Another form of torture

I hate my family. ever since my mom died, my dad has been...basically, a jerk. he got married last year to the devil..I really dont like her, she is so cruel, and to make it worse, she has a daughterwho treats everyone like sh*t. when something goes...

wrong in my dad's lif, I get blamed for it..I dont know why. he gets mad and he yells and curses and just smacks me and my little sis around. I avoid havng people come over...cause he is even mean to my friends. the other day when my best friend kaitlyn came over, we accidentally spilled a glass of water, my dad saw it happen, and before we could even start to clean it up, he grabbed me by the arm and started yelling...it was just a glass of water right??? I still have a bruise in the shape of his hand on my arm..its not like he is an alcoholic or anything., he never drinks. so im not sure why he is like that. I just dont know what to do...I try to get away from him, but he hardlylet me leave the house...what should I do? ignore it and wait until I move out?? pleeease help if you can

there is no ignoring it but my mom was abbusive to me as well and I reported her countless times and she would get nice for awile then back to the same old thing!!
I thank god was not far from 18 so I moved the hell out of there and got my own place

I think you cant do anything bout it but just be nice and do what your dad told you so to avoid some you know..whatever it is that you're going through.. just be cool and dont think about it too much and stop being negative..you're attracting it..stop thinking about what you don't like...focus on things you like..GL!

Hi chrysta.m very sympathetic abt your situation.y dont you report the matter.I mean your dads really an asshole and I gez he needs 2 learn a few thngs abt parenting.God.my mother o my daddy wudnt even raise their voices @ me.once he did and when I startd cryn he apologised and neva did it agn!m so sorry.but really if u'l stay quiet abt it den he'l start getn mo abusive.All the best doll!

You can't just ignore it, you have to report him. Tell a teacher at school (or any adult there). Ignoring it would be the absolute worst thing you can do because it could get worse.

Now I have a question for you. Do you think that maybe your dad is taking his anger for losing your mom out on you? When someone dies a lot of people lash out at the people they are closest to...it's not right and it's definately not going to help him. Maybe by reporting him it would force him to go to counseling and then he could eventually become the daddy that you've always loved.

I wish you all the best and remember that you have to protect yourself and your little sister

Thats kinda sad dear. Why Dont you try moving in to your grandparents? Uncles? With your siblings?

Pray To Oneness of God.

Hope I can Help
