Hi, I don't quite know where to start. I am 26 years old. My father is a VERY POWERFUL AND WEALTHY attorney. My parents divorced a long time ago, but the abuse NEVER stops, and it is so complicated no one can understand. I don't have anywhere to turn.

Hi there,

It is rough to have a dad with such power who is so abusive. I can imagine the kinds of complications that can cause.. and the kind of fear it could invoke. Sorry you're having to go through this right now -- mind telling us a little more? Maybe some of us can help.

I am sorry! There is a way out. Maybe it will become clearer if you keep writing here?

Hello OOC,

Your situation must be very frustrating and fearful for you. As Sannah has said there is a way out...

By going public his power is reduced...though that takes a strength that most abused people take years to accumulate. I really hope that things change for you
