All true and when it is combined with financial abuse, it can be BRUTAL ! You really have to plan ahead and manage the situation the best way you can (often disengaging/leaving room/area) until you can afford to leave.

(Threat, weapon, emotional abuse) ->



This was only two years ago when I was 12. Me and my father (abuser) had gotten back from getting groceries at the store. We were unpacking the groceries and when he told me to go put something in the garage I didn't understand (I'm level one functioning autistic so I tend to think slow, he refuses to acknowledge this to this day). That day he was very mad because of traffic and work. And would often put that anger on me regardless of how I was that day since he knew that I was too scared back then to say anything. And I'm an only child with divorced parents so me and him were alone. He got super mad. And his way of "teaching" me to shut up when I didn't understand something was really traumatizing. This day in particular he had grabbed a knife, cornered me (as he often does) and threatened with it. Screaming in my face with the knife raised above his head pointing at me. I don't remember what he said, cause the only thing I could focus on was the knife.

That experience scared the shit out of me. And to this day, it sticks with me.

[lightningtaylor]

Living every one of these almost everyday in some form or fashion now 2 states away from anything &everybody I know. He would prob just come short of dying before he would ever admit to any of it! Heaven forbid should anyone outside these walls I now call my hell prison find out what he really is like bc he puts that cute Lil show on around everybody oh except when we would go to Walmart for some reason? He has took any & all the things away that I got a Lil enjoyment & recreation & a chance to get outta the house unless I'm running to the store 30 mins before closing fir his dinner or doing something for him! Then I'm timed from leaving til I return @ 53 yrs old!!

[lizzardl]

I still don’t know if It’s abuse… they make me do things that I don’t wanna do, make me feel like I have to do things by being overly sarcastic (?) I don’t know how to describe it… is that abuse?

[stefanriepl]

I know every single one. Especially the last.

I have a quick question. Today is fatehr's day and I baked my father a cake. He didn't say thank you or said it tastes good even though my mum told him multiple times he should say thank you. Did I do anything wrong? I just wanted to do something nice for him.
