Just because your mom brushes it off and your dad buys you nice stuff after, doesn’t mean it’s not abuse. Throwing things when angry and destroying people’s property is abusive. I know you have to interact with your father since you live there but I would try to avoid things that cause arguments when possible to avoid him reacting like that. Maybe you can talk to your mom about how all of this makes you feel. She can support you through it and give you tips on how to handle it. She might even be willing to talk to your dad for you and tell him how his behaviors are affecting you. Remember that no matter what, it is not your fault that your father acts like that when he’s angry.


The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
