Family problems?

[ForEverTopaz]

Well, my dad and I argue a lot. He has been being really mean and has been yelling at me for no reason lately. He pressures me to do well in school, whenever I get a C, he makes me feel terrible. Whenever something like that happens, HE WON'T LET IT GO! He teases me about getting the C when I actually do really well in school. I am in honors classes and everything. Well, when he yells at me, he is ruthless. When I try to go to my stepmom to tell her how I am feeling, she just defends him even though she knows that he isn't treating me right. So it is like no one understands me. I also found out that while he is yelling at me, he is cheating on my stepmom. She found out and is now going to a counselor. But I have to listen to her stick up for him anyway. I have had three emotional breakdowns where I start screaming and crying because I keep everything bottled up. I am going to a counselor too, but it doens't seem to help. Any suggestions?

Next time your dad nags you for not doing well at a school subject, say that's it's not half as bad as cheating on a spouse. Every time he nags you, just nag him back. He's a hypocrite.
