About a year ago my parents divorced. My dad gained full custody of me and since then my whole life has changed. When my parents were married, there was no violence in the house. Since the divorce my dad has been really depressed. And of course I can see why I am too. He's been going out almost every other night and been getting drunk. He comes home and abuses me. Sometimes he'll push me down the stairs.. or hit me, or leave a bruise... I just can't take it anymore. It's been going on for a year now... and I don't know what to do. I'm afraid to tell anyone I know... or call a help line.. in fear of my dad. As I type this, my dad's at the bar with his friends. I don't want him to come home. I never know just what he'll do next.
