please help me. my friend she left her mom's house and her mom is abusive and now shes living with her dad permanetly because her parents recently divorced but now that she is living with her dad should either she or i tell her dad? she has a little brother too and he still lives with his mom sometimes but she doesnt hit him. just my friend (shes older). my mom said that the dad must know and they divorced so he probably knows about her behavior but i dont know if he does really. my friend said she things he doesnt know how serious it is so should we tell him? cause i dont want to tell him if he already knows and it be awkward but i know making sure he knows is more important and i think to myself if he knew she was abusive why would he let her stay with her mom? right?? thank you so much this is so important-thank you :) (link)

Well the divorce is between her father and her mother. This implies that he does not know that she was abusive toward her because she simply could be taking the divorce out on her. He definitely needs to know esp. with another sibbling in the house with her. I know your friend knows how it feels to be abused by her mother, and that she does not want her little brother to be abused. Also by telling her father, he will be able to get the authorities involved and get her mother some help. The cause of the abusive behavior may be fixable if she is given the help she needs, but you nor the rest of her family can help her because she is too dangerous so don't try to get involved. And believe me telling him about the abusive behavior will help and be a good thing. I have also experienced an abusive mother, and my father did not know until I was choked by her, it was not until that day that I got the message I should have told him when my mother began to abuse me that way I would not have to live a life of fear. So your friend and you should sit her father down and let him know what is going on. This way he can protect his family from the evils of his x-wife.
