Advice needed

 

I feel bad, fustrated, stressed, tired, sad and burnt out. I'm missing my mo. today my dad and I visited her then I picked outa plot for myself. My dad helped me with the down payment I just have to make small monthly payments over the next 7 yrs. Spending time though with my dad can get equally tiring and stressful. I am grateful I have my Dad still since he is one of the  few family members surviving that I have and he is always there financially to back me up in my tough times. However business for him has been scarce as well and all he talks about is how bad business is, my mom's death and complaints about how he should have never refinanced his house to help me with a down payment on mine (I Never asked for that). He continues to complain about my bf not helping me out since he stays with me and although my bf sem i tries nothing ever works out. My dad and I have talked to my bf about trying harder with a 2nd job but mostly my dad complains to me then I complain to my bf and after awhile he either gets angry and or just bluffs it off. I'm stressed out from my bf as well dont get me wrong and I've asked my bf to move but never happens. I don't see calling police as an option to get rid of him since that is way 2 drastic/mean. But somewhere I need to think of me  for my health (Physically, mentally and emotionally). My Dad always repeats the same things and its frustrating!!!!What r ur suggestions tools readers? Pls help!!!!!

Listen

I think you have to listen to that inner voice, and ask yourself if your Dad's concerns are valid or unreasonable.  You are going to know the best thing to do for yourself.  Coach gets into several sections on tools where he talks about relationships and gives guidance.  My best advice is to listen to yourself & do what you know is best for you.

Yup

Do whats best for you, not what someone else THINKS is the best thing for you. Your dads heart is in the right place, but no one ever really knows whats going on in our heads/hearts. If making your BF move makes sense to you and it will make you feel better about things, then do it!

Changes

First of all my condolences on your losing you Mom.  Get him removed from your premises, if you do not want him there and he is just using you and dragging you down.  Either that or just start living your life and leave him to his own vices, while you decide what your relationship is with him.  Productive and going somewhere or stagnation bogging your positive vibe.  Neither route is easy you are in a bit of a spot.  But he might have to be bodily removed if you want him gone and he won't go.  Get him gone with help and then change the locks to make sure he cannot get back in if that is your decision.  Your Dad is grieveing too and he is facing some major shifts in his life and sounds scared even if he is an old school guy and can only express this fear by griping.  Do you see what I am saying?  Keep the lines of communication open yes but try making a date for a positive rendezvous when you meet.  I know easier said than done.  Can you find the time to get away for two or three days and just BE with yourself?  Give yourself time to sort out what you REALLY want now and for the future without any interference or distraction from YOURSELF? Then in that decide what is the right move to take for yourself and get the help you need to do the right thing for yourself where ever you can.  Good luck.

 

Thank you!!!!!!

Thanks so much for the advice. I dont want 2 sound ungrateful or unappreciative. But in all aspects sometimes I cant hear my dad complain all the time. I have my stresses 2. It only adds its appears that there's nothing positive my dad can say but complain. We are going thru the same things with difficult finances (like most every1 else) and the loss of my mom even if its his wife and my mom. Im at a point wjere I dont care if Im with my bf. He puts me down and plays it off like he's joking, he costs me more money by living here and he doesnt help in a positive way. I think 1sdt and foremost I have to learn to think about me 1st then every1 else......

Again I appreciate all the comments and advice. Much needed.
