my dad abuses me. mentally and emotionally, sometimes even beats me. i have asked this question before. i have gone to all the hotlines on the internet, but i am scared to tell anyone.
if it helps, my dad was beat and touched by his parents. it has been going on for....4 years maybe. well hes done it all my life, but not this bad. he makes fun of me all the time, so does my stepmom. i live with my dad, but im going to try to go to court to live with my mom. please help me.

personally i would tell my really really close friend's parents

no one deserves this and if he makes you think that you made him do it forget about him
you need to get help and you can't just live your life like this.. im guessing your young and you should be happy not sad,
get out of the house
forget about your stupid dad and stepmom

im sure your mom will get you

Wow, um, tell everyone. well maybe not "everyone" but you get the point right? you want people to know whats happenin g to you, even tell police or scream or keep a phone under your pillow, or a walkie-talkie with your friends so your friends know when this is happening to you and can come and get you. you need to stay away from him && his wife for a long time. they can't do that to you, its not right, just don't spend any of your time at that house,stay away from them, tell all of your friends, do not keep it bottled up, because if you do, when you grow up & possibly have kids or something you might do this to them. my dad abused my brother once & almost killed my mom but they got away, keep a phone near you all the time whenever your at home. so you can immediently call 911. good luck, be strong, and fight...alot. :]

Like the others said; you have to tell someone. You probably don't want to but its only going to get worse from here. Spend the night at a close friends house and if you can trust them and their family, tell their parents the situation and ask them what you should do. Or, while at the friends house, call your mom and tell her whats going on. Tell her that you dont feel safe at home anymore and you want to live with her. If your brave enough, tell your dad that hes just like his parents were to him, although you might get a beating for that one so you might wanna just keep your mouth shut. Best of luck.

You have to call 911or your mom or something. If he abuses you, the court will give your mom custodity to you in a snap, so don't worry. just do it. you deserve better.

You really need to tell someone. I know you don't want to, but it's either that or continue getting abused. Go to an aunt, friend, your mom ; someone you trust; for a few days. Then, explain to them what's going on. They'll understand and call the police or social services. I know you love your dad, but no one should go through abuse. You never know if something little will tick him off, and he'll go off, and something really bad might happen. I've known three people who have died through abusive relationships. One of them, he was an alcoholic, and one thing just pissed him off, and he killed her. I'm not trying to scare you or anything, but you really need to get out of the house for a few days. I know you don't want to, but that's what's best for you. Good luck with the court hearing. I hope everything turns out okay. Sorry about your situation.

Tell the police. They can protect you, there is no reason to be scared, they will make sure you are safe. You can file abuse charges and then go to court so your mother can get full custody of you. But nothing will change if you don't tell someone. Please Contact the police and tell them you are being abused, or tell anyone, a coach, a neighbor, another relative, tell your mother.

listen:
you HAVE to tell someone no matter how much you love your father
its going to be hard but you have to do it
that way you and your father can go to court and sort things out
you will still be able to see him even if he goes to jail--just please tell the police, i wish you the best of luck

christina answered Wednesday July 18 2007, 12:23 pm:
I'm incredibly sorry about your position, and I wish you the best of luck if you happen to go to court.


However, for now, you need to stay somewhere else. Try staying with a friend & switch it up a bit until it's alright for you to go home. If it'll never be alright for you to go home, call social services & have them take you out of your home & have them place you with your mother. Then go to court & have the judge grant her full custody of you.


You don't need to take this bullshit from your father or his wife, so call the cops, call social services & stay with a friend for a bit until you can move in with your mother.


Best of luck!

I'm very sorry to hear that. But at this point, the only thing you can really do is try to stay somewhere else. Maybe go over a friend's house? Or, if you have a boyfriend, stay over there with him. Any other relatives...your mom. Even if that breaks court orders. Because if your dad is abusing you, I think you can be excused from breaking the custody thing. If it gets really bad, call the police. Never try to stand up to him, because he's older and larger. He might...and can do something awful. Just run. I wish you the best.
