My dad just hit me

Go to Abuse and Safety

My dad has pretty much been an alcoolic as far as I can remember, he drinks a lot most days of the week, I have confronted him about it numerous times and havent talked to him, made eye contact, etc. for over 15 weeks now.

Today though for whatever reason I got into an argument about with him, this escalated and I spat on him, he then looked at me really wierdly and ran unto me, put me into a headlock and punched me in the face once before I freed myself and ran for my mum, who was asleep, I then have locked myself into my room and dont know what to do, so I made this, I guess.

I am 15, I feel like I'm acting childish, and that I should of just punched him back, but I am very pascifist and really dont like violence. I really dont know what to do.

So, help I guess.

if he is an achaholic u could be in danger. Your dad prberly really loves you but it is the drink talkin when he hit u . Try and get your dad sober and talk to him. If this isnt ideal talk to ur mum, friend, friends mum or someone you trust x

Hello x
My advice - not everyones cup of tea

Na dont hit him, it will put you in the wrong
even if you did spit at him, that doesnt mean he can hurt his own child like that
Tell your mum, if she alraedy knows or doesnt do anything about it, then try and talk to your dad.. if that makes it worse, then ask a friend or whoever you trust to help :)

Hope i helped xx

If your dad drinks leave him alone when he's drinking, find him when he's sober and talk to him. My dad beats me up like every day for no reason so the alchohol in making ure dad do it. Hope this helps (U)
