Getting help

...See more I want the emotional abuse from my Dad to stop, but I'm scared what he might do if he finds out that I'm telling someone. I want to tell my teacher but my province is on "Work to Rule" so I can't talk to her at lunch or after school. I was thinking of writing a letter so people in my class wouldn't hear me talking to her but I'm just really scared of what is going to happen. I don't know if this even makes sense. If you have anything that could help please do.
Is this bad enough to be abuse?

...See more (I'm 14 and in Canada) I'm not sure that my situation is bad enough to be emotional abuse cause a couple years ago I called CPS on my dad. my dad wasn't as bad as he is now but still yelling and angry and belittleing me all the time and my friend urged me to call. Now, he gets pissed and super angry at everything me or my mom do. He yells, swears and criticizes us for nothing/really small things like vacuuming the "wrong way" and putting thing in the dishwasher in a way he doesn't like or doing anything that isn't exactly how he thinks it should be. My dad has been getting super angry at my mom a lot more recently (past month or 2) and I don't know if it's bad enough to be abuse. I get so angry when he yells at her cause I know she doesn't deserve to feel like that. I want it to stop. I am so scared of him. He is mostly nice to my 2 little sisters (12 and 9). I'm terrified that he is going to get physical. He has only hit me around 5 or 6 times in my life and I have no idea if he is hurting my mom. He is like this every day now. I don't know if this is bad enough to call CPS or tell someone like my teacher. Please help me with this. Thank you.
