I think Mum gets it better than Dad, So she lets me go out when i need to and she understands i struggle being at home sometimes, and cannot deal with him.
It's hard to explain he hasn't hit me hard enough or used a closed fist on me for a long time, now days its more of just poking me in the arm for ages hard, or pushing me around... Compared to alot of people it's nothing, so i feel bad for complaining you know?
And well i just think he might have some mental illness or something. you know, and well if i can try get him help it might make him happier and less easy to become angry

THAT IS STILL ABUSE!!! And, as I said, you can't save him--that's not your job. YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE! If he is treating you that way, HE IS a horrible person! One common factor in abusers is that they have moments when they are sweet, charming, etc, and that is why they get away with it for so long. YOu are an adult now, so there is no reason why you cant leave. Find a shelter, ask a friend to help you out or something--BUT GET OUT OF THERE! It is not up to you to get him help!!!! He has to do that for himself. Take that energy you're using to "save him," and instead use it to save yourself.
