Abusive Families

It happens. Usually, there have been warnings from both parties that have been disregarded. If you are the child in an abusive situation, look to the future. Find a temporary place to live, look for a job and so on. It may be tough at first, but determination will find a way. Check in with local social agencies for help.

Yes, tickling someone's feet or holding them down against their will and tickling them is a form of abuse. When a person says no to certain physical contact because it upsets then then the person using this physical action should stop!

She seemed to have some sort of bipolar, personality disorter possibly? there life seemdd fine when David was young but as he grew she seemed to grow a certain hatred against him as if something inside was telling her it was someone else.

• It is a strong person who can recognize a terminally ill parent who has been abusive to them and yes, it is possible and mature to see the abusive treatment as part of that terminally ill disease.

First, be brave and tell your dad he needs to stop and get help. Let him know how much he is hurting you. If he can do that and your relationship can be mended, Mom need not know. The reason I say this is because your dad is not a monster. He is just emotionally distraught, but if you tell your mom, it could destroy your family. However, if Dad is unwilling to change, you have to tell her.

Prepare her for it. Be blunt. Forgive her if she refuses to believe you. People often disregard things that are difficult to hear. Persuade her the best you can that you are telling the truth. If she cannot be persuaded, tell someone of authority. Be brave. If you do not take quick action, it will probably continue and lead to more than fondling.

If you are speaking of something that happened in the past and no longer happens, tell a psychiatrist. At that point, it is you that needs to deal with it and you needn't put that burden on your mother.

Either way, you probably need counseling. Don't let someone tell you medication is required, however. What you need is to talk it out and learn to deal with it. You must not let the bad actions of your father control the rest of your life.

exactly but if he's done it more than once you need to confront him and tell the police because if you don't the likelyhood of it is that he'll just keep on doing it.

you shuld just ask him if he can stop and make an annoyed face and above all dont cry

The 'underground railroad' title is often misunderstood. During slavery there was an actual underground railroad to bring blacks into Canada or to other States. The term 'Underground Railroad' for battered women means there is a retreat for battered women and their children to go too to be protected; given support and free legal counsel. In Michigan for years there was no retreat for battered women or children to go and a 'safe house' was inspired to house well over 750 women during the 1980's and over 1,000 children. Here is the link for 'Underground Railroad, Inc.' You can contact them once you have clicked on the link. http://www.undergroundrailroadinc.org/history.html

* No, the police cannot charge anyone with verbal abuse unless a serious threat can be proven. Physical abuse leaves marks and thus the police can charge the batterer.

I also have an abusive sibling. She is verbally andphysically abusive. What I do about it is that I ignore her when she is verbally abusing me, because I know that I am notugly or stupid etc. And when she is physically abusing me I ask her if there is a reason for her beating me up and that nobody will want to be around her if she's always mean. She usually responds, "DO YOU THINK I CARE???" and goes back to beating me up, but I think your sibling is nicer than mine and I hope that they will respond nicer. If none of those work, then run and tell your parents. Also, you should defend yourself, if none of those work. You've got to stand up for yourself, or take self-defense classes.

A 2yo is a toddler and not a infant. And beating a child never leads anywhere. If he is using it to teach the child not to do anything dangerous it will just lead to fear. And does he want his son to fear him? The terrible two's is called that for a reason. It's like a early puberty with temper tantrums and defiance. It's a part of growing up and it's a part of being a parent. Choose you battles. Don't give the child too many options and whatever you do STICK TO YOUR GUNS! You and your husband have to be a union. If you need counseling there are experts that can guide the two of you.

If he beats the child as in child abuse get out or kick him out. It's your job as a parent to protect your child. If this goes on and something really bad happens they will wonder why you did nothing and if the child is safe with you. Call the police on him. Your priority is the child and not him. He's an adult who can take care of himself and make his own choices.

• Be very wary about what you are doing. If you have not seen any bruises; black eyes; split lips or missing teeth on your girlfriend then there is a slight possibility she may have tried to abort the baby or, there could have been a reason the baby was naturally aborted. Do not blame the mother and aunt immediately, but take your girlfriend to a doctor and express your concerns and they will know whether your girlfriend has been beaten or not or if the baby was unnaturally/naturally aborted. If there are signs of physical abuse then your girlfriend can press charges against her mother and the aunt.

• Mothers may seem to be excluding the first born adult child because inwardly she knows that child is less of a problem; more mature and doesn't have to worry about them. Sometimes the other siblings can get into all sorts of trouble and mothers are there to try and get them through the rough spots and hopefully change their bad behavior. If you don't think your mother loves you then you are wrong. If you feel this strongly then sit down with your mother privately and tell her how you feel. You most likely will be surprised about how much she truly does love you. In many cases it is the first born that the mothers seem to love the most.

No technically they are not. You are allowed to report such an act and it will be considered child abuse. Prosecution and charges are possible if felt necessary and the person hit was a minor. If you are not a minor, it can be called assault and prosecution and charges are possible if felt necessary as well.

Leaving is the first step, so until you work up the courage to leave, nobody can help you. All it takes is for you to walk out the door and go to a good friend or family member's house (there are also many homes that provide refuge for people in your situation).

Yes and no. The top is the giver and the bottom is the reciever. But many lesbians are flexible and change roles in the bedroom.

You are in a mess. No. Back talk does not give your dad the right to hit you and threaten you. Still, the law does not like to get involved in family matters. So, even by telling the cops that it is happening, it might not help your cause. Talk to a school counselor. You need to find out how to get someone on your side.

You are in charge of your own children! You have to set the rules and talk to the grandmother about her abusive ways with your children and if she refuses to listen to you then you need to protect your children by taking them out of that environment and telling the grandmother she can come visit on your terms and if she doesn't agree to that then she can't see her grandchildren at all. Please take into consideration (depending on the age of grandmother) if she is elderly that medications can change a person's personality or Alzheimer's or it's partner Dementia can be setting in. In this case you will have to try a different way to take the children out of this destructive environment, yet be there when the grandmother comes to visit them to protect your children against her verbal abuse. If matters get worse and the children are very young you will have to make the difficult choice of keeping the grandmother away from them.

With a third party, meet with the teen at dinner and state that the arrangement is not working for either of you and that he needs to shape up or move out. Lay out the new expectations with a time limit for improvement and mandatory classes in anger management. This gives him a last gasp chance to face the issues (and you too), as well as a finite reason to send him out on his own. HOWEVER, if you feel that his abuse could turn into physical abuse, all deals are off.

If he is younger than 18, you will have to fund and co-sign for an apartment. Otherwise, you can set a date a month off for him to have a lease for you to sign (State the dollar amount) or you will be making the plans for him after that date.

All in all, it is a tough thing to navigate moving a difficult, non functioning person out of your home and regaining your peace. Pay for the truck to move him, and make sure he takes everything with him (with our guy, we rented a 26 foot truck just to be sure it all went).

Not necessarily. There is more to it than just lumping it into a "child abuse" category. To many unanswered questions involving the situation to say it was "definately" child abuse.

These situations are hard. There are two solutions to a problem like this. Sit down with your father, and tell him how you feel. Pore your entire soul into what you are saying. Make him understand how you feel. If, deep down, he really is a fatherly figure, he will realize his mistake and hopefully you will be able to further remedy the situation together.

The next solution is for worst case scenarios. If your father/guardian is emotionally and physically abusing you to the point that you feel you are about to snap and do something harmful to him, yourself, or anybody else, you HAVE to inform someone. Whether it be a relative, a teacher, or even the police. You must tell someone. It might be embarrassing at first, but in the end, it could prevent a lot of emotional pain.

When it comes down to it, you are the one who has to make the decision. Just be sure to make the right one.

* 'Family environment' is the use of the five senses: sight; audio; smell; oral and touch. When living with ones family it is up to the parents to guide the children in the right direction so they become mentally and physically strong to face the world when they are out on their own. No family is perfect and there will be arguments and problems in a family, but a healthy family will have quality time together; father and son will bond to a degree as daughter and mother will bond to a certain degree and even through sibling rivalry the sibling will most likely stay close as adults if at all possible. Family outings and eating meals together helps bond the family unity. House rules set by parents are to keep their children under control to keep them safe and from harms way and to teach them they can't have everything in life on their own terms because life is full of rules. If a child has been brought up with these qualities within the family (relatives included) then they are lucky and are most likely to be well adjusted adults. Some are not as fortunate and come from dysfunctional families. If a child is brought up with sexually or physically abusive parents; a parent who is an alcoholic; on drugs or are malcontent then some children who come from this environment will not receive the guidance they need in the future and will feel depressed; not accepted by their peers and may get low grades in school or have problems holding down a job. Besides family the environment around us wherever we go such as school; college; being with friends; the workplace or even walking somewhere will have a good impact on the individual or an unpleasant impact on them.
