I have been trying to not talk back and to keep my head down as to not get in trouble with him.
things are better than they used to be, I don't fear that he will snap and badly hurt me much anymore. But things used to get bad enough that i couldn't handle it.

So my questions are, Any tips/hints on how to move forward and not let the past haunt me. (I get panic attacks a bit)
And is there anyway that i can help him? I don't want him to hurt anyone else and get in trouble..

:/
I'm sorry but that is abuse. Just the fact that you feel that you have to head your head down shows that. Is there anyway you can get away from him? p.s. Its not your job to help him--you need to help yourself; I understand that you dont want it to happen to anyone else, but you cant save him.
