I was looking for a site to just vent and get stuff off my chest. I live with a father who’s very abusive. He acts like a 2 year old when he doesn’t get what he wants. He hits and yells at my mom all day. He calls her worthless, lazy, fat, etc. every night she always tells me how she can’t take it, and wants to leave. Only problem is, he is our only source of income. I have extreme anxiety and ptsd from his outbursts, and haven’t left the house In over 2 years cause of agoraphobia. My mom doesn’t work, she takes care of my dad. He’s got a lot of health problems; strokes, open heart surgery, etc. my brother has autism and can’t hold a job. I’m lucky to have a house over my head and a family, but I can’t take it anymore. I don’t know how to tell my mom I’m tired of it all. She always tells me how she wishes she was dead. I feel the same as her, although I know she’d never do it. Dad always theatens to kill her. I’d hate to give her more grief. But we can’t keep living like this. We are all scared of him. He likes fire. He’s set more than a few houses around us on fire. And I’m scared he’d set ours on fire too. I don’t know if we’d get jailed for knowing he did it but never coming forward. I’ve been scared to. I have proof of some but not all. The one time I tried to talk to someone about his abuse, they turned it on me and told me I was in The wrong and dismissed it. I thought no one could help so I stopped trying. He isn’t getting worse with his memory. If you say something happened, he’ll say it didn’t and he’ll get mad and start to rage. He always has to be right even if he’s wrong. Every time he yells, throws something, or hits the table I start to panic. Its rarely quiet in the house. We all wish he was dead. Thank you for letting me rant. It feels good to let it out.
