i havent seen my dad since my birthday beating a week ago. and i had to go over to his house the other day. of course he was drinking and when he saw me i only made him even more mad. and now i have a black eye and plenty other bruises. yesterday at school the priciple asked me what was going on and how i got the black eye. i told him me and my friend were messing around and it was an accident. he didnt buy it at all and now he might be calling the cops or he's going to do something and everything is going go crazy again. my dad is only going to get more mad and everything is going to break down again. black eye...and questions at school black eye...and questions at school

damajdancer - im so sorry youre going through this. are your parents divorced? sounds like you only see him every now and then. think you could talk to your mom (or whoever you live with) about whats going on so you dont have to see him?

thanks everyone, but my mom does know about it, and when ever i get in trouble at home she sends me to him. they have been divorced since i was two. but the beatings started when he started drinking...i was about seven. but it is only me he takes his anger out on...unfortanutley my siblings know too. my older brother used to want to help me but he kind of moved on as he got older. and my younger siblings are too young to really understand it right now. i have been hoping the beatings would end ever since my first one which gave me eleven stiches and a cast. but no hope is there any more, i feel very helpless.

Please go to your school principal and ask to be taken to any emergency room if you still have the bruises, etc. They will take care of you, and make sure they know that Mom sends you to Dad for these beatings. Sounds like they are taking out their problems on you and blaming you, which is not true and very wrong. You can also go to Children's Services. Go now, don't wait til the next time. You don't need to be with either of these adults until they learn to control themselves. Go child, now. Love!!!

I'm with Torn.

The hardest thing I ever had to do at 14 was go to my school nurse (I'm dating myself here) and tell him exactly what was going on. A female teacher came in with me, and they photographed the bruises, the burns, and everything else. They took me to the ER, and the nurses and docs there admitted me to a room, and would not tell my mother where. Of course, DFCS came in, and I was removed, but it was worth it. There are good foster homes out there. . .if that's the answer.

This has got to stop. You have the power to stop it. If you tell your principal, who can call the state for you, you can tell them you don't want to see your father. You are old enough to make that decision. Your mother cannot force you to go see him. But beatings with stitches and broken bones is extreme. It must stop! Please seek help! Look for a free abuse hotline for help. Call them please!
