I’m sick to death of my dad treating me like a reject
DEAR DEIDRE: I’M sick of being treated like a reject by my own dad. He’s lovely to my siblings but says horrible things to me.
I’m a 15-year-old boy. Dad is 48 and left home when I was a kid, reappearing last year.
Me and my two younger sisters stay with him once a fortnight.
He makes it clear that he hates me.
He buys them presents but never gets me anything, and sometimes he won’t even give me dinner.
What did I do to make him treat me like this?
