What do you do about your parents abusing you?
The first step is to tell someone. It doesn't matter who it is, you just need to tell someone. You're probably finished school for the summer so you can't tell a teacher but there are a lot of websites and helplines out there to help you. I'm guessing you're in America ... you could try something like http://www.ndvh.org/ In the UK, there's a helpline for minors called childline... if you have something similar there, you should call it. Even though you might think they can't do anything to help you, the most important thing for you is to break the silence and tell someone. They can offer you advice or at the very least, just listen to you and give you the chance to talk about it. Good luck.
My boyfriend is being abused by his parents. What should I do?
I know of). He is terrified of speaking to anyone, voicing his opinions, and he gets serious anxiety in any social situations he's put in. He's completely horrified by the prospect of speaking to adults, and he plans to drop out of high school to avoid having to deal with teachers. The rest of his family members all live in Minnesota, and he doesn't know any of them very well. He only has a few close friends, and he considers me his best friend. We've talked about the possibility of him crashing at the houses of said other friends' or my own, but one of them has similar problems to him and the other has parents who dislike him and wouldn't let him stay there. My parents don't want him to stay here on the principle of him being my boyfriend. I have talked to my parents about everything, and my dad refuses to believe it's as serious as it is, and my mom's only reaction is "what do YOU think you should do?" and "do you think it's ser
What should I do if I'm being emotionally abused by my parents?
this is what I’m going through right now. There is no perfect answer. I don’t want to go to foster care or have to get my parent in trouble. See your options maybe move with another family member or do something that keeps you out of the house. But if you can’t leave your parents house and don’t want to go into the system. Then here are somethings to look forward to. Get a job and save up to move out. That will keep you out the house more. Focus on school, that will keep your mind distracted and get you out of the house easier and possibly faster. Sometimes it could be hard to do anything if your constantly getting put down or punshined for no reason. This is hard for me to do but try and just please them and don’t talk back and do as your told. It might not be fair or still hurt but you could give your parents less of a reason to yell at you all the time. If your parents have been like this for a long time they probably won’t change. Not by themselves, not without professional help. And the first thing that would help is having the parent admit they have a problem and that is very hard to do. If your parents drink or do drugs avoid them AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE while they are under the influence this will cause them to start an argument easier.So try to stay away. The best solution if you don’t want to go to foster care or anything like that is keep your distance.
My parents is abusing my dog :( help!?
16 week old german shepherd puppy, still a baby :( my parents are abusing him because he play bites really hard. and i got him for my birthday and im so sad i was crying. i asked them to give him away and they're just like no dont tell me wat to do, ect. I told them to get a trainer (bark busters) and they're like im not going to waste my money on crap. and so they think hitting him with a pot is a great idea... yeah! apparently he'll become the 'best the ever' when you hit him.. what the hell. Even i know that hitting a dog will only lead to agression. I looked it up on the internet. I told them and they're like No, im not going to listen to the internet :/ . What should I do. Is what they're doing right? :( help....
I was sexually abused by an uncle as a kid. My parents still have him to holidays. How do I explain tot hem I cannot join when he is there?
So what if he's "paid his price" by serving his jail time. That doesn't change the fact that you have lifelong scars from him and its emotionally difficult for you to be in his presence in any context. You do not owe it to anyone to attend family gatherings if the family is unwilling to stand up FOR you and against the offender. Tell your parents you have made the choice to never attend another event where he is present. Its YOUR choice not theirs and you are not interested in their opinions or input on the matter. They are free to make their own decisions. If they decide to invite him to holiday gathering then you will choose not to attend. If they see you 2x per week and only see him once or twice a year then you can respect their choice if they want to invite him, but YOU are not obligated to attend. If your parents can't respect the fact that his actions still hurt you and can't accept your choice to skip holiday gatherings as a result, then perhaps you should be reevaluating how much influence you allow them to have in your life.
I am emotionally abused and physically abused by my parents. What do I do?
You know, I was in the same place as you ever since I was a small child. I have no brothers or sisters, though.When I was small I contemplated doing what you are so afraid to do. I really wanted to but I just couldn't. I felt like that by doing so, I would be doing “bad”. I knew that life in foster care would be very uncomfortable. I knew I would never have been able to call it home. I never did make the call.Today, I know that if I had made the call my life would be completely different. I would be in a better place right now. Regardless of the discomfort foster care would have given me, I would have been much better off. If only I had made the call, everything today would be ok. It's a decision that forever changed my life.Your circumstances are only a little different. I think it's time you made the right choice, with the circumstances in mind. Maybe you don't have it quite as bad as I had it.
How do you tell your parents that you were sexually abuse as a child?
First of all: ignore docjp. I think it's perfectly normal for you to want to share this experience with your parents. I don't think it will destroy their lives if you tell them what happened to you. You're only sixteen years old. I'm also not satisfied with the easy statement that your experience was "due". Maybe your mother has a hard time accepting the fact that you were raped and maybe that's why she refuses to acknowledge the fact that it really happened. Someone else suggested that you go and see a therapist. I think that's a good idea. That will give you the chance to get a clear picture of what has actually happened. Since you're quite young the therapist will probably want to have a talk with your parents. A therapist can help your parents cope with the fact that something awful has happened to you and he/she can give your parents some advice in handling the situation. Even if your parents don't acknowledge what happened, there will be other people who will do that. Please don't doubt yourself or your self worth. What happened was not your fault and you should not be blamed. Good luck dear.
