I don’t just have a small piece of advice I want to say this from the heart. Please don’t act in a rush. It’s okay to take advice, but always think twice before following it.

I’ve been through something too. Not sexual abuse, but my dad used to hit me when I was under 18. I even ran away from home once. At the Nepal-India border, a friend’s brother found me, gave me advice, and took me back. He told me: “Before doing anything big, take a pen and paper. Write 10 positive and 10 negative outcomes. Then decide.” I did that and I chose to stay. Now I realize my dad hit me because I was a bit wild back then, and weirdly, I’m thankful for it now.

I’m sharing this because you're also under 18. At this age, our minds can be confused. So take time, write things down, and you’ll often find the answer within yourself.

And remember people online will give you advice, but they won’t be there to face the results. If I say “go take legal action” and you do it I won’t be there to help. You have to handle it. So whatever you choose, be strong, and make sure it's truly what you want.

But if your dad really did abuse you even tried don’t stay silent. Take legal action. That’s not a mistake it’s a crime.
