Subject: Re: Need Advice Author: anonymous [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:29:48 11/03/12 Sat In reply to: anonymous 's message, "Need Advice" on 21:30:28 09/29/12 Sat I tried talking to our Pastor. All he would say was how important it was for me to obey my parents or any other adults. I talked to one of my teachers from last year. He talked to my Mom with me, but then she talked to her boyfriend who denied everything and said I was lying. Now I'm in trouble with my Mom and her boyfriend. Again.

[> Subject: Re: Need Advice Author: David (Chandler's father) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:26:11 11/03/12 Sat It really sounds to me like your step-father is on a power trip. If he's making you redo properly done homework I'd suggest having your teacher set up a conference with him to show him the way it's expected to be done. Sometimes they have to be humbled to wise up. I'm also concerned about the "belt set aside for me," comment. There's a big difference between spanking out of love and spanking to be the boss. It sounds like he intends the latter. You need some intervention before it's too late. I'd keep a journal of all the times he threatens you and makes you redo homework and if possible find a way to record the dialogue. I'm going to talk about this to a friend of mine who's a deputy sheriff and see what he thinks. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Need Advice Author: Tohru [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:32:53 11/04/12 Sun He is not even a step father, he is just a live in boyfriend at this point. This kind of family situation is not healthy, but it happens far too often. Try to hang in there, anonymous, and get out when you turn 18 if it is intolerable. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
