Why does my father hit me?

Question

My father caught me in my sisters bathing suit. He hit me and he said mean things.

I feel really depressed.

what can i do?

Answer 1

sometimes some parents are under terrible stress, and bad tempers and violence is there way of dealing with it,its not you, my dear there is something wrong, very wrong with a parent who takes there anger out on a child.now,a span-kin now and then for discipline works on some children, but sometimes some parents go over board, and they need to be stopped and punished.so I'd say if you feel dad is going over board?then you start letting people know. I'm really sorry and i dint know the circumstances, really?but stay out of trouble and good luck to you and god bless you

Answer 2

You need to call the police. This is a very serious matter that none of you are able to handle on your own. There are professionals that can help you and your family. This man will continue to abuse all of you until 1 if 2 things happen- 1. either you call the police or 2. He beats one of you to death. Is that a chance you're willing to take? How heavy would that burden be to carry for the rest of your life? You are obligated to stop this man, for everyone's safety. Call the police and immediately file for an emergency restraining order. Make sure your girl does too. That way you wont have to move before youre ready. Unfortunately it will be up to your mom to file one for herself but as long as your with her in the house she should be safe.Your mom isn't capable if making the right decisions for herself so you need to do it for her. Don't play this bullshit game. He's a bully and picks on those who can't/wont defend themselves. He's a punk. If it were up to me the police would arrest him, the next day when he got out he'd be picked up by a few friends. He'd be driven somewhere nice and remote and given a taste if his own medicine. Might even do him good to be stripped of his clothes and left to walk home bare-assed. See how he fairs against someone who can defend themselves. Sound harsh? Maybe. Does he deserve it? Absolutely.

Not sure it matters alot if you are a cross dresser or want a sex change or what or who you are and what or who you prefer to be. Physical abuse is not to be tolerated under ANY circumstances.

I don't know how old you are, so I don't know if it would be considered child abuse ot just physical abuse of an adult. And you didn't say if you have a mother present and what her input is on the situation.

This is a site with some information on abuse. Under the 'victim' link there is a checklist which poses questions for you to answer about the issue:

In any case, you need to find someone to talk to about your preference and depression issues so that you can find ways to live how you want to. I suggest if you are in school, talk wiht a guidance counselor. If you are an adult, you need to check in with mental health to discuss the subject. They will not look down on you, they will find programs to help you come to terms with how you feel.

If abuse continues you need to report it so that you can get assistnace to stop it from continuing.

Depending on your age, if your family continues to berate you and abuse you and does not come to terms with who you are, then you need to look into options that will help you find another place to live (including foster care if a minor).

Answer 4

Depending on how your father was raised says it all.
Normal males don't wear womens clothes although women wear mens clothes mostly because they fit better than some womens clothes.
If this was the only incident,I wouldn't make too much about it,but you might ask your dad why he hit you instead of talking to you.

Answer 5

he hit as a reaction to shock. parents find it really hard when they discover their children aren't 'normal'. what you are doing is not wrong but your dad just lost it in a moment of madness. unless this is isnt the first time he has hit you?
how old ru? what is relationship like with your dad? could u talk to him about it, or maybe your mum? if you are confused about your sexuality go and see your GP. it is completely confidential and he will be able to advise you on how to deal this. good luck and be proud of who you are.

Answer 6

You crossed the line in secretly wearing your sister's bathing clothes. Do not call the cops. Realize your mistake, talk to your dad and tell him you won't do it anymore. Things will be better in time.

Answer 7

Well if your a guy he did the right thing.If your a sister, then maybe he is trying to teach you to leave your sister's things alone (this applies if youre a dude too).

Answer 8

I read your other questions.Your a female or so says one of your other questions.Your a female and want to get a sex change to a male???So how are we supposed to know why he hit you???And your other question says your a gay cross dresser and your a man.

Answer 9

He's abusive. Talk to a counselor.

Answer 10

tell ur mom then she will talk to your dad and why did he hit you just for that tell my at [e-mail]
