What would he be angry about, that you are causing a rift in the family? That you are trying to get attention? Is it about what they are not doing for you or is it more about the fact you feel empty and sad inside and are having trouble coping with life right now? If he or your mom feel uncomfortable dealing with emotions, feelings and talking, can you ask them if you can see a counselor? Would that freak them out and embarass them?
I totally understand that you don't feel like hassling with it right now. It's exhausting. I'm trying to think of ways to build up your emotional strength so you can feel brave enough to do this. I know it's tough.
I don't know your whole situation, but you do have to explain it to your parents - how your thoughts evolved to the point they are at right now. Children are a mystery to us adults. We remember what it was like, but each one of you are different and see things differently than we did. Sometimes we need a little guidance from you :-)! It may only take a few words or conversations to get your point across and then he may get it.
Please do what's best for you right now. Whatever that is, I support you. I just want you to find some relief!!!
