Hello irgendwie: I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Parents can make life so difficult. I presume you're still a minor & living with your parents. Still, this doesn't give your father the right to physically abuse you. Unfortunately it does make the situation difficult because I presume you don't have anywhere else you could live.

One possible option for you, assuming you're in school would be to talk with a school counselor about this. Alternatively, I wonder about the possibility of you seeing a therapist. I doubt your father's perspective is likely to change significantly. And your sexual orientation is not likely to change, so it's probable the two of you are going to be at odds over this for the foreseeable future. Assuming that is correct, you're going to need someone to talk this through with on an ongoing basis. A good counselor or therapist could also help you to develop strategies for handling your father's aggression towards you.

These aren't the most creative solutions, I'm afraid. Hopefully some other PC members will have some additional ideas. I do wish you all the best.
