My sister has been in a very abusive relationship with this guy for the past two years. She won’t leave him. I have accepted that she won’t leave until she’s ready but I still try and make sure she’s safe. Our dad on the other hand has allowed it to frustrate him. She came home recently and he attacked her. He called her a bum who chooses to be with a bum. He called her a dumb b**** that jumps whenever her boyfriend tells her to. He called her stupid and told her she wasn’t sh** and that he only had one daughter (me). He even slapped her and pushed her when she tried to go in the refrigerator. And justified him doing it by saying “You like stuff like that anyway. It must turn you on.” He told her she couldn’t touch anything in the house anymore. He even threatened her after she called our mom. while all of this went down (our mom was at work) but my sister had her on speaker and while on speaker he told my sister he was gonna be in jail and she was gonna be in the hospital if she kept back talking him but he deserved everything she said to him because he started with her first and was treating her like a stranger on the street rather than being a father. Now she has disappeared again and we don’t know if she’s okay or not. I don’t even look at my father the same anymore. He went about the situation all wrong. He did all that after telling her “I never hit your mom so why would you allow him to hit you?” He contradicted himself then said he never hit our mom or any woman because he never had a reason to. As if to say he would if given a reason but he’s calling her all out of name and treating her like crap when she probably already feels that way, for staying with an abuser but he acted just like him. What he did just pushed her more toward him. He doesn’t even feel the least bit guilty.
As a father, is it ever okay to treat your daughter like this?
