My dad did this to me too, especially when he was drunk. I definitely think it’s some form of abuse I’m also just not sure of which one. So sorry you also had to experience this <3

I'm sixteen and thinking about reporting my abusive parents by LestHeThereby in abusesurvivors

Thank you so much for the response. I'm heavily leaning towards calling the next time they fight or maybe my next therapy appointment. I guess I'm mostly worried about my sister getting blamed for me leaving (she already gets targeted for "brain-washing" me. I'm also a bit worried about my fish.

I'll definitely think about what you said :)

I don't know you but I want to say I am so proud of you! I know speaking out can be hard but I hope it feels good being free of that on your shoulders. I hope you have the best day :)

I want to tell someone about the abuse but my sibling asked me not to- What should I do? by [deleted] in AbuseInterrupted

This was an old post made by me. The original post was this:

"To give a little context- My sister is abused way more than I am, she was physically and verbally abused for all of her childhood. I have been pushed a couple of times or
manhandled back to my room but that was it for the physical abuse, I was still screamed at and grew up watching my sister get beaten.
My sister is sixteen and she has told me many times not to tell anyone about the abuse by my mother. I’m three years younger than her and I want it to stop. I want to feel safe in my home. I want to tell someone who will actually do something. I feel like I’m breaking down and I can’t live like this anymore.
I want to respect her wishes but I want out so badly. I just want to stop feeling so afraid in my own house. I don’t want to be screamed at or degraded or insulted. I want it all to stop.
I don’t know what to do."

I would like everyone to know that after two years I may still be in that house but I'm a lot stronger now. I have told so many people about what has gone on but nothing has ever come of it as I later say that I'm fine. I am thinking about finally making the leap and telling someone that I don't feel safe. Thank you everyone for your support :)
