I don't understand why he wont.
I posted another question a few days ago about my Dad. But, for I think four or five years, I've been praying that my Dad would stop yelling. My mom has been praying since the day I was born that he would stop. He cusses, screams, you name it at me and my family. I can't take it. I'm crying typing this. I thought God answered all prayers. Why can't he answer this one?

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
i promise you, that God has not turned a deaf ear towards your crys. in his due time, God will fix it. he'll do it when everyone has lost all hope. BUT you still gotta have faith. don't fall now, you've come to far. keep praying, keep seeking God, and God shall seek you. i hope this helps.
God bless

With abuse, only one person (or deity) can help you - yourself. You need to leave and do all you can to take your mom with you.

I'm sorry.
But if God were to answer such a prayer, it would be messing with HIS free will.

I don't believe your mom's and your prayers have gone unheard, that is for sure.
My opinion on the spirituality part of your question? I believe god answers all prayers, but not necessarily in the way you would think or exactly want.
Maybe he has answered your prayers in the fact that he is trying to make you a stronger person. I think he likes to test us in this life to see if we are worthy of the life beyond.
I know you realize how hurtful your dad can be, and maybe the answer to your prayer is that you have learned a life lesson from that and choose to be better than that in this life. That will be your strength.
My opinion on the reality part of your situation? You should never put up with abuse from anyone. God never intended for you to be abused verbally, mentally, or physically.
Do you attend a church? If so, have you discussed your problems with your church leader? (pastor, priest, etc.) You can talk to them and it would be kept private. They cannot tell anyone what you talk about.
If you haven't talked to them, do it. They know you, and they can advise you as to what would be the best thing for you to do in your special situation. That is a part of their job.

Wow! Hearing your dad yell and curse at your family has got to be difficult for you, and I applaud you for turning to God for His help!
First of all, God WILL answer your prayers, but it will be on His time. This can be difficult, since we tend to want things on our time, but in the end, we may realize that God's timing was that way for a reason! So don't give up! 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says "Pray without ceasing." God will answer your prayers at the best time for you.
Also, keep your heart open for His answer! God can reveal things to us in so many different ways, and it may or may not be a clear as daylight answer, or result in your dad's immediate change. Have daily quiet time with God, read through the Scriptures, and talk with a Christian friend or church leader, so you can allow God to speak to you in as many ways possible.
But most importantly, trust God! He won't let you down, he loves you too much. Even though this trial in your life may seem like too much for you and your family to deal with right now, God will never give you more than you can handle. You may find down the road that this strengthened your faith in ways you never could have guessed! So keep an open mind, and trust God. If you need some inspiration, read 1 Chronicles, chapter 5.

Been there, done that. It didn't get any better for me.
What I ended up doing when the yells and cursing was going on - I softly stated that if he couldn't converse in a nice manner, then I don't need to hear it. Then walked away, either to my room, took a walk outside or to a friends house.
God hears prayers, He wants you to prosper and be in health in ALL things. 3 John 1:2
But God doesn't come down to Earth and change people, your Dad has to take that step. Free will power and all that jazz.
But you can take the next step. Sit down with your mom, dad (both, either) or write a letter stating that you aren't comfortable in this envirnment and you feel (yadda, yadda, etc)
Next neither parent may not be up to changing and verbal abuse leads to physical abuse. Talk to a family member, a teacher or a counsler to see what your options are for other housing.

I've been there. Have you actually sat down and talked to your dad about it? i know its hard to do it but sit down and have a calm, relaxed conversation with him about it. Dont get upset or anything cause that will just make him yell. Running away wont solve anything that will make things worst. Maybe both you and your mom should talk to him. Talk to a counselor at school she/he can help you. He has anger management issues that need to be taken care of before they get worse. HOpe i helped. Leave one in my inbox if you need to talk or anything.

There is really nothing you can do but maybe someday he'll stop but just keep praying. God always answers prayers and he could have already answered this one. Everyone one has to go through difficult things and if they didn't they wouldn't be able to get stronger and learn everyone needs to take tests that will make them stronger or else you wouldn't be able to make it through this life.
