Sounds like a nightmare of a family you have. Don’t you have relatives you can go to?

Ok hun. Don’t worry.

Let’s see what we can do to help you out with this.

You are in a frightening and confusing situation, I can see that. Firstly, you need to know that your situation is not unique and there are people out there who can help.

I’m guessing you are in the US. If I’m wrong, just let me know and I’ll get the right numbers for your location for you. These people are available 24/7 to talk things through with you and its totally confidential:

It’s important to understand that once physical abuse begins, it doesn’t stop until the abuser and the victims get help. I think you know that. What is going on between your parents is something you must try not to worry too much about. What is most important is that you are not put in any more danger.

That’s why it’s now crucial that you get proper help. If you don’t feel you can go to the police, call the number above and talk with them.

You don’t say how old you are, but if you are still at school or college, you can also talk to a counsellor there. This might be a good plan because they will probably be happy to stay with you whilst you talk with a police officer.

Don’t be frightened. Your parents need help with this and you need help to stay safe. Getting that help can only be a good thing.

You will not be the scapegoat, and none of this is your fault. This is too much for you to carry alone. Please follow through and get help - start by calling the number mumstheword posted above.

I agree with mumstheword. She knows what she’s talking about. This is too much for someone in your position to handle alone.
One thing though. I know you said you just wanted to be left alone…well that’s good and all, but I think this needs out of the way before you just drop everything and stop caring. This is big stuff here…I don’t know you personally or anything, but I don’t want you to have to go through this kind of stuff. I say you talk to a counsellor or call that number and see what they say. Even though the advice they give you might be hard to follow, you should do it. They know what they’re talking about. I was once in a situation similar to this (except I wasn’t the one being abused) and talked to my school’s counsellor. It was really hard to take her advice, but in the end, when I had finally had enough, I did…and it really did help. So I hope and pray everything goes well for you! *hug* =]

Hi dear, I agree with the above. Just don’t keep it withing yourself, nobody should be forced to have a situation like that.
Talk to friends about it, and talk to an adult who you trust.
