advice

My dad has always had a pretty big temper. He has definentaly put me into tears from his yelling quite a few times, and when ever i stand up for my self he just gets worse. well for the most part its never gotten to bad, but lately he has been terrible. Ususally my mom is in a good mood and she gets him to let up a bit but she got mad at me a week ago and lately she hasnt been helping me out. For the past week when ever im just minding my own buisiness he comes into my room and screams at me, and when ever i make a tiny mistake he wont let me foget it and rubs it in my face. Well last night i had a friend sleep over and we wanted o play quiji board. so we got it from my room which it right next to my parents room. well when we finished up we brought the board back up and we were litterally only in my room for 2 seconds when my dad walks in and brings me down stairs and begins to scream at me. saying how i had been up stairs making noise in front of his door for 20 minutes, he brings his face super close to mine and says really scarily next time you wake me up im going to be going to jail cause im gonna hit you so hard. then he screams how stupid i am until im finally in tears, and i try to defend myself and he says do you think im a liar, do you think im stupid, and he starts walking towards me, if it weren't for my brother being home for collage i swear he would have hurt me. i went back upstairs tears all down my face, my friend had heard everything. he always yells at me and calls me stupid and blames everything on me and i dont think im strong enough to take it. and when i tell my mom what he did she just reacts how she always does "dont worry ill talk to him'. but things never get better. advice please. thanks for taking the time to read this.

Wow. Well, as long as your brother's home, you're safe. But that's verbal abuse (especially threatening you) and I think you should go to someone you trust, other than your brother. He has no right to put you down like that and your mother should do something but since she's obviously not, you should go to another adult (guidance counselor, teacher, family friend) that you trust and tell them your problem. You're not gonna want to at first but I promise that when you tell them, you'll feel a lot better. I hope this helped. Good luck!
