You come here and open your heart, even admit you've had acne and depression but you mostly just get criticized for not being thankful to your stepdad. I think that's wrong.

Your stepdad sounds like a jerk. Either that or he has issues like being a little depressed himself, feeling insufficient and stuff. Hopefully he has issues rather than just being a jerk because then there's hope for an improved relationship between you.

He shouldn't come into your household and dominate.

People in this thread say he doesn't have any obligations to help you with stuff. Perhaps not with the driving licence, but he should adapt to the family's needs, including your needs.

If you are a young sensitive lonesome guy he should take that into account and behave in a sensible manner.

He should be aware that by him being jobless he is an exhausting factor to his surroundings by constantly being around in your house.

Continuous verbal harassment is very serious. It can make anybody go bananas and pick up the nearest axe and let it dance.

He also had the stomach to hit the family dog. You could have punished him right there and I wouldn't have condemned it.

The thing is, it's not as if I've never thanked him for doing something for me. I have whenever he did. He certainly did teach me a lot when he talk me out driving and I never once wasn't thankful. I said earlier in the thread how one time I grew fed up with him and told him off. Well he came up to me and let me take the car out for a drive with him and I apologize as soon as we got in the car and I explained everything to him.

Ever heard of a saying "6 of one and half a dozen of the other" to be honest from the story and the way you have conducted yourself in the replies on this thread your half the problem here. It's not always nice to hear it and believe me i've been there, i used to fight with my dad quite alot, to the point of hospital visits for both of us. It's only when you get to look back at these situations or you view them from an onlookers perspective is when you can really pick the points out.

I don't want to judge too much, as much as you've told us we are only getting one side of the story here and i think the story from his side would be a lot different. You say you sufferer(d) from depression, i don't disbelieve you one bit on that but you have to realise that depression is a very selfish problem as much people suffering with it feel very little self worth when they're at the lowest points, it's a very inwardly disorder and depressives have a tendency of turning everything as a personal attack and any let down could feel calculated or plotted.

I think you and your step dad are as much to blame as each other, there is no right or wrong here only two people failing to misunderstand each other. Try to think this story through from your mothers perspective, looking back my mother had to watch me beat the shit out of my dad when to be honest he hadn't really done much wrong, put me down at the wrong moment and i went skitz.

We are all human at the end of the day and we call all say things we don't mean or promise things that we intend on doing and never get round to it, his selling his truck is his perogative, quite frankly it's non of your business. If i was in his shoes and you were shouting at me for selling it i would flip and give you the beasting of a lifetime, you could have handled that much better as could he have handled certain situations better.

Violence is never the solution and looking back i hope for your sake you regret doing what you've done, sounds like your hormoans are all over the place.
