Violent dad 2!!! (getting worse)

after all the great advice on my other question(violent dad) I decided to talk to my dad about it. He got so angry cause he thought my brother had put me up to this that he smacked me across the face! I ran out of there and am now in my brothers new apartment. My brother felt so bad cause he knew my dad was not safe to be around but he couldn’t do nothing about it. I cried so much and am still really scared. The problem with calling the cops or some other place is that I dont want to lose my brother he is all I have left now and couldnt bare to go on without him. I dont know what to do.

Answer #1

stay with you brotha! screw that mofo you can do it :D

Answer #2

if youcall the cops. I dont think you will lose your brother 2… I think it is possible he can take coustody of you.. but you really need to do something.!!!

Answer #3

You need to call DCF (department of children and families), they can work with you and your brother. You are old enought to make the decision who you want to stay with, as long as your brother has a job and is not in High School.

Good Luck with Everything!!!

Answer #4

I totally agree with sooitca. I think that you’re in a safe place right now. Your brother is 18 and he is an adult and he can take care of you. I also wouldn’t go back to my dad either. I know its difficult to go to the cops for stuff so thats why I would also say talk to a student advisor in your school or a teacher that you trust a lot, and ask them what would be the best thing for you to do…they would know. Best of luck!

Answer #5

Thanks sooitca you have been so helpful x

Answer #6

call child services.

Answer #7

If you go to the police and social services they could possibly let you legally move in with your brother. But both of you would need to document the abuse. If you can prove that your dad is an alcoholic it would help a lot. I hope things work out for you but try to remember that anything would be better than living with your dad.

Answer #8

your brother could have called the police and you dad will be arrested what is your brother thinking by sending you back there. Call the cops doesn’t matter if your dad hits you or just taps your shoulder. Your brother needs to get his head out of his butt. Sending you back is the worst thing he could have done what if you don’t come out of that house alive the next time?

Answer #9

Have your brother become your legal guardian. Talk to someone you can trust aunt school counselor, pastor, or someone that know’s how your dad is. You do not have to live with fear of your father. It’s a bad situation. Pray and be strong at least you have your brother in your corner.

Answer #10

Its not my brothers fault! I am not old enough to move out unless my parent says so and my dad refuses to let me live with him! In question1 ( violent dad!!) you will see if you read it that my brother is just as much as a victim as I am!!!

sorry if I seemed snappy or nasty I dont mean too its just my brother is like a second dad to me and has stuck by me no matter what. Believe me if he could get me to live with him then he would.

sorry again.

Answer #12

You aren’t in a safe place with your brother. Your brother is as afraid as you are. Love your brother for wanting to help but look at the bigger picture. And that’s you are your only hope. And think hard about why he does it. Aviod him or do what will hurt not only him but your heart. That is have him put behind bars. If the police see your face they will take matters in their own hands He will back off then 10 years a lot of time. But you could end up in forster care. REAL TALK’

Answer #13

stay with you’re brother, dont go back!

Answer #14

ok, the ball is, officially, in your dads court! as in, he has made the BIGGEST mistake he could ever do, and now, you musn’t go to him, he must come and grovel to you ( I am a mum and I would GROVEL!!!)

DO NOT GO BACK!

tell you brother that your dads actions are neither his responsibility or his fault…

there is only one person here to blame, and that’s your dad.

I can’t believe his slapped you!!1 seriously, regardless of his drinking…

he is in serious denial about his drinking and doesn’t want to take responsibility for his actions, so he’s trying to pass it of onto your brother…

if your brother is happy for you to stay there, stay!

are you still at school? college? if so, speak to your personal tutor or your reception teacher and explain the situation…

this situation is now out of your hands, your dad made it impossible for you to help him deal with this when he became violent to you…

you and your brother have nothing to feel bad about, what ever your dads excuses or who he blames his actions on, you are his children and it’s your job to make bad decision, it’s his job to guide you…what sort of guidance is he offering..

as I said, I woulnd’t go back…you’ve done your bit chicky…and he blew it…

I’m a daughter and a mum and I don’t think there is ANY reason for his behaviour or reaction…well done for trying though, at least you tried hunny xxx :)
