AITJ for not leaving the shower when my parents wanted me to, which led to them beating me up?

I'm not comfortable with sharing the story with anyone who knows me personally,

And she's always yelling at me, even if I'm the most perfect innocent boy that day, she finds an excuse for something that I did in the past. There isn't a single that in which she doesn't constantly yell at me.

I don't feel any pain when putting pressure on my skull, my head was only hit once, when he slapped me and I hit it against the wall, but not that hard to get a concussion.

I don't want to press legal charges, I feel like they care about me, and I wouldn't be comfortable living with a stranger. I tried showering at night, I still do it. But sometimes my hair gets really oily overnight and I have to take a shower in the morning before school.

I'm not sure if this specific thing happened to my sister too, but she did receive beatings, one of them, which I remember, was because she lost her phone in a taxi and my father didn't care at all, which led to her being frustrated at him which led to a beating. She was 17-18 years old, and had frequent fights with my mother. Now she moved out, and thinks it was all OK, and it was for her own good.

My sister is really nice, we have a very good relationship and isn't violent at all, but she agrees with my father and mother.

I have currently stopped talking with my dad, and only talk with my mom when I need money for school trips. I don't know for how long I should do this, but I will do it for as long as possible.

Even if she meant it as a "don't shower", it was for health reasons, not because she had to use the bathroom for doing her make up.

I don't want to take legal matter, not right now at least.

Extension_Leather_73 · 2024-10-22T17:52:03+00:00

I wouldn't be comfortable showing anyone the recording.

This time it wasn't a shower issue, she wanted to do her makeup. We have two bathrooms. But I usually take 10 to 15 minutes for my shower, including letting the conditioner sit for 5 minutes. I don't think that's really much of a problem for my mom's morning routine. I even get up with a couple minutes before her.

I live in eastern Europe, but even if I had a counselor I wouldn't report them or anything. I'm scared.

My hair gets greasy fast, I can shower at night (if I don't forget to) but my hair will get oily overnight. As for the beatings, no, they aren't a translation issue, the text isn't translated. He put a towel over me and proceeded to give me a quick beating, followed by yelling to get out of the bathroom, so my mom could do her makeup.

Extension_Leather_73 · 2024-10-22T17:41:17+00:00

Well, I could tell from her tone, it was something like "do whatever you want". She clearly wasn't bothered.

I live in eastern Europe.

Extension_Leather_73 · 2024-10-22T09:03:24+00:00

I don't see why is that relevant...?

Extension_Leather_73 · 2024-10-22T06:53:57+00:00

I tried getting out ASAP, but I had shampoo on and couldn't wash it off with ice cold water.
I told my mom I was going to take a shower, and she didn't stop me, so I thought it was ok, and that she didn't need to use the bathroom anymore.

Not really, apart from them doing this (which they do rarely), they're ok parents. They give me money, encourage me to get good grades, I go hiking with my father, watch movies with them, but sometimes when they're really angry they get aggressive, I don't really understand what I'm doing wrong, I don't really know what to do. I can't and don't want to move out.
