Is it ever the smart thing to tell your parents how they make you feel? It doesn't sound like it would be. But I really feel like just going and talking to my dad and asking him if he knows how much more he makes me want to hurt myself or runaway.

What's it matter?

Depends on how you go about it. Be mature and calm about it, an he may listen.

Well, I guess technically it would depend on what kind of parents you have and how they tend to respond, but in a lot of situations, yes, it is beneficial. I think a lot of it depends on the approach, though. If someone just came up to someone and started blaming them for something, automatically that person will go on the defensive and not be very willing to listen. However, if you're mature about it, and you try to explain your point of view clearly, and how he fits into this, you might have a much better chance of getting things resolved. Maybe you want to plan out a little what you want to say, just because it can be hard to say exactly what you mean right off the bat sometimes. Or, if you really think he may not respond well, write it down in a letter. Give it to him, give him some time to process it and think about it, and then have the discussion. He would then have some time to calm down, if he didn't respond well, and you wouldn't have to go through the initial reaction.

Just a couple of ideas. =)
