Domestic Abuse

nysuhhh

My dad hits my mom sometimes when they fight really badly, which might i add is almost every time he’s at home. He lives in another city for work though so he’s only home like 6 days a month. So basically unless i step in and tell them both to stop and take my mom away, they will keep fighting and inevitably my dad will raise his hand on my mom and if it isnt her, it’s me which is like better but still shit. I never saw my mom cry for like 12 years of my life and when i did see her cry it broke me. I’ve seen her cry so much these past two years and it hurts to see her like that. But the thing is today or like these past months whenever i try to go comfort her she just yells and tells me to go away and stop bothering her like dad. Even today she told me to take my brother and go upstairs and leave her alone when i asked her what’s wrong. I dont know how i will cope with this but both of them will never listen to me. It’s fucking with my mental health really badly and i have a really bad undiagnosed case of anxiety so theres that.

Next time he lays a hand on her call the police
Record what you can even if it’s audio, it’s evidence

that’s just bad. noone should be abused like that. is it better when your dad is away? If so speak to her when he’s away on work. if not is there an aunt or uncle u can speak to.
I agree with bell, if its that bad the police are there to help. you cannot get in trouble with the police over a genuine concearn

please just ignore this post. basically the thing is, most of the users here are from like well, ‘western’ countries, im from southasia and its whole different atmosphere and social norms here. my dad is okay now, he was just facing tobacco and nicotine withdrawal effects and please dont think my mom is miserable or anything, they both love eachother and like this is common asian parents behaviour😭. they arent getting divorced, atleast not in this life. so um basically this was targeted to my fellow brown people (im not being racist or anything just that they would understand it better) and uh please just ignore this post! ty!
