Glad to hear you are feeling better.  The new year starts Saturday, so like chargermike said, start it off with a big smile, things will surely look up for you!!

Definitley glad you're feeling better about it. Like a few others said, people tend to do or say things before we think.

My son started working for me when he was still in school at 16 years old. One day one of the older employees told me that I was pushing him too hard. I really didn't take the advice too well but then I realised that I really was pushing him harder than I did the older guys. I guess I was expecting more from him than I did anyone else even though he had only been there a short time.  So, I guess we all screw up from time to time, and sometimes we need to be reminded that we're only human.

Hmm I never considered posting here for some help but now that I know it will be received well.................

How old are you?  From looking at the pictures of your car I'd say you don't have a problem yet!

I'd like to help but I got my own problems!  SO YOU SEE YOU AREN'T ALONE!!

Is your dad a drinker?
I remember one of my uncles being ignorant (and drunk) and my dad telling me sometimes an older guy will see a young man with his life ahead of him and doing well and may be jeleous.

I'm not sure if a father would look at a son that way or not.

I remember taking a walk years ago and hearing a father & son argument and the kid was so angry he was screaming at his old man, who was very calm and egging him on.  So I thought.  I remember thinking I wasn't the only one then.  Maybe he thought the kid needed to be pushed or toughened up?? Who knows.

Hey Riot (can I call you Riot? ), it's good to hear you gained some clarity over the past couple days. Explore all options: as the saying goes "kick the can down the road" (you don't have to make anything a final decision yet). I hope your situation keeps improving.

The support shown to other members (car knowledge and personal life problems) is what makes this the best site on the internet!!!

glad to hear you are feeling better.  Dads and sons.  Man, that's loaded with potential for hurt feelings.  Even a "great" dad will struggle relating to a son sometimes.  Not to give your dad a pass on this, but even on the best day, it can be hard for the best of men. 

I look at my boy and a yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotta be a parent and all that.  But... with boys, there's also the added "I gotta make a man out of him"  this is real because dad's should do this.  Not by hitting to toughen up, but by showing and teaching them how to "man up" in this world.  That covers everything from standing up when necessary to honoring your word, showing up for work every day etc.....

Just a little food for thought. IN the end, you would be best served to be the bigger man and just accept him for what he is even though he seems to have trouble doing that with you.  It blows that you have to be the grownup and take the higher road, that's his job.  But it is what it is and some day when he's gone and you have to tell your own kids that you didn't get along with their grampa, it will be easier if you know you did everything you could to make it work.

You could join the Marines....anyways here some advice for you in the future. When you look back, and if you feel any resentment, ask yourself this, could you trust the perception of things now (future) based on the perception of a kid......Anyways, when I was your age......I was 17.

remember this.. No matter what is said, someone out there cares about you.  Find peace with yourself and do what makes you happy.  Do not sell the charger, that will make you sad...  Jesus loves you and so does your Charger     You just have to get past the anger and hurt you feel, and find the things in life that can and will make you happy.  Someday you can look back on this and forgive and work it out.  For now sure it hurts, but later it wont be so bad.  Life is ups and downs, look forward to the UPS
