Oh Kay Ann - so sorry your feeling so bad. YOU must feel very angry with whats going on with your Dad - believe me when adults are in pain - we tend to lash out (not physically!) at those nearest to us - and we don't want our children suffering for/with us - but we don't realise our lovely daughters are no longer children - but very grown up young ladies who we should share are thoughts and feelings with. Try and let your dear Dad know that you WANT to talk and share things with him. He make take some convincing - but I'm sure he will slowly realise that you can actually help - share his thoughts and maybe pains.

Is there anyone at school you can talk your problems over with - or any adult - mum, auntie, grandma or big sister? You sound quite depressed to me and maybe a trip to the doctor might be needed.

Your Simba sounds a wonderful dog and he obviously loves you as much as you love him - thats lovely.
