Hail Satan!
I know this might be off topic and I'm sorry, but brother, how did you solve that problem?
Since I was little my dad was smocking and dinking alot and he even was verbally abusive in general. He was screaming even when I made just a little mistake. Whatever I said that he didn't liked it made him angry and he was scary for me as a child, I got even scared to be in opposition with someone's opinion. It's like I always try to please someone just because of my fear of being in opposition. When I was 4-5 years old my grandma and dad cast me and mom away and we needed to stay at my aunt's house (she was in Italy at that time).
Even most of my male friends are verbally abusive, fck now I realize that, and some are alcoholic like my dad. They really have a bad influence on me, and I try to please them..(well now i try to get rid of them.. so for now I'm pretty much isolated).
How can I get rid of this problem? What worked for you?
