+1 yEh. My dad used to be like that too. And my older siblings were like that too with the younger siblings.(Surprisingly my mother never hit us) I don't see it as the worst thing in the world. But hitting in the face is not cool by me.
You can either choose to call the cops, though I think that's a little drastic. I'm not 100% sure based on the description you gave. So I cannot tell if that'd be the best move for you. Unless he has signs that he's done that before. But if it's his first time, Idk. I know my family was strict sometimes when they were living with me and I was younger. It'd be awkward to have them arrested just for them to come out and make it even more awkward and possibly dangerous. If he has done this more than once, for sure call cuz it's a pattern.
But if you don't call the cops. There's really nothing else you can do but talk to your mom and dad.03 Reply
Asker+1 yThankyou! You completely understand that it's difficult for me to just get him arrested, plus most of the time I agree hitting is ok but I just thought it was abit unnecessary for him to punch me but THANKYOU for understanding

Basically. It's just that I know what that whole situation is like.
It sucks, but you gotta think about how uncomfortable it'd be and how much more it will actually complicate things if you do.
Unless of course he's hit you in the face before. Then you should call the cops on him.
My dad rarely hit us in the face. He'd say "I'm not stupid enough to leave evidence." Which was even scarier for us. Cuz he knew how to beat our asses without leaving bruises or marks, or at least not easily visible.
If you can't take any legal measures, just talk to him and your mother and tell him that it's disrespectful and careless to hit in the face.
Asker+1 yThanks babes! Yeah you too! Take care

Man that's harsh shyt right there. I got bitch slapped so hard once by my dad in front of my friends that he made my nose bleed I tackled the SHYT out of my dad. He knew not to EVER put his hands on me again, I was 15 at the time, I supposedly "talked back" smh. My mom didn't do anything about it and I was about to call the cops but nope my mom didn't let me. Shame anyway my dad never hit me after that, he knows I don't play anymore. I wouldn't tolerate ANY of that crap though. LIKE ZERO!

Asker+1 yAtta girl! 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Asker+1 yAbsolutely
I'm so sorry! Look no matter what happened it's not ok for a man to hit a girl. there's not much that can be done right now unless you wanna get the police involved. If you don't want to get police involved, maybe a school councilor could help? Other than that these situations are hard to resolve. Let your dad cool down, and try to keep your distance. I'm so sorry this happened. That's is awful and what you did wasn't even that bad.

Asker+1 yI agree, it was very unreasonable of him! Thankyou for your advise
Your father needs some serious help. He needs cognitive training to get him to deal with his anger in better ways. Medication might not hurt either. If this has been going on as long as you say, he will likely need long term therapy.
Personally I would call the police and get him arrested and charged. Have the court order him to get professional help. Have the doctor submit a progress report to the courts every couple months. If there is not enough progress after a designated length of time, he goes to jail. If he miss an appointment without a legitimate, verifiable excuse. He goes to jail.
In jail he must continue with the therapy and does not get out until the dr. thinks he is stable enough. As well, when he. gets out have a court order in place that he will have to stay the f**k away from you.11 Reply
+1 yYour dad was totally wrong for doing that to you , i hope karma gets him sorry for your
hurt you don't deserve that one bit i don't care , you did normal teen stuff so he gets pissed
oh my dad he is prick too and never loved me, only loves my sister cause she has a daughter
which is his only grand-daughter , i never see none of them cause of course i am treated like a
outcast. I hope things get better for you and if your dads hurting you i hope you can tell someone

Crazy old man needs to learn how to respect people and his daughter. Asshole!
Im sorry, but unless you do take actions yourself this is probably going to happen again
Next time might be so bad that you may have lasting damages for life. who knows. With a dad like that, this can easily be your last post ever on earth... Think about it
HE doesn't give a fuck about you if he can hit you like that... I understand its going to far to even slap you or maybe push you around. BUt to hit you that way, he doesn't give a fuck about you
Do something, DONT stand for abuse! IT can mentally mess you up in the future. Iv seen it on many women that are now 30 and have issues because there dad was abusive like yours.11 Reply
Asker+1 yYeah they say that you get into an abusive relationship yourself if u have an abusive parent! And I want to avoid that
+1 yIf you don't clean off the evidence off your face (the blood) then you can call the cops, they'll come out, they'll see what happened and they'll take him away. That's insane of him and should not be tolerated.

Ya take pictures of the damage first
How does it matter that you're not living in the country of your birthplace? Are you adopted or something? Why do you care if your dad gets in trouble he punched you in the face? I don't get why you were on gag if you're not going to call the police because that's the only thing to do.

Asker+1 yI mean for me to call the police me and my whole family could get kicked out of the country and then my brother and mom would hate me for getting my dad put in prison and getting us all sent back to England
- +1 y
Are you all not citizens. Think about it. Would you rather be physically abused or have people be mad at you (which is stupid considering your mom and brother should be mad you got punched). At the very least you should talk to a school counselor. Maybe your entire family could go to family counseling. Are you okay? Did he do anything else?
Asker+1 yI'm fine now Thankyou!
Asker+1 yNo he never apologises, tbh I feel bad for him! He has something wrong with his head. He lost his dad when he was very young so he had a rough upbringing. And sometimes I pity him because he doesn't have any kind of remorse or guilt, and he is quite bipolar and needs help but for now I shall stick up for myself like I continue doing and teach myself to never let a man hit me like tha when I am older:) thanks for commenting and leaving support
- +1 y
Oh I'm sorry. yes tough parents sometimes pass down their behaviors. I'm sorry my original opinion sounded harsh I was just really shocked and worried. Be careful though I don't condone abusive situations but if it gets worse Id report it. If you feel threatened for your life I know there's hotlines you can call for advice and help.
Asker+1 yThat's ok! Thankyou for your help
Your Dad sounds like an ass. Sorry you have that in your life. You shouldn't be sneaking around but no one deserves to be hit especially by their own family. You need to go to the police. You don't want this to happen again and you don't want to have to carry this the rest of your life either. It sucks, it definitely sucks. But the hard part is standing up for yourself the first time. You need to do this tomorrow before the bruises go away.

Asker+1 yThanks
+1 yhe is abusing you. even if they will hate you for putting him in jail he deserves it. even if you get sent back to your country it's his fault. the law will protect you and he deserves it. if he doesn't wanna go back to your country then he shouldn't hit you in the first place. and you know you can hit him back right? if you can't report him then he can't report you. hit him back practice. hit him hard.
03 Reply
Asker+1 yI would hit him back, but my dad is incredibly strong and I wouldn't be able to hurt him, he's got a lot of weight and strength on me
- +1 y
then call the police. if he gets dragged back to his country (that if it's not jail) it's his fault. and if your family actually says it's your fault then fuck them and you should complain about them
Asker+1 yThanks ok
+1 yThis is abuse and should not be tolerated by Anyone but I don't know how you'd go about getting something done about it. He clearly doesn't love you very much. You've done hardly anything wrong and didn't deserve physical abuse.

Well shit. you'll have to the shit tomorrow from your dad. If he doesn't calm down stay well away. But once you've talked it over it might be alright in the end.
Asker+1 yI hope so

Asker+1 yIknow, yeah she just tells me to ignore him:/

I have gotten that. It's not that easy is it?
Asker+1 yNot atall
+1 yWhat kind of dad is that? He should have at least heard u out and punching is completely unacceptable. I'm sorry if this happened to you. If u dont want the police involved, just keep your distance. I've been slapped by my dad before, so I just kept my distance, and now were fine.
Stay strong01 Reply
Asker+1 yTHANKYOU very much
So you're dad is worried about something bad happening to you when out and about, and punishes you by punching you in the face... logic has been thrown out the window.
31 Reply
Asker+1 yAbsolutely agree
spanking... fine, but punching your child in the face? a punch? call the authorities... that is not acceptable... im SO HEATED right now. where is your mom? mothers don't tolerate this either.
18 Reply
Asker+1 yI ranted to my mom lastnight about how he punched me and she said that he's worried about me and I was "asking for it" no help atall from anyone, I honestly hate my dad
Asker+1 yHe doesn't, but he has when I was younger! My mom told me one day when she was angry at him that when me and my brother were very young he head butted her in the face and gave her two black eyes and he said that she "made him do it"
Asker+1 yYeah he always says that he stays married to my mom for me and my brother but me and my brother wouldn't care if he was around or not because he belittles all of us, and if he's not picking on me he's picking on my brother and if not him then my mom, he makes all of us feel inferior and he will never compliment my mom and he criticizes her cooking and he has called her fat and ugly and lazy, and he calls my brother a bum and me a cunt
Asker+1 yBoth 24 I think
+1 ywhen i argue with my father and when he used to hit me i talked about it with my mom bc we have a closer relationship. she always helps me. or find somebody else who can help you deal with him

Asker+1 yThanks
