Question Posted Wednesday September 7 2005, 5:36 pm
sorry if this is long but i REALLY need help. my parents have been planning to get a divorce for the longest time.. but my mom is really scared of my dad thats why she never did.. but shes finally going through with it. however we seriously think my dad has pyschological problems.. hes been in a great depression after he lost his job, years ago. their selling the house and my dad isnt going to let my mom have a penny from it. he wants to win the house.. and hes said that he'll fight untill death untill he wins the house.. he said he doesnt care if my mom has 100 lawyers.. she still wont get any share of the house. my dad is trying to sell it and he has everything under HIS names..and he has another account that he doesnt use.. so can he really win the house??
hes hit my mom before and me and my siblings.. hes not letting my mom use the car so she has to ride a bike to work.. and he hid her passports and everything.. my mom got a lawyer.. but today they were arguing again and my mom had to call the police because my dad was threatening to kill her.. but he denied it and the police couldnt do anyhting. he also taps into the house phone and listens to everyones phone calls, which is an evasion of privacy because hes convinced that my mom has cheated. one night i had to sleep with my sister in my room, locked, with a knife underneath my bed. were all terrified and we know he is going to do something crazy.. because there is something pyschologically wrong with him..sooner or later hes just going to snap.. because NOONE is on his side and hes going to lose custody of us and everything so hes crazy.. we have to do something before it gets worse..my friends mom is telling us to get an order of protection and get him taken from the house.. but if we do that will only make things worse and he will probably try and kill my mom if he comes out.. PLEASE HELP WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!
by the way i live in new york so the laws may be different.
