Do I have to see a doctor?

[Anonymous]

Today I got in a heated argument with my father and he heated me up for the first time. I got several kicks but one on my stomach was the one that knocked air out of me. My father apologized and all but I'm worried because there is no trace yet it hurts, my heart still hurts and each time I try to breathe in some air, I feel like I there a knife inside. Do you think something may happen? When I received that kick I felt like my whole womb moved to the right and my heart felt like it was stabbed.

Is it something dangerous or will I recover from the hit on my own?

You need to see a doctor to be checked over and you also need to be speaking to the police because nobody has the right to assault you like that. The next time he might seriously injure you, if he hasn't already.

Kicks to the abdomen can cause damage to internal organs, they can even be fatal. Chances are that you were winded and you are now bruised, but there's no point in taking any chances.

He is my father, he apologized and sincerely regretted it. I forgave him because I know he won't do it again and I trust that yet thank you so much for your help, I think that I should take no chances.

Its probably none more than internal bruising. Although, the real issue here is your father assaulting you. I get that you say its the first time, but it wasn't exactly just a slap around the face... Seek help, please.

yeah but not the doctor you're thinking of... you need to see a psychiatrist

Why see a psychiatrist?

because you're never supposed to lay a finger on your parents

I didn't say I hit my father, at least read what I wrote. True that I was talking back to him but he is the one who hit me, besides he used to do Karate, I wouldn't be able to even defend myself. Why do you think I'd hit him?
