My father has been emotionally abusive since I was 3.....I am soo tired of trying to keep up with his next game, or plot, or whatever. I have gotten help, but it is not working...I am too scared to talk about him. I don't know what to do to deal with this. I am getting tired and overwhelmed, I don't know how much longer I can keep up with all of the expectations and constant crap. I don't know what to do? I know that there are people much worse off than I, I don't mean to say that there aren't. I acknowledge that, I just want to know what I can do since emotional abuse is not illegal, reportable, etc.?

Been there babe, my mother was schizophrenic and my dad left us with her when I was 9. She tried to kill me (tried to strangle me in my bed) because she thought my dad would come back if she killed me and my 2 sisters. It was downhill from there until I was 18 and moved out. It was total survival for me and my sisters until we came of age, and we just survived for each other. We all now have wonderful lives and families, all graduated from college (on our own power) and are happy. Mom finally committed suicide when I was 30, but not without many years in there of attempted mental abuse. Honey, your dad can NOT hurt you mentally unless you let him. Revel in your uniqueness, in your future, in your potential (in which he has NO power). Save your money now for your escape later. You have the power, sweetie, you will survive and conquer.

It may not be illegal but it is still WRONG. Talk to your councilor and just let them know what is going on. I somewhat know what you are going through.... But then again I don't. My last relationship was like that, I think it would be harder with it being your father. but you need NEED to let someone know or it will never stop. Just keep tough and always remember that you are a beautiful, intelligent, woman!
Good Luck and God Bless

sweetie emotional abuse is all so mental abuse and there are laws against mentally abusing a child . report your father to your local health and human resource office . they have a team of social workers who investigate child abuse and if proven to be true they can remove you from your parents home.

Tell a teacher, a couselor, a preacher anyone. They will get you away from that somehow.
