A Father who is Mentally ill

[wolly]

Hi,I'm not a bible person and I seek advice from my father who treats me like crap and beats me like a brute. My parents divorced in 2019 and I was glad I got rid of him.
I can't take it anymore he treated me like a slave and always forced me to do his bidding. From 2014 to 2018 I was beated in the bath,I was harassed by my school and highschool classmates,rejected by a classmate from highschool because he told me I don't belong there and was humiliated in a lot of ways.
He drinks a lot of alcohol and he is always drunk.
I haven't done anything to anyone and I don't understand why this happens to me. I am not pure of heart and I'm not holly but what have I done to God to deserve such awful parents?
I burned my own chest because of this situation.
I tried to go to the police but they didn't do anything to solve the problem with my father and they told me that this was a joke.
What kind of a human I am if I am harmed by my own parents?
My case is exactly like Saint Dymphna!

Sorry to hear this. I would cut all ties with your father until he goes into treatment. Blessings

The way that your parents treatment is not an accurate reflection of God's love for you. God loves you immensely in spite of your parents flaws!!! I am so sorry you are going through this. Is there any safe place that you can go? Have you looked into hotlines for domestic violence? There is surely someone out there who can help you if you will keep reaching out. Please don't give up.

This is another case of where people who believe God is in control of everything come away thinking He is doing things to them. And of course they are right! If God is in control of everything, then He would be orchestrating every event from the revolution of electrons around atoms to the collision of galaxies. That includes every stub of the toe, case of AIDS, and fall off a cliff. He is doing it all. Of course He is not doing all these things and you can feel better about the fact He is not. He is the savior, the healer, and the deliverer. He most certainly is not the murderer, the disease, or the oppressor.
Start with that. God is not doing these things to you. Begin to believe that He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. Get away from those who say He is the oppressor of those who diligently seek Him.

Often times, this side of the grave; we never find out why something happens. A lot of things have happened to me too, where there is no answer "why". As pertaining to "life on planet earth"; sometimes it just "is what it is".

I don't know if you've ever heard of Al-Anon? But you might find that 12 step group useful. You'll definitely find some support in your journey to psychological and emotional healing. A lot of people have survived the horror stories of dealing with alcoholics. I agree with @Maria Billingsley; you need some distance from your dad.

I'd also encourage you to get into counseling if you can. People who've endured that level of abuse need the assistance of someone who can help them find the truth through all the lies they've been told. Your dad's behavior is not your fault. You can recover from this. You aren't beyond hope. Pray for God's wisdom and the courage to do the next thing in front of you to help you recover.
