He treats me like a servant he said the only reason he had me so I would take care of himm.otherwise I am useless. I do the laundry cook grocery shop.He sprays me when I am grilling with a hose and almost ruined the food.He nags about eventually eat. He always is screaming my name and snaps his fingers.i am not going fast enough He doesn't like me working for five hours In The morning. But he won't pay my for food gas contest.So he calls and calls.i changed my number. He makes me fight way out of the house. Tells me I am not allowed to shower in the bathroom Or the one I. The garage or the sink. Because water costs too much.
So move in with a friend until you can find a full-time job and then go do you, and let your dad fend for himself.
And don't worry...he'll figure things out one way or another.
YOU DESERVE BETTER!!!
You are claiming that you have to "fight" your way out of the house. What do you mean by this? If he puts his hands on you, it is your right to defend yourself by whatever means necessary. Or call the police and tell them he is preventing you from leaving the house.
If you have family or friends you can stay with until you find a permanent home, you should go there today. If you don't then you should go to a womens' shelter because you will be better off and they will assist you with community resources that can help you get into housing and to get job training skills.
In the meantime, when he snaps his fingers for you to get him something, tell him to go (four-letter word here) himself. If he comes at you and tries to put his hands on you, lay him out. Do absolutely nothing for him. No food, no assistance, no anything. Then get yourself out.
My friend, don't listen to your family when they tell you you'll feel guilt and regret if he gets put in a nursing home. You will not. The only way you will feel these things is if you make yourself feel them. You owe this person nothing and should give him nothing.
You get what you give in this life and your father has given you nothing but grief, dread, disrespect, and abuse. The sooner his a$$ gets shipped off to a nursing home the better.
Good luck to you. I hope you get out of this situation fast.
I am a bit confused by your post though. At one point it sounds like you are not living with him then in another it sounds like you are.
If you are not living with him simply do not return. If he can not safely stay by himself (if he is living alone) you call APS and report him as a vulnerable senior.
If you feel like your safety is in danger you call 911 and report that you are in fear of your safety and if he can not be left alone you state that you can not leave as it is unsafe for your father to be alone.
If your dad is cognizant and can remain by himself you simply do not return to the house.
If you are living there take whatever belongings you have and either move in with a friend or find a Women's Shelter in your area. You are being physically and mentally abused.
It is your move as to what your next step will be.
So what led to your still being there? Bullying by your family? And dad? What makes you think you have to endure this? Because you don't.
Get a full-time job. Or two part-time jobs. Make a plan (real soon) to find a safe place with a friend, a friend's parents, or a relative. Then GO.
Dad is not your responsibility and never was.
If you want permission to live, we give it. Then call Adult Protection services and ask to have Dad evaluated for services. Here in US if no one to care for Dad and jo POA, the State will take over and if needed, place tge person.
Do for you now.
