• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

There is nothing you have done to deserve this. Is there any adult you can trust? A teacher, a relative, a pastor or priest, a friend's parents? If there is someone you truly trust with your safety, tell them. If not:
Childhelp USA[size=-1]®[/size]
National Child Abuse Hotline
1-800-4-A-CHILD[size=-1]®[/size]
(1-800-422-4453)
This hotline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
If your home is not safe, you need help to get out. Stay with a friend or a relative. Then report your parents.
If your father lays his hand on you again, call 911.
My thoughts are with you.

it's not your fault, you HAVE to speak to someone to stop this, it's out of hand and not right, it's hurting you and you did nothing to deserve it! God will use this for good in you, but it will hurt, for a long time, I can't say if it will ever go, I can't say things like that because I honestly don't know. but your mom, she's probably scared herself, she probably doesn't know what to do! please tell someone, a teacher, a councellor, a youth leader, anyone! you have done nothing wrong, and it getting it dealt with you will not be doing anything wrong!
when your dad goes to hit you, stare him straight in the eyes if you can, that may shock him and stop him in his tracks! he would be able to see the pain in your eyes, and probably think you aren't afraid of him, even if you are!
please, do something! if ya ever wanna chat, PM, but don't leave it, leaving it won't do anything! the best thing you can do is something at a time like this, don't be folled by the devil into thinking that it is to do nothing! nothing will change if you don't do something to stop it, unfortunately it is up to you to tell someone to get it dealt with!
I'll be praying for you, and, as I said, PM me if ya wanna chat!
God bless

Hun, i know its hard but i agree with all thats been said before this. You really do need to get out of there hun, and you need to tell someone whats going on. You really dont deserve this and it is far from your fault.
Maybe talk to a youth leader or your pastor? I dont know what your church is like or how close you are to your leaders, but i am sure they would want to help you and protect you. Let them stand by you as you leave all that is going on at home.
I know your scared of being put in foster care, but it is MUCH better than continuing to go through what you are ok? And God will be with you always and loving you always, so you are never alone ok?
pm if you wanna chat. Just dont leave things at home the way they are ok? nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I know that i need to get out,i know i do,but he says that if i even try to tell he will kill me,i belive him to.I dont know any one i dont have any friends cause im home schooled.My pastor has asked me numbers of times if i was being hurt,i say no.I dont understand wh i do but as soon as someone ask i go blank and its like all i can say,no.I dont know why i just say it.I guess im scared.But see i have 2 brothers one older who is in the army and one younger(only a year)and i still get hurt the most,i have never seen my dad lay a hand on ether of emm.Thats what confuses me.Why would i get hurt and not him?I kinda think i know but is it cause im a girl and hes a boy,and you really cant do much to a boy like you can a girl,or another reason?Im trying to tell this next door ppl of mine hes a police officer but i dont know if he would belive me or not.
