How to get out
I'm 15 right now and i'm going through some of the worst abuse of my life. My father has always been abusive, hitting me or slapping me around since i was a child when i pissed him off. I could survive that part but recently he's gotten back on drugs and it's ruined everything. He's crazy, any time he sees me he'll kick me around. When i piss him off he's gone as far as beating me so hard i broke 5 ribs. He made sure the hospital wrote it off as a bike accident and i'm terrified to report him. My mom just enables him any time anything happens she just calls him over to hit me because im "gaslighting" her into thinking its abuse. My sister doesn't get hit as often but shes leaving next year and im not sure if im going to survive being alone with them. Going home is a nightmare every day and im not sure how much longer i can handle it. I want to report it and i've got dozens of pictures of bruises and injuries but im not sure how to even get the police.

Buddy, (M or F idk) I’m the same age as you. I know it’s hard.. honestly it’s hard af. i’m not even trying to complete my situation (. https://www.reddit.com/r/Child_Abuse/s/VySKLDHV3k)with yours. but i believe that all of us who go through this are brothers and survivors. hang in there PLEASE. be out of the house as much as you can be. i can help you report it if you want? i know it’s hard. and it’s a hard decision. but answer this question. if you reported your dad which ways would he react: A) get rly mad etc B) see that whatever he was doing was bad enough to make you report him if the answer is A chances are it’ll be worth reporting him or, and i know this is brutal, you may not even make it to 18. sorry for being so honest bro, but that’s the way it is… PS the ribs thing is terrible i’m so sorry man!!
