Answer #1

u really just agree wit dem even dough u dont agree. just to let dem b quite faster lol

Answer #2

You need to talk to him. The way they are fighting is not okay, especially since all this is going on in front of you. Tell him how you really feel, sit down and explain to him how frightened you are and your concerns. Hopefully having his child explain how afraid she is will be enough to open his eyes and see whats going on. In the future…call an adult thats close by because you dont need to be in that type of environment. I know hes your father…but if hes becoming violent towards anyone you need to call the cops and have them handle the situation. That is domestic violence and its very serious….no one wants to call he authorities…but for your safety and your step moms you need to if this happens again. Especially when there is firearm involved.

Answer #3

its not funny i know if my dad looses it why im gone the next time i might see my step mum is in a open casscet cermony

Answer #4

in your case, let the cops know everything that went on. they need to be seperated, this is something that you shouldn’t have to worry about at your age. It’s d@mn foolish for him to behave like that.

Answer #5

ya calling the cops is really not an option for me

  1. my dad IS a cop
  2. my step mum slapped him first for calling her a stupid w.h.ore b,i,t,c,h so technically in the cops eyes she made first move so its on her and she dosent desver blame for him edging her on
Answer #6

It doesnt matter if he is a cop or not…domestic violence is serious and you need to call the authorities next time anything escalates. Also, even if she did slap him first, he still went to far and he put his hands on her as well. The cops arent stupid…they can see whats going on when they get there. You shouldnt be having to deal with this and its horrible that your father is putting you through this….call the cops when it happens or call an adult that you trust that can call them for you.

Answer #7

Think about what made them flip out, and don’t do it again…

Answer #8

tell him that you are gonna live with your mom until he can get his act straight. if thats not an option, talk to him. id straight up tell him that he is a disgrace to the cop uniform if he does this kinda crap

Answer #9

Answer #12

Joshua, your answer is totally inappropriate…

Answer #13

I don’t think he read the whole question. He probably assumed it was a routine parent to sibling argument.

Answer #14

Hey, 11 inch idiot- this is NOT a lol matter…

Answer #15

yet calling me names is totally appropriate? ha. i wasnt laughing at anyones misfortune so calm down

Answer #16

im sorry i didnt read the whole thing.

Answer #17

Parents want the best for you and love you. I know because I am one, but at the same time they are human. b You can try to talk to them. Be respectful and have a convesation with them and find out why they are so upset after you calm down.

Answer #18

You talk to him, or you talk to your step mom. You can talk to your dad and let him know that it’s better for him to calm down and to not let things go far, he’s a cop, so you could remind him that this might be risking his job and you don’t want that. It looks like he is traying to not loose control but then again he is loosing it, let him know how this makes you feel and your fears about what might happen when you leave away to have a visit with your mom. Also you could talk to your step mom, let her know your fears as well and tell her that it might be good if they just kept distance from eachother to sort things out and such, so nobody is getting hurt and messing up. You could try your best and talk to them, but the truth is, is that it wont do any good if they are not willing to stop themselfs and do something about it, Best thing to do is to talk to them, do your part and just leave it all how it is, because you are also causing yourself stress traying to solve something that is not really in your hands. Your dad and step mom are adults and their problems are their responsibility.

Answer #19

just cause a person is a cop that doesn’t mean they’re immune from arrest.

Answer #20

agree then after your done fighting hug her and tell her that she/he looks good lol
