Can you take your dad/insurance company to small claims court?
From what you have said, your relationship with your dad is not a familial one, so make it a business deal.

I have tought about that... but my dad lives with my mom and if i did that i would be cutting my mom out of my life too... he controls her and will forbid her from talking to me... he did it with my sister and that feud lasted over 15 years.. i grew up having to sneak around to see my sister

If I were you, I would tell them they can have your couch for their new home. They can have it cleaned.

They need to buy you a new couch, of your liking for a similar price. (let them make the payments)


And then ask Dad to come, bring Bondo and paint tools and fill and sand all the marks on the doors, windows, baseboard trim and prime.

Then you can pick out the color of the paint you want and have a nice fresh room.

It's YOUR HOUSE. Get the freakin' dog OUT.

Dad sounds like a meanie poopy head...

Id keep the dog in the cage amd tough luck to your dad if he dont like it. If he cant pay for his dogs damages for the true amount then dog dont get treated like hes use to. I keep my own younger dog outside when im not home cuz he will chew up the house. Do what you can and try your ins company. Good luck im so sorry about it all.

Dar, I get your frustration. No one is willing to work with you. Take the freaking crate and put it in the garage and lock him up. If your dad doesn't like it, he can take it elsewhere. And there will be anger for a while, but he will get over it. You are his little girl. Time for you to stop letting him run the ship.

I agree with what everyone is saying about your parents paying damages. This is your house, not only is it now technically not worth as much as it was before, but the longer that dog is there, running around it is going to get worse. You Dad expects you to respect him, correct? Well By God that goes both ways, he needs to FREAKIN respect that this is your house, the one you have worked hard for, the one his little BRAT is tearing to shreds.

Option 1 ) Parents pick up the dog after giving you a fair amount for repairing damages

Option 2) Dog stays, crated , parents pay for damages

Option 3) Parents do not give a rats behind, you take dog to the pound and sue the pants off them for the damages.....


Personally, because I am just redneck enough....... I would go with Option 3

I would never treat my parents property with disrespect and they would never treat mine that way either.


Your Dad, and I know at the end of the day he is still your dad, but he is a Disrespectful Jerk! He needs to be

into next week !!!!!

I'll be another one to say it....

Take him to court!!

Don't let him strongarm you.. don't let him threaten you over your mother. If she wants to see you, she will. If she can't, you'll just call the authorities about it, wont you?

Take him to court for all the damages. Take photos. Yes, you would win in court... most definitely and without a doubt. Judges don't have too much sympathy for destruction caused by others animals.
Take photos, photos, photos! Gather any and all photos you have before the dog was there. Print out any email/letter references, or bring to court with you any witnesses to show he would/was threatening to keep you from your mother over it.

For the love of mike... at least put the dog outside. Tie him up, or whatever.

Just because your sister is playing the doormat, doesn't mean you have to!

If he really wants you to 'buck up' .... show him how you choose to 'buck up'! Against him!
