I am having major family problems.

My dad is a buissness worker and goes all over the USA on buissnes trips and conferences and all kinds fo stuff, wekk my step-mom changes when he is gone, He’s going on his third business trip in 3 days and i dont want to e left alone with my step mom again. The last time he left which was 3 weeks ago my step-mom got physically abusive. I have a 1yr old sister and last time my step-mom through her into a wall. I went to my friends house with her and didnt reutnr till that night and when i got home i took the beating for her plus more. Ever sence that day I haven’t been able to walk right, I told my dad that i tripped and probably just sprained my knee.
I dont want to tell on my step-mom because my dad loves her so much but i don’t want to go throught hat pain again, and i cant let my little sister get hurt, i dont want her to get hurt again especally not by somone im suppose to trust. If I call the cops then i get taken away from my dad and also i get my little sister taken from me…i dot know what im suppose to do.

Yes tell your dad whats going on, or even tell the authorities, you have no reason to be treated like this. It sounds like your step mum needs help also with councelling or something, dont hide this any longer . Well done for coming here for help, we are all ears

If you love your dad and your sister, you’ll tell your dad. Keeping the fact that he’s married to a monster a secret from him is an awful thing for a loving daughter to do.

Guardian angel , if you are willing to give her a week ,then so be it ..
but the next time this happens , please dont hold it back … tell your dad about whats really happening … i don’t think he will still love a women who is putting the safty of his children on the line!
Its not fair for your sister either , you do want her to grow up in a healthy houshold right ? You will only be hurting her if you keep this to yourself …
so again dont hesitate to tell you dad ,or even the authorities if anything of this sort happens again ..k! =)

you really need to tell someone. you said you don’t want to spoil your dad’s weekend, but it’s not YOUR fault,it’s your step-mother’s. she is the one that is hurting his kids. there are lots of hotlines out there too. one is 1-800-999-9999 or 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). i really hope that everything gets better for you and i’ll pray for you.

I told my father what happened and he’s talking to my step mom now. If things dont go the way i hoped and he leaves im absolutly screwed. I talked to my little sister and i went to pick her up and she said ow! i asked what hurts and she poined to her back, and mumbeed some gibber gab. she is walking fine and her arms and everythng move ok so i think it might have been the way i picked her up but i dont know. I’m really getting nervous right now…its been almost 2 hours sence my dad said he would talk to her and i havent heard any noise froim that room sence…

i’m sure your step mom would tell your father if you laid a hand on HER! i am a step mother, and would never in my life ever tough my step daughter, unless i was hugging or tickling.
talk to your father. when she is not even in the house. or go to lunch with your dad.
my idea is to set up a camera in the room she’s picks to hit you in.
do whatever you can to get it on camera. WITHOUT HER KNOWING! do any of your friend’s parents know? maybe you should talk to them, or call them when your stepmom does this and they could get involved
does your step mom drink?

Guardian , since your sis is safe now ,thats good .. .but talk to your dad before he leaves .. and if you would rather not stay with your step mom when ur dad is away .. thats even better .. you can also go to your grandparents .. its safer for you ..
and yea brittany is right a hidden camera sounds like a great idea!

camera
your only option, but she can’t see it, because she’ll probaly hurt you more.
call someone and have them listen to it while she’s screaming. how old are you honey?
