Domestic violence/Mental child abuse?
I’m an Asian teen, and I’ve been wondering if my mother has been receiving domestic abuse. If she is, how do I fix this all up?and my brother and I aren’t doing much better either.
My dad has always been stingy with the money. All my mom’s friends [she doesn't have very many anymore...she told me my dad's coldness distanted her friendships] say so, along with my non-blood related aunt on dad’s side, and others that know my mom well. My mom’s a housewife and stays at home taking care of me and my brother. I know she hates her life, and the only reason she’s staying is for the sake of me& my brother[she told me], otherwise she would have returned to my grandma/grandpa’s house a long time ago. My dad doesn’t let us spend much money on extra stuff when he had a job [he got laid off a while ago], and he’s a total momma’s boy. I know, because ever since he got laid off, he calls his mom EVERYday and listens to the goddamned woman’s complaints and blathers. My grandparents on my dad’s side have had 2 caretakers, and BOTH of them quit; I’ve met both of the caretakers and they’re very nice according to me and all my relatives that have met them…but my gradnparents are jsut picky[mostly my grandma-you may say she's a lonely old lady, but I think she's a whiny b*tch]. Basically, my dad’s a control freak and a momma’s boy, I’ve witnessed many people saying that [behind my dad's back, of course] , which is not a very nice combination. My mom told me to never marry someone stingy and mean like my dad [no idea why they married in the 1st place-]
I’ve suggested divorce and for me & my brother to go to adoption agencies, but she says no. Help?
Oh, and my dad constantly insults me, and lately he’s been threatening me to get out if I don’t recognize him as a relative. Truth to be told, he can burn (BIG empasisis on burn) in hell for all I care since he’s jobless and there’s no need for him to be around. Say I’m cold, but just because he’s not happy doesn’t give him any right to threaten me-he’s never been nice and friendly like all my friends’ dads..he used to, when I was younger[like when i was 5], but not anymore. I am barely allowed to go to movies with my friends, and he discourages me from going to social stuff, like shopping w/ friends, and is "conservative" [AKA stingy, barely spends money on stuff] I want to report him to the authorities, but I’m worried about my future-and my mom. I want to stay @ the high school I’m at, graduate, and go to a good college-without him in my life.
Any advice? And if this got taken to court, what would happen to me/my brother/my future?
I truly do feel for you. Being in a situation like this has to be tough. Believe me I know. You have to put on a happy face for school and friends, and then when you get home, sometimes it is just hell. However, your situation is not really classified as domestic abuse. Your father is in no way physically abusing your mother. He is out of work..but his being stingy would not be considered abuse unless he is truly depriving you of your basic needs. I don’t mean to undermine your problem, but I am just offering the "court" viewpoint. On the other hand, this type of situation cannot be judged by an outside. We don’t know your father’s personality, or just how bad he may make your life. Maybe he isn’t nice or friendly because he is out of work. Truth be told, he IS your father. My father says the coldest things to me: "Your useless. I never want to see your face again. You cause all the problems in the house." –and believe me, there has been MUCH worse. But I would never wish for him to burn in hell. You said he was nicer when you were younger. If you offer him your support, maybe let him know exactly what is bothering you, maybe he’ll change. Explain just how bad he is affecting your lifestyle. Throw in some tears, cry! Get the sympathy from him that you deserve. If your mom is honestly in a situation that is psychologically harming her to the point of no return, a divorce is possible. Coming from an asian family myself, I know this is a type of faux pa. Your mother will ALWAYS do what is best for you. She may deny your idea for the divorce because she is so concerned about you and your brother. Whatever you do, DO NOT go to an adoption agency. You have loving parent(s). Move in with your mom if your dad and her end up getting separated. Just remember, there are people out there who are suffering a great deal in PHYSICALLY abusive situations. Don’t do anything you will regret for the rest of your life, and act selfishly on the behalf of your brother and your mom. Hang in there, I hope everything works out for you:]<3.

I don’t think this is domestic violence (or abuse) but your dad sounds like a miserable person. Stinginess is not against the law but it is a terrible way to have to go through life. Just remain close with your mom and it might be a good idea to see a therapist. Good luck.
