Getting help

ZebraPotato44 January 11th, 2017

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.

That is a tough situation. Not only will the relationship with your Dad carry on into adult life, but presumably you'll be living under his roof till you're at least 18. Is your Mother there to talk with about this? I'd explore that option first. Talking with your Dad, when he's calm, is also an option. There is the possibility that Reporting it could make things worse. Just pointing out, his reaction may not be a good one. Whatever you decide... think first

I sincerely hope things work out for the better 🙂

@ZebraPotato44..

Emotional abuse can be very hard to deal and its even harder when our parents are the ones who hurts us.

I know the pain one feels by this because I myself was victim to emotional abuse, but never told anyone about it.

My suggestion is talking to someone close to you that you trust.
