I miss them so much..?
im born and raised in norway by one norwegian mother, and a middle-eastern father. im now sixteen currently attending at high school. My father is 59 years old, bitter, angry and many times when he say something, it is always his word that matter. I've observed how he acts and i've noticed that everytime he acuses someone of something,(and makes a bigger thing about it than it really is) but then finds out he is wrong, he suddenly finds another excuse, just to feel right. He doesnt say "im sorry". that is so "typical western" he says. And sometimes im confused because sometimes I really love my dad, is that maybe because of the gifts he gives me at my birthday/christmas? Now, my mothers side of the family. I hardly know them, they used to and we (me my brother and my mom not my dad he didnt want to) used to travel to them to be together. Now that we are talking about my dad not wanting to go. He is so weird. He is also very greedy. This one time, we were planning on painting the whole house(inside), my dad talked to a few polish painters, and what he said when they left was: Those polish cant paint. and they want that much money? The second reason why my father didnt want anyone to paint our house was because he didnt want them to use the bathroom. Come on! We are all humans for f**k sake.. So what really happened was that he did the whole thing by himself just because of that. Anyways, the other part of our family, I love them. But I am only sixteen, i cant move out yet. and I cant imagine how my father must feel if I leave.. Any tips/good word of advice? Thank you in advance. Best Regards.

I can understand your frustration with your Dad and at your age that is normal. You are becoming a man who will one day branch out on your own. Middle eastern men have nprmally (not always) a very autocratic mentality - they are the head of the house and what they says goes. But they normally love their children very much. Western society is more equal between husband and wife (generally speaking) . May I suggest you just bide your time and study hard and try to stay clear of your father when he is in his dark moods and it won;t be long before you are off to University and then eventually you will have a good job and then can decide where you want to live. Hang in there mate ... you'll be right (eventually) - obviously you are more Norwegain than middle eastern right? Incidentally painting the house himself is an illustration of his 'stingyness' not 'Greed'. Good luck ............MGD
