Foam, maybe you can take this opportunity to talk to your Mom today.

I would suggest that you start with "I should have hung up the phone" and "I shouldn't have sworn at Dad" but.........."Dad shouldn't be hitting me either".

Share with her that you don't feel your Dad listens to you and see what she has to say about it. But when she answers you.....you have to listen too.

Have a great day......tell us all about the pound if you go.
