My father mentally absues my younger sister, always yelling at her and saying really mean things to her, my parents are divorced but she is much younger than I and she still has to go with him...He does not think he does anything wrong, what can I do? They have already been to court numerous times.

I am sorry about your sisters situation, I personally would have the conversations recorded - if I could maybe you should go on a visit or two with her and hide the recorder if she is to young to do it her self, then I would go to your mom and if that isn't enough then I would go to the attorney that did the divorce and the child protective services. Good luck to you.

And Your MOM where is she in all of this?? Why hasn't she stepped up to the plate to protect your sister--why do you have to go to court on your sisters behalf?? You need proof that your Dad is in fact being out of line in verbal abuse --so I would suggest that your sister take a recording devise (hidden of course) and get him on tape--then take that to a judge to listen to--and see if then the situation can be changed on visitation--a hidden camera would be even better so there is not only sound but a definite image of him yelling at her and saying hurtful things

That's very hard to do given the legal framework in each respective state. Your best bet is to file for custody rights for your little sister citing mental abuse to help your sister escape her nightmare. I wish I was of more use in your quest for a sensible answer. Thus, I advise you speak to an attorney about the situation. Good luck, and wish your sister the best!

Have you discussed this w/ your mother? You should start there, and then get her a counselor, who can help her to put into words the way your father makes her feel. If the counselor suspects abuse they have to by law turn in the situation to the proper authorities. Then you can use that in court to limit visitation w/ your father. Good luck.

Well, if you know all of this is going on then maybe next time you need to go with her with a hidden tape recorder and record what he says to her that way you can let the judge hear it when you head back to court and that way she will no longer have to be around someone like that...........
Good Luck and I hope all gets better for your family and you get all of this resolved

Talk to your father. How he treats her is going to affect her future relationships with men. She may turn out to be needy, or be a people pleaser to get the acceptance she isn't getting from her father. That is exactly what you have called it, mental abuse. Talk to your sister also, and let her know he is the problem, not her.

I would say to your mom we are not going because dad says these mean things to sis and we are tired of listening to him. It isn't fair that an adult take their anger out on a child! This is a form of verbal, emotional, and mental abuse! Refuse going to see him! If you choose not to go that is a choice that has to be respected...why would you want to go to listen to him yell at her? Stand up for her and tell your mom until he gets control of his anger you are staying home. She does not have to go if he is abusing her like this!!!!

Be there for your sister, encourage her to study hard, get a good job and get the hell away from your father, until he comes to his senses.
Or
Ask your dad what you can do to shut his trap. If he doesn't have a valid ans, divorce your parents, i mean, do it for your sister.

My best bet that is not only mental but verbal abuse. If it is worst enough, then contact the National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4A-CHILD.
