Please help me, horrible situation ennaku
Hi! I am 25M. Im a single child & late born. My parents are in their early 60s. I work in an IT company. I had moved to a different city for work in August 2022. The very same year my dad left the family business and retired. His retirement has nothing to do with me starting my career. God’s grace we are wealthy and my parents have passive income sources and are independent. I really need not have to work in IT , I could just take care of the existing income sources and try developing the other properties, But rather choose to go & work in IT for self-respect and freedom [ in my community, arranged marriage would become difficult for a guy without job :( ] I keep visiting my hometown almost every month, its mostly to get my clothes washed and ironed. Since I don’t have any commitments, my salary is spent lavishly. I live in a single occupancy PG for ₹17k. (It is a bit expensive). I don’t know to cook, so i rely on Swiggy and burn out more cash. Now, coming to the main issue. My dad is a egoistic, narcissistic, liar & arrogant person. He had physical abused me and my mom. In the Past few years.. the number of occurrences has reduced but he hasn’t completely changed. He did lay his hand on us 6 months back. He keeps instigating me & my mom and waits for us to react, once we react he starts verbally abusing us. This is his hobby. Dad side relatives are even horrible than him, best word would be evil. Basically, everyone knows about him in both sides of the family. Even today, he spoilt the atmosphere of the home. I really don’t know what to do? My mom is no less. Despite knowing his mentality, she retaliates and due to which there is more tension and bad vibes at home. It is expected behaviour from my dad’s side and yet she reacts and then there is a BIG BANG! I understand that every human has tolerance and only when it crosses, people react.. but with a psycho like my dad, who goes to any extent while abusing it becomes traumatic to listen to such stuff. My parents have Zero compatibility. My mom expects perfection and wants everything to be oriented, while my dad has a monkey mind, in extreme opposite to my mom’s mindset. These income sources require periodic maintenance and repair. My dad in the name of being frugal, he is being a miser. Due to which these properties require revamping and repairs. My mom & I have multiple times told him, pls give us an opportunity to fix these issues.. he has declined it and this topic has arose multiple times and ends up with fight. Later I realised that, it is hard to change his mind, let him do whatever he wants. Earlier i used to hate my dad alone, but now i hate both of them. I am literally counting days at home. I didn’t take leave for Christmas & new year, so i can atleast pretend like i am busy and avoid them to an extent. In my work city (bangalore), i an having issues with food and laundry which is why i come home very often. I really don’t know what to do. At times i think of distancing myself from my family and avoid them. But that’s when my dad’s wealth and family assets come to my mind. Frankly speaking, as mentioned above i am spending my salary lavishly only because I my dad & mom have savings. (Yes, I am tolerating all this bullshit for MONEY. All these are ancestors properties.) My mom said try to endure and not loose your cool, who else do we have, you are going to inherit all the wealth, so shut up and try to adjust with dad. ( it is kinda a true, if i was talented enough and had a good salary i would have shown my dad the middle finger and went away… yes, i might seem like an opportunist, but i had to go through a lot of pain to say this, that too on my own dad) My mom keeps saying that i am not smart enough to deal with all these and i can be easily fooled, so put down your ego and learn from him the survival skills. (Our family assets require legal and other maintenances which is something i really don’t know, like dealing with people and stuff.. tbh i am very passive and not street smart enough. I am a person who is very soft and sensitive… mom says i could get eaten by the cunning people out there) I am scared to discuss all this with any known person. I don’t have friends to socialise too. I really don’t know what to do. I am not able to deal with the toxicity at home. I am not smart enough to prove my worth and take over all the responsibility of the properties and income sources. (Also my dad is not ready to handover the management to me, as he is a bit obsessed with it) I am scared to take responsibility and I am also complaining on stuff not being proper.. which is a wrong equation. My parents are asking me to move back to my home to and do some job here, to which i initially agreed but after seeing the situation at home, I am scared to stay here completely. At least now i have an option to go away when i am completely pissed with my parents. Due to bad health & habits, I lost a lot of hair and need good food for which i visit home often. Now i am scared to do that as well. I am leading a looser’s life Pls suggest what to do (I am considering all the answers I get as god sent, cuz a week ahead for 2025… hope i get to reform myself)14
