Hey, I hear you. It's really hard at the best of times to nail down what we want from others and from life in general, let alone when we are already so mentally drained it's hard to do anything other than play xbox and zone out. You wouldn't believe the number of hours I've sunk into Tetris Connected and Gears, just to distract myself.
I don't want to push you, but just letting you know that you can absolutely talk about your problems here to us. More than likely, we'll have had similar things in our past or current.
It is hard to know without living in your shoes, but sometimes it can help to find another person to help expand your support network. Even though things aren't working out with your dad at the moment, it might just be that he needs to work out something himself, or he's not able to provide the kind of support you need. I don't think that's his or your fault. I think it's normal to need to rely on a few different people for different things. Sometimes, that 'someone' might even be like an xbox, to just ride out the wave until you're better rested. Then it might be someone to convince us to get off the couch and do something else. Different horses for different courses.
Nice to hear from you again
James
