Q:
I'm just really scared right now. My dad has
just got finished with hitting me over and
over again and he took a plastic hanger and
just keep whacking me with it on my toes. And
that kills! I kept trying to run away but I
was too in shock to move out of his reach and
my sister doesn't think anything of it because
he does it a lot so she thinks that's what your
supposed to do. After watching my dad hit me,
my sister frequently elbows me or punches me in
the stomach if we play hide and seek and she loses.
My parents buy my sister everything and play games
with her and treat her well but they treat me
like I'm a piece of crap. They call me "a piece
of shit" and "a waste of space." And they threatened
to send me to a shrink and never let me see my
family again. My relatives gossip to everyone if
I tell them my dad hit me and they don't believe
me so I can't tell them. I will NEVER tell my
friends because even though I love them dearly,
I couldn't trust them with that. Also, I hate my
guidance counselor and I just can't tell him. After
my dad hit me I had my hand on the phone and I
was just about to dial 911 but I got scared and
stopped. I did it once before but my parents
denied everything. Once I was on vacation and
my parents were verbally abusing me and this
lady heard and called the police but my parents
denied everything. Sometimes I give my parents
a reason to hit me like if we are in a fight
but I don't know I'm really scared to come out
of my room right now. I need all the advice I
can get and if you believe I should call a number
and tell them what's going on who do I call?
I want a professional. But if they take me away
from the parents, where will I live? I really
don't want to live with strangers in an
orphanage! Would they put me at a friend's
or relatives house? I'm just really scared and
I don't really want to leave my parents. But they
can be abusive and I don't know how much longer
I can put up with it! Help!!!!!
Sorry this is soo long.
