My dad thinks his lectures never sink in, but I think about them all the time?

I haven't had a lecture for awhile, but instead of relief I feel like a big one is coming. These lectures have done me more harm then good cause they tend to pull down my self esteem. The lectures consist of me sitting there for several hours and being told whats wrong w/the way i live my life. Many times things are blown out of proportion. Sometimes off the wall things are said I was shocked when my dad told me that even druggies have more to show then me (what?). I do not do drugs or drink in excess btw. I love my dad and really proud of the way he raised me, but this is one thing I hate the most. Also he is a person who does no wrong so talking about how I feel isn't possible (I tried once and it became another lecture). How can I heal myself from these lectures and not think about them everyday?

    "These lectures have done me more harm then good cause they tend to pull down my self esteem."

    Well maybe that's a smart way of thinking then. Maybe since you can already work out finding stuff that you need and don't need in life....you should talk to him about it.

    Maybe he can learn to trust you to learn to stand on your own and just support you rather than guide you.

    And maybe I am completely wrong. You seem pretty smart about all of this, best voice it and act on it ;) I think you'll manage just fine.

    But the comment on the druggies....well that's rough seriously...sounds pretty harsh. Did you speak that over ? Best not to let things fester least you want them to infect

    First, if you live at your Dad's house please leave. You have learned enough from him to make it on your own, the rest is up to you.
    One day when your Dad says or does something wrong you can remind him of what he said. Right now he thinks "do as I say, not as I do."
