Find help: My girlfriend has an abusive dad. - Help.com

Abusive–or just strict? There’s quite a difference, you know. Oh, yeah–parents sometimes “explode.” But was it due to HER behavior? If there’s real abuse, it’s up to your gf to call Child Protective Services. You do not have “standing” in this matter, and you have only “hearsay” evidence to go on. On the other hand, if it’s just a father expressing legitimate outrage over something idiotic his daughter has done, you will find yourself in an untenable position if you try to interfere. Best thing you can do is get your girlfriend to “talk it out,” but also realize that she may not tell you the whole story. In fact, there’s not any real way for you to find out the whole story. But if there’s real abuse, she has to be the one to act, because she is in possession of more facts and details than you can ever be. You also have to consider the very real possibility that she is overreacting, and that she didn’t tell you what SHE did to get her father so upset.

Well, there are several types of abuse…
Physical
Emotional
Verbal Abuse.

I have personally experienced all three of these.

No one came to my rescue. I had to leave on my own.

You need to find out if he is hurting her more than just hollaring at her because she is mis-behaving.
Then you need to call Child Protective Services like Anonymous wrote.

I at one point when I was living in that environment, stayed at my boyfriends home with his family.

I will pray for you and your girlfriend!
Keep us posted!

Are You Sure That This Is Abuse Has he Called Her Names, Hit Her Or Touched Her In Any Form?
If Not Then I Would Say That Its Not Abuse Just Her Dad Must Have Alot On His Mind Or Very Low Stress Points Like He Can Only Take The Stress For A certain Amout Of Time.
You Might Think That Im Only A 14 Year Old; What Would I Know,But I have Experience Abuse And I Know What It Is Like.
If You Think or Know For Certain That He Is Abusing Her Talk To A Counseler and They Will Tell You What To Do.
Hope She Will Be Okay Same For You.
Take Care.
