If my father hits me, can I call the police?
I should explain. You see my father is a very controlling and egotistical man. I'm self educated and have studied psychology for a while, and I know enough about him that he's unstable with his emotions. He fluctuates between being the kind father or an ***. Whenever things are not under his "all mighty thumb" he will attempt to control the situation at all costs. He has complete control over my elder brother, who is scared pissless of my father at the age of 18, I am 16. He controls his girlfriend but I have no information on that. Anyways, he has come remarkably close to striking before, but always stopped because I was young, scared, and told him no. However I"m mature now. My mother and father are seperated, one living else where. I'm with my father for a year because of a special school in the state. I have never liked my father and always staid clear, I have never spent a full year with him before, this is my first time seeing him at all in over four years. Anyways, I'm tired of his tiranical reign over the household, but I need the stay in the state for the school, I know he will through me on the street before he hits me, but because of the emotional damage he's done to my family, I really want to make him pay, I do blame him for alot, but that's his fault. We are always fighting, and each time he gets worse. The reason for our arguments is I disobey his ruleings. I do follow his rules out of respect, but he doesn't like how I am a "smart ***" about it. In all, he is angry that I manage to disobey him, he is seeking to equalize his enviroment by correcting me, or getting rid of me. I know for a fact that he will strike me at some point, it's inevitable. So here is the question. If my father hits me, may I press charges? Or is he protected under some ridicules parental disipline act? May I strike back in self defence? Or will this land me with assualt? I'd really like LEGAL advice on this, so unless you abasalutly know the law, or are unsure, please don't answer. I don't need sympathy, and I don't need to be told I'd deserve it. I know I disobey him and it's likely his right to hit me to correct it, but it'd be nice if I could land him in prison, or do something wrose myself in self defence. I don't want Bias, moral, or other opinions on this, only legal help. More info will be provided if needed.
Should I call the cops when my dad hits me again?
You said you were “hungry and angry”. Were you disrespectful? Whiny? Demanding? Unforgiving? And then destructive, leaving wet clothes on a chair? See, that matters in how this question is answered, because I was a child, and am now a parent.It's so easy to read that your dad hit you on the head with a metal water bottle and it hurt, and jump to conclusions, but I suspect the “Oh poor you” is only a tiny part of the story. It caused you a little pain when he did that, but did he HURT you? And you say it isn't the first time…?…Only you can tell us if your father is truly abusive, causing real harm to you and others from his lack of control, for no reason, or, if, as I suspect, you asked this question because you were still angry, and your dad didn't tolerate your antics. Nobody should be victimized. Ever. And if this is the case, by all means, call the police!! If, however, this is a family squabble, and dad popped you harmlessly (if uncomfortably) in frustration, then calling the police is just wrong. Your father will likely be arrested, lose his job while accruing legal bills, his reputation will be tarnished and the family will almost certainly be separated. So, before you listen to ANY of the answers here, I encourage you to be 100% honest with yourself --and us-- about whether you are in actual danger or just mad. Huge difference. If you're in danger, get out, go to nearest public place and call police, of course. If not, then perhaps you need to be careful what you wish for…

Should I call animal control on my dad?
I have a huge heart when it comes to dogs. I have a four year old toy Yorkie and my dad likes to hit him and beat him when my dog does something bad. Today when my dog was sleeping with me on my bed my dad comes in with a drum stick grabs my dog by the neck and starts beating him with it. My mom did that once too. I try to protect him all I can but my parents threatens to kick me out if I keep defending him. Should I call animal control on my dad for abusing my dog? What should I do?

My dad hit me im a girl and 22 years old?
My dad has been hitting me since I was a little girl. He hit me with belt hanger stick threw pillows at me. He constantly yells at me when I do simple wrong with things. I think he does this to me because I'm adopted. Or am I just stupid. I love my dad and I don't want him to go to jail. But I don't want to get hit anymore. I don't know what to do. He doesn't have a job and my mom works full time and she pays for everything. I love at home because I haven't finished school yet and no job. I don't know what to do.
Why does my dad hit me?
That word could have a few different meanings.Does he abuse you? Is he a drunk, or does he have anger problems? If either of those are a yes, report it. Call the police. That's domestic abuse and you shouldn't go on living with him doing that to you.Now, if it's a parental thing, like for discipline and whatnot, then okay. You're good. Parents do that to train their children not to do bad things. If you're over the age of 10, then that could be a problem. It's more of a child behavior correction type of thing and shouldn't be used on older children.But if he does it when he wants just because, get some help. Please. It's not okay for him to be hitting you and he could get into trouble for it.Now, you asked WHY. I don't know why. Maybe he is an abusive alcoholic. Maybe he was hit as a kid. Maybe he's just letting his anger out on you. I don't know. But if you don't think it's right, tell him or someone else. They can help you.
