If your sons father abused you and now he abuses you what should you do?
* Your son has learned the abusive behavior from his father by watching and listening and seeing how your husband has treated you. Long ago you should have told your son that it is wrong to be verbally nasty or physically harmful towards a women. You did not give the age of your son and if he is a minor then you can seek help through counseling or Child Aid. If your son is no longer a minor then seek legal advice and have a restraining order put against him and if this doesn't work then have the strength to phone the police and have your son taken away in handcuffs and then press charges against him. As much as this will hurt you it may help to get your son the psychological help he needs so he doesn't continue to follow in the footsteps of his abusive father.
What should I do when I am a 17 year old girl and getting emotionally abused?
- At 17 in most States you are still a minor until you turn 18 and therefore your parents have the right to set rules of their home which apply to you as well. If you are giving them cause for them to be angry at you such as: staying out too late; concerned about the friends you hang around with; if they do not like a specific young man you may be dating or your grades at school are dropping; you do no chores around the house then that is not abuse! If you are getting decent grades at school; careful who you hang around with; come home at the time your parents ask you too and listen to some good advice from them if they feel you are dating a young man that does not treat you well then yes, if they yell and scream at you this is emotional abuse. In this case you can go to Child Aid and ask that you be placed either in Foster Care; live with grandparents or another female relative until you turn 18 and you are free to do as you please.

Why do people hate their family so much?
Added to This Opinion:
Although there is not one clear cut answer for hating families, hate passed down from generation to generation.
In addition to generations passing down a "spirit" or attitude of hatred, other issues that add to it is:
- Drug or alcohol abuse in the immediate family.
- Physical abuse.
- Verbal abuse.
- Divorce.
- Constant arguing in the family.
- Personality conflicts. Within the immediate family two siblings could be totally different in personality and have serious conflicts between the two of them. The same can be seen with a parent and one or more of their children.
- Witnessing abuse as a child.
- Marriage partner can add to families not liking each other.
- In many cultures, divorce will divide families.
Another Opinion:
- Divorced mothers or fathers stealing a girlfriend or boyfriend from their daughter or son (this happens more often than many people know.)

How do you prove custodial parent is abusive to kids?
- If in the United States you can call Child Aid and your name will be kept confidential. They will then check out the custodial parent and decide if the children are being abused or not. If in Canada it would be Child Welfare. Even if you have a hint that a child or children are being abused mentally or physically you have a duty to report it or you are enabling the parents behavior. You also must remember that in some States the spanking law is still in and be aware of what physical abuse is: slapping a child in face; twist their arms; punching; kicking; striking a child with a belt or other object; not making sure they are fed properly; not getting proper medical attention; not going to school if of school age.
What are some possible reasons fathers may abuse their children?
The father may have had some issues of harassment in his past so he may do the same to his children so they can suffer through the same pain. Another reason may be because he never wanted to have children in the first place or maybe even they might have been crying and he didnt know how to shut them up so he beats them up.
Actually this situation goes further into depth. The father may never have had a history of harassment in his past at all. This goes into genetics and childhood. Some things about people are determined before birth, of course there's hair color, height, etc..., but other things such as how aggressive a person are determined also. There have been studies in an effort to understand why people behave in ways that don't reflect their pasts at all. The person may just have an aggressive or impatient nature, something that they were born with.
"Boundaries define limits, mark off dividing lines. The purpose of a boundary is to make clear separations between different turf, different territory
"The purpose of having boundaries is to protect and take care of ourselves. We need to be able to tell other people when they are acting in ways that are not acceptable to us.
Setting personal boundaries is vital part of healthy relationships - which are not possible without communication.

How can you relieve yourself from a messed up past?
Take this answer with an open mind, because if you are defensive, it will not help you. Every decision we make has an an effect on future events and other decisions we will have to make in our future. You and only you are in control of this process. Life is 1 % what happens around you and 99 % how we react to it. If someone is in a bad mood, will you allow them to steal your joy and pass that bad mood along to you? Hopefully not. The same thing applies to how you begin your day. You have the choice to 'decide' if you are going to be in a good mood or a bad mood. This decision will reflect the other decisions and the moods of the people you meet. This also applies to whether you continue to let that something that happened in your past to be a weight like a ball and chain that you feel you need to carry with you possibly for the rest of your life. Some people wear their pain on their sleeve like a badge and show it off to everyone looking for some sympathy but this gets old fast and like the saying goes misery loves company, you will run out of listeners. You have to decide to cut that umbilical cord which still causes you pain. I was told this by a friend. Take a piece of paper, or more as needed and write down what is painful that you want to put in your past. When done, place it in an envelope and seal it. On the outside, write the date of which you have 'sealed' your past behind you. Place it on your mantle, or a place where you can view it in plain sight every day. Know in your mind and heart that what is inside that pandoras envelope as it were, is now in your past and cannot live past the date which you made the conscious decision not to let it effect the rest of your life. You may feel like you are the only person that has gone through this type of thing. You are not alone, believe me. People you meet every day who may not show it are or have gone through similar issues and they either have controlled it, or let it become a controlling factor in their lives. The question for you is which one will you be.
I have a lot of favorite sayings, I collect them in fact. My favorite is: I regret not my past. I live for today. I will make my tomorrows. Broken down it means:
I regret not my past: At no time should anything that you have experienced in your past which may not have ended on a good note should effect your life today other than to know that to experience pain is normal. It teaches us not to do those things again. We were not born as adults. We have to learn through experience. To err is human, and I could be an instructor in that area.
I live for today: This means that at no other point in your life will you experience or be able to experience this moment again, so make the best of it. You can either choose to be happy, sad, angry or many other emotional choices. I Have been through all of them and in a good mood feels the best. Yesterday is history, tomorrow, a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present. If you are dwelling on the past, you miss the present.
I will make my tomorrows: If you don't plan your steps, they will be random. If you plan to do nothing tomorrow, the odds are nothing will be done. Get a notebook and paste pictures of items and accomplishments you want like furniture, cars, a house etc. Add to this as often as you wish and also list accomplishments that you have achieved, no matter how insignificant it may seem to you at the time. It can be your journal to refer to when you have doubts about your abilities or want to review your accomplishments and levels of maturity. Ghandi said 'You have to be the change that you want to see in the world.' As a former paremedic, I was blessed to see some people who looked deep in their hearts and found the will to say no to death. Every day, you can die a little or live a little. The choice is yours, and yours alone.
!!!!!!!!...... (Just remember) ....you never know how long you may live your life, so why not make it worth living? There is no point in remebering what happened in the past and upsetting yourself. It happened! and there is nothing in the world that could change the past... ! Think about your future and go for the things you love to do in yourlife .... !!!!!!!!
