Well im not sure if its me or my dad I think he abuses me and I want to call or talk to some one but if I do this I might be wrong and make a huge mistake. Well once my dad couldn’t find his white undershirts (they were on his bed btw) ,and he hit me and left a belt mark with bruises all around it. Later the belt mark all turned into one big bruise. Once I lost a pencil and he hit me and there was a huge bruise on my leg but then when I talk to him about it he denies it so please help is it normal or is it in my head?

    This is not normal. Talk to an adult you trust about this.

    Time to seek help of another trusted adult!

    This breaks me up because it reminds me of what it was like. The three I remember were about the order the reels of a fruit machine stop in, throwing a single piece of straw on his car roof, and whether or not to use apricot jam to make icing stick to a christmas cake. It sounds so ridiculous in retrospect, the stupidity of what would make him lash out.

    I don't know what to say to you because I just suffered it until one day when I was 16. I inherited his physique and I was growing into it rapidly. If anything, I'm even broader and stronger than him. And, at 16, already taller. He went to clout me around the head and rather than cover my face, I instinctively pulled my fist back. It stopped him in his tracks and there must have been something that he saw in my face because we both knew that I was going to avenge sixteen years of abuse in that one shot. If he forced me into it, I was going to knock him into the middle of next week. But he didn't. He cowered, crept away, and never laid another finger on me.

    I'm going to advise you to tell someone you trust. But I'm also fully aware, having been in this position, that not only did I not take this advice, I don't think I would do even if I had to go through it all again. You'll understand that, and anyone else who's been through it will understand. You really should tell someone, though. Please?

    Not normal at all. Do not think you are making a mistake if you seek help. This must stop!

    Please, please, please talk to an adult you trust. This is physical abuse and no one deserves to endure it. Don't wait to talk to someone, it could get worse. Good luck and I hope you find the help you need to get out of this BAD situation.
