was this abuse?

Question

pretty much since i could walk, i was pushed down stairs, shoved at microway cabnits and blocks of wood, the wood caused a minor concussion, and he sprained my arms a couple of dozen times, now he just either yells at me or ignores me. was this abuse?

Answer 1

thats really not a question...you know the answer... go get some help and/or get out!!call the cops and they will help you get out... depending on your age now you might just be able to leave now but if you are underage you need the LAW!!!

Answer 2

A push is physical abuse.... yelling is mental abuse.... ignoring can be abuse.... and all of it can be derived from depressive state from the abuser. Now you say this happened since you could walk, and things pretty much settled into yelling or ignoring...... sounds like you have put up with this for a long time. If you are 18 or older, sounds like its time to get out on your own, one way or another..... if you are still under the legal age, then perhaps you best be thinking of ways to stay out of the way, and make the plans to survive when its time to get out. One suggestion, find a priest to confide your worries in. They are held to keep the "confession" secret if you instruct them to. But personally, if this has really been bad on you, perhaps talking to another adult may help some, and it could stir up a real hornet nest of trouble if that adult decides that you dont need to be in that scene and involves the state and the cops. Abuse is not right, it is up to you to take a stand on your life.

Good luck.

Anything that causes physical pain is abuse. I'm guessing this is a close family member and since you're older, he seems to have switched from physical abuse to verbal and emotional abuse. Is he or has he done this to anyone else in the house? If so, you need to tell someone. I know the consequences may be great, but you need to get out of that house. No one deserves to be treated like that. My sister was in an abusive relationship for 5 years before she found the courage to get out, and she mainly did it to protect her son. You might want to read "The Lost Boy" by Dave Pelzer. It's very eye-opening. Have faith and courage and I hope that you will not have to endure this abuse for very much longer.

Answer 4

All of it is abuse, even now the yelling and ignoring you is abuse.

Its all abuse both physical and emotional. Tell some one cause this is just not right. No one deserves either type of abuse. You need to get away from this right now.

Answer 5

YES!!!
Physical, mental, emotional and verbal. If you are feeling depressed, you better talk to a counsellor. You need to know how to stand up for yourself and most importantly, how to defend yourself should any physical abuse happen in the future. You never know what might trigger that person to harm you physically or when. Please speak to someone about this if you ever feel threatened. Take care and goodluck.

Answer 6

Oh yes , you can correct someone by taking away some of the fun time, talking, but never hurt physically

Answer 7

How can you stay with such a person!No one has the right to abuse you.Go and get some help because you don't deserve to be a victim,

Answer 8

It's hard to follow what you mean. But, from what you indicate, it sounds like abuse. If you are still around this person, I'd seek a better place to be or person to be with.

Answer 9
