Not entirely, but if he's touching anywhere thats inappropriate you should definetely tell someone about it.

If he's touching you inappropriately and you don't like it, yes it is. If not, he's probably just expressing care and concern in one of the ways he knows how to.

In what way does he touch you? If you feel uncomfortable with the way he touches you and you believe it's inappropriate than you should report it.

Thank you for your honesty. This is sexual abuse. I strongly recommend calling an abuse helpline or talking to your mum/guardian. You shouldn't be left alone in this situation and I'm always one message away to give you more help if you need it! But my best advice is to contact a helpline

Yeah if he is touching you in sexual way yes that is sexual abuse, if he is only touching your arm, or giving you a hug nope.

It depends. But you have to distinguish between sexual abuse and an expression of love from your dad. I mean, if he likes to touch your hair, wipe your cheeks gently, I think this must be one of the way to show his love. But if he starts to touch your thighs, your chest, and all of those sensitive parts of your body, you must be aware! This could be the indicate of sexual abuse.

That was a very vague question because I do not know in what way your "dad" is touching you. If he is touching you in your private areas then yes, that is sexual abuse. If he is pinching your buttocks or grabbing your breasts, that is also sexual abuse. If your "dad" is talking to you in a sexual way or showing you sexually graphic pictures or movies, that too is sexual abuse. If you have gone to your mother and she either does not believe you, is not present in the home or in your life, or becomes abusive to your for trying to get help, please, either go to a relative that you can trust, go to a school counselor and let them know what is happening in your home or if you feel you are old enough, call the police yourself from another location outside of your home. This is a very serious situation, so please if you are being abused tell someone.

Any sexual acts that isn't wanted or giving permission is a form of sexual abuse. That is if the person that is doing these acts are gaining pleasers from the act. And the victim isn't willing or doesn't understand what is right or wrong.

If it's more than a hug or a kiss on the cheek, then, yes, it's abuse. I would refer you to a professional for this though.
