You could call CPS. Hitting you with a belt may be considered abusive in your locale. But you may be removed to foster care. Are there other adults you know who might take you in? An aunt or uncle, a friend's parents, a grandparent? You might call a hotline for abused women or children to get better advice.

my mom
they share custody

[slatyb]

Could you live with your mom full time? He will have a hard time enforcing a custody order if you testify to abuse.

It is impossible to know who is "in the right" here, but sounds like bad things on both sides. But if he is beating you with a belt and being sexual toward you, then the police should be involved.

he called me a spoiled brat cause i didn’t like my cofeee and made the lady make me a new one and when we got home he told me shit

I think he needs to get arrested for assault. Personally I don't believe in corporal punishment on kids. If a parent is still relying on a belt when the child is already much older, something is seriously wrong with them and the household.

[Asker]

yah and he was also being sexual towards me

[Vesuvius87]

Then that's even more reason for him to not only get arrested but register as a sex offender and have his parental rights immediately taken away.

[Asker]

yah he says my dress is too short why he staring.

[Vesuvius87]

What are you waiting for? You need to notice other adults abouts it, anyone close to your area about what's happening. If there are bruises, take pictures of them.

I am viscerally opposed to corporal punishment and a mandated reporter of same. I'm quite sure you don't want my opinion but can guess.

I am so sorry for you ,
Even dad is everything for a daughter in the world..

[Vesuvius87]

Not if he's beating her with a belt and being sexual (as her updated comment says) towards her.

[wkhan_87]

Yes I read that's why am so sorry for her..

[wkhan_87]

How can a father do that all
What happened to the world

[Vesuvius87]

That's because not everyone deserves to have kids. Some people are not suitable to ever be parents.

Yeah, it’s assault.

[Asker]

especially cause i’m 13 and make my own money right

[Opinion Owner]

Making money doesn’t have anything to do with it really. It’s simply assault.

[Asker]
