Can I jail my father?

Is it possible to put your father in jail for verbal and mental abuse he put on my mother? How can I get rid of this guy and lock him up for good? Although he hasn't physically abused her, its taking a huge toll on her health. I'm worried about her.

I don't think its possible unless he's done something illegal. I'm sorry he's abusive to your mother. Would your mom be willing to move away and file for divorce? Does she work?

nah she doesnt work because he ruined her social security with bankruptcy. She won't divorce him either i have no idea why. I guess its a social thing and she doesnt want people talking about her.....

Not sure about jailing, but I learned something about 'harassment' restraining orders, at least in my state. They require, at least three or more occurrences, to be filed. Documentation, of times and dates, and spelling out, precisely what's occurring, can be a good avenue, to keep things straight.

Then, violations, can land a person, in jail. Your mom, may need to be on board.

If there's any e-mail/text messages that can be saved, as proof, even better.

Good types of written communications, that exhibit, 'aggressive' wording, would start of with the word 'you.' As in you are, you do, etc. It's aggressive, because it's accusatory, in nature.

How does your mom, feel, about how she's being treated?

Psychological abuse is a form of domestic violence and IS illegal.

However, it's hard to prove, and I think your mom would need to be on board as others have said.
