrown under the bus and it made me feel like I was to blame. I’m 20 years old and it made me feel 9 again.

      I know what that feels like. Sometimes I feel like I am being thrown under the bus when my dad is not grateful for the meal that I cook him. That's not fair on you, it's not your fault at all. I think what you need is to find the time that suits both you and your parents and talk through how it makes you feel when your dad does that.

      I go through the same thing with my parents. My dad always says nasty stuff and my mom will never take my side. Even if her life depends on it. My brother is the golden child which makes things worse. What I do is go in my room and cry to my fiancé and cut myself which I do not recommend. It sucks because during those times I feel like I have no parents at all. And I rather that than getting ganged up on.
