Before I start I just want to say that I appreciate all the help. My father and I usually get a long pretty well but every once in a while there will be a verbal conflict. This is common but lately it's been happening more. Today my father almost came at me with fists luckily my mother stopped him. All these fights lately have made me very depressed. It seems everything I do doesn't please him. It's almost as he doesn't like me at all. Today especially I've been suicidal a bit. I've been carrying my pocket knife all day in case something broke out. I don't want anyone to get hurt I just want to make up with my dad and improve our relationship. I need tips from anybody who's had these issues on how to improve our relationship. Again I thank you but this was my first place to turn because I don't want it to blow up in a big deal. I appreciate all your help.
