What if you dislike one of your parents?

[Anonymous]

I dislike my dad.

That's ok. You don't have to like your parents. It's your life. Spend time with people you like.

[AngryCarl2]

Only one? That's not too bad. My Dad was a jerk.

[HelpfulWoman]

so? has he actually done anything to deserve dislike?

[Asker]

He is overbearing and pokes at me and tries to make me feel guilty, like less of a person sometimes, for not doing everything his way.

[Asker]

He’s also cold and emotionally distant.

[HelpfulWoman]

then i get why there's dislike. Make sure you set clear boundaries with him on what you don't like happening. And follow through if he doesn't listen.
I dislike my mother because she was emotionally and sometimes physically abusive, so I don't speak to her at all now. And I'm honestly better for it. So cutting off could be an option, but simple dislike may be worth distancing yourself but staying in low contact.

I hate my parents, but I got over it and moved on.

[Anonymous]

Stay away from them , I dislike then both

[Asker]

You dislike both your parents?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes.

[Asker]

That can’t be easy. But I know personalities can clash.

[Opinion Owner]

Well, they were too nosey and forced me to take the career they wanted me to but I left

[Asker]

They sound overbearing.

[Opinion Owner]

Yep, you should leave too as soon as you get a job

[Asker]

I definitely will.

[Opinion Owner]

Good luck!

[Asker]

I’ve got a job recently, so as soon as I’m financially secure, I will
