CRIES OF A SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL .

So today my mother's friends came over and younger sister was not around because she had a debate competition. She told our father so that he would order an uber for her after school but as he always does, he lied. He is such a coward and is pathetic. Note that today is my sister's birthday, and he took a wooden spoon and was about to hit her when I told him not to as it was her birthday. After saying this he punched me twice in the head and once on my left eye which is currently swollen. Tomorrow my sister goes for the finals for the debate competition, and I go for a race, they were supposed to buy us snacks and give us money for the day but as they always do, they never came through for the snacks and after the 'incident' he demanded the money back. My mother just stood there as she is afraid of angering her husband and clearly allows the whole family to be abused including herself. I honestly do not know what to do and I have been suffering for the past few years. I am an honors student, and I cannot wait to leave home and finally be free from this monster. He tries by all means to make our lives miserable and many a time he has failed dismally and this really angers him. He honestly thinks everything is about him and his reason for all this is you do not respect me. I plan on joining the army after high school and doing my best to get justice for my siblings. I honestly hope that no one ever goes through this trauma and gets to live like this. I accepted the fact that I could never be an ordinary teenager because of what I go through. I am a very happy person from everyone's perspective, and I am glad that I wear my mask so well that they do not see a traumatized child behind all the joy and laughter. I have gone through so much stuff and the only reason I stand strong is God and his loving ways. I was raped for about 7 continuous years by my cousin my father's nephew, and I blame every single thing on him because he is the one who demanded we move to where they stayed. I have kept this hidden for my whole life and I do not see myself saying this harsh truth to anyone. So, every parent out there should choose how they treat the children wisely. I disowned my father a long time ago and I loathe him with my whole heart. I only have one more year to tolerate his nonsense and I am done for good and when I do leave there is no turning back. As traumatic as my life experience it has only made me stronger and stronger by each day and I cannot wait to show the World what I've got. Every child deserves to grow up in a healthy environment and every sane parent should know that.
