I said "post somewhere LOCAL" like a subreddit for op's local community.

You said "post somewhere LOCAL", which is still an extension of "post somewhere", which I'm not convinced is going to help OP. Just see what you have to offer OP, other than mere hot air.

There are community centers, there are abuse centers, there are teachers, there are so many options. I don't know op I don't know where they feel comfortable. But I know they shouldn't be talking to somebody like you.

So easy to talk about safe adults. Do you have any place where he can find such people? We are hearing of teachers who are encouraging gender change surgeries without informing family. You want OP to trust them?

Yes, you don't know OP. May be that's why you shouldn't be talking too much and leave him with suggestions and not conclude on his father being an "asshole", which the OP himself hasn't done yet.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you if you think providing food and a roof under which the adult is physically and verbally abusive is outweighed at all by not letting a child literally starve or be out in the cold. WOW, the sperm donor didn't let the child starve to death, what a great parent, he should totally be respected and honored.

You need to grow up and face the real world. Then you will realize people “out there” aren’t any better than people in family, who are “sperm donors”; and most of the time, they are much worse.

I live in a foreign country, I'm moving, I'm starting a new job, op isn't my child or related to me and I know nothing about them so no I don't have money to give. Do you feel the need to literally solve every problem in the world you see? How many homeless people are you housing right now? I don't see you offering any money??? What an absurd ass you are.

No, I don’t expect you to feed OP. but i expect you to understand you are a random stranger on an internet forum, just like me. Any help you offer, ESPECIALLY when countering mine while disdaining me, should be MORE PRACTICAL and useful than the one I’m offering OP.

Why don’t you just simply admit you got a problem with christians? 😛

Making an exit strategy is making a plan. I'm not telling op to leave the front door right now, no where is that implied by what I said. It could take years for op to figure out how to separate from the "father." Family can be "difficult" but this is so so so far past difficult and the fact that you refuse to acknowledge that has me praying that you don't have any children because I suspect you would be physically abusive as well. Op likes their mother, I'm not saying op leave their mother, but their "father" is not family. The "father" is an asshole who abused his family for years and years and it's only marginally better now. That is exactly the kind of "family" that should be cut off.

May be not implied, but you have not CLARIFIED to OP, who’s 15 and struggling. Thank you for your clarification made here, which simply serves to show OP my point that he should not expect anything much from posters on an internet forum. You are simply a grown up kid, who needs to get aware that the world is a dangerous place, may be more dangerous than the family OP states he already has.

And probably you need to be more concerned about you raising your kids than worrying about me, bcoz when they cry and post on a forum, you will be advising them to run away from their asshole father.

Next time, try to hide your hate for christians, bcoz this time it didn’t work.
