I'm sorry you're being treated this way. I'm assuming, from your title, that you're a minor? You really should talk to an adult you trust about this--you have a right not to be hit or talked to that way--to be treated with respect, especially in your own home. Is there a school conselor or teacher or a member of the clergy you could talk to?

Perhaps your father needs some counseling. If his behavior has changed, there might be something wrong, physically or mentally. :worried:

Has your father's personality changed? Is he more irritable, does he laugh? Is he under some kind of pressure at work? Have you noticed a change in his eating or sleeping patterns? Is he using alcohol more?
In other words, could he be depressed? Depression in men can be hard to diagnose and even harder to accept.
Sometimes, especially when we are close to someone, we don't notice their "slide" into depression. Men especially often have a real problem admitting there is a problem, and identifying that they may need help. Add to that the stigma of mental illness, and it can be very hard,
You might want to talk to a mental health professional, get some pamphlets or do some research on the subject, and maybe talk to his doctor ir another health professional if you can.
Best wishes, and best of luck

Sorry about your situation. It sounds really awful. I hope you can find someone to talk to, someone who can maybe help.

Sometimes teachers wont tell your parents,but in your case since it envoles emotional (and im guessing physical) abuse they would call home and possibly someone else...I am really sorry you have to go through this, have you tried talking to your mom about it?

please talk to someone about this. someone you trust, another adult. You dont deserve to be abused emotionall, mentally, or physically and it sounds like all three are happening to you. please talk to someone, this must be worked out before it gets worse. dont hold this in, you need help and your dad needs help,
what does your mom say or do about any of this? does he abuse her too?

:hug:

How's it going, untold? You have a support system here for when things get rough, dont forget that! Have things improved at all?
