Like, several weeks ago I saw a pic of her with bruise under the eye… and I asked “wtf” then she replied that it was dark (under the eye) because of mascara.
Now, today, she said he had beaten her back then.
It’s simply sad. As my both parents still normalise the abuse. Both physical and emotional…
Report this to the authorities
I am not going to do this. When I was teen and I was abused I called police. This time its different. My mom would even support my dad, abd lie that nothing happened.
I simply know this family too well. They won’t change no matter what I would do
Your mom needs to leave. She probably is scared to though. My dad abused my mom for years and she left when I was 13. It was hard but the best for her.
I dont think she is scared to leave. She lets this ■■■■ happen for many years, and even lies that nothing happened.
It’s true that she is likely to lie and say it didn’t happen. It’s heartbreaking. I went through that growing up.
It was very confusing when I was little that my mom would act like nothing happened. I used to call the cops a lot.
Eventually I started getting punished.
The last time I called was when my dad beat my mom until he broke her back and she couldn’t get off the floor.
They finally divorced
I know it would be best for my parents to broke up, but the main thing is they’re both overusing alcohol and something which is definitely toxic keeps them together
Heartbreaking @LilyoftheValley
Nobody should be going through such things. It’s very relatable what you’re sayin…
Sadly, my mom believes physical abuse is normal. She once said that probably my future husband will too, abuse me… what a crazy thing to say
Careful not get worse
This is sad. I’m sorry she said that to you. Abuse is not normal.
Right it will get worse. Someone I know got hit in the head with a hammer, because her husband thought she was cheating on him… these things escalate…
Unfortunately it is very common for children in abusive homes to pick abusers as partners when they get older. But the cycle can be broken.
Good thing is, as we and my bf had almost 3 year relationship - he never raised a hand.
He never abused me.
But there were different difficulties… he was really cold sometimes. We’re now in such stage when both of us are not sure shall we split or stay, but I hope it will be more clear in days or weeks.
If he’s cold now, he’ll be colder later. I’d say it’s time to split. But it’s up to you.
Strange though, he is someone I fell for deeply. I rarely have so many feelings for a single person.
Also, I found relaxation in his place because I can leave my parents toxicity. I mean it’s better almost everywhere than in my parents house…
We both did some fu*** up things, but not something very bad. I really can say harsh and bad things, and after that he becomes ignorant.
Well time will show if we should stay together or no
Sadly, I believe that my bad words are simply learnt as a coping mechanism in my family
If you’re both doing bad things, it’s probably an unhealthy relationship where you bring out the not so good things in each other.
Call. The. Police.
If you don’t report it then you’re part of it.
Nope. How I am gona prove it if it hapenned two weeks ago and my mom gonna lie that nothing hapenned?
I have no proof @ozymandias
You had proof two weeks ago. Call next time it happens.
It could end badly. I think you should ask your mother to see a domestic violence councillor.
My dad was violent to my mother on occasions. She was neurotic. Either one of them could have killed each other. Then they got divorced luckily.
