Q: My dad constantly veerbally abuses me and everyone else in the family, I'm at university now but last year I went to the council about him, however I retracted it. I'm 18 and I can't deal with his anger issues, he's called me a slag, a cunt etc and compares me to my mum who isn't any of that... I come back for spring holidays soon and I don't want to stay with my dad, do you think I should go to the council again? Because no one in my family can help me
Hi honey, do you have friend or another relative you can stay with? Your dad sounds very unhappy and his behavior is wrong in every way. Please know that it’s not you who is doing anything wrong. He has issues he needs to work out and he’s projecting his self hatred onto you and your family. It’s wrong and it’s very unhealthy for you to be around. I’m not sure what the council is? But if there is someone outside of your home you can stay with, I recommend doing this as you shouldn’t be treated that way or be around that kind of abuse. I’m so sorry, honey. Nobody should be treated that way by anyone especially their father. He is there to protect you from evil like that. <3
