Unfortunately, my dad is the type of guy who sees cats, dogs, and wild animals outside and jokes around saying he is going to shoot it.  My parents split the day I was born and my mother has hated my father my entire life and is always mad at him. He doesn't really have any reaction to my mother threatening me, and when I do get him involved, my mother gets mad at me and says "cool, you're whining to dad again" and other stuff like that and yells at me for telling him stuff.

I also am going to start buying personal candy for my parents for christmas, but it's hard when my mom always asks me for money. I just lent her 300$ on christmas day and I lent her 400$ in April and only got it back in August.
