Re: Veteran Dad Vent or?

Hi @Idonteventknow welcome to the forums.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this treatment from your father. It sounds very tiring, frustrating, and saddening.

I'm wondering if you or your father have much support, either from friends/family or from professionals? You don't deserve to navigate this alone.

You can get some extra support from SANE by joining our Recovery Club - read more here: https://www.sane.org/recovery-club

You could also reach out to 1800RESPECT for some support navigating a difficult relationship:

I believe Open Arms also offers counselling and support for families of veterans:

No one deserves to be degraded, dismissed, or ignored. It sounds like there was a time when things were good, so maybe with a bit of support for you both, things could get better. I wish you the best on your healing journey.
