My dad is a mental and physical abuser to my mom and I. How do I convince my mom to leave my dad?

Alex: My dad is a mental and physical abuser to my mom and I. How do I convince my mom to leave my dad?
I’m a 16 year old male. We are isolated from all our family, because we moved to the Midwest from the west coast. I can’t ask any of my family members to do anything about it. My dad always tells my mom to leave, but my mom won’t. She doesn’t have much money to afford a lifestyle for herself and I. Can I have some tips also on how to survive with just my mom and I?

1st, call social services

2nd read this and share it with your Mom.

Children are often described as the ‘forgotten victims’ of Domestic Abuse. Children are affected not only by directly witnessing abuse, but also by living in an environment where their mother – usually the main caregiver – is being repeatedly victimized. Children in a home where the mother is being abused are also at greater risk of being abused themselves, or being used to control their mother. Due to his own lack of self-worth the abusive partner feels the need to control all those to whom he considers himself superior. In a family, this includes the children.

Your Mom has a legal and moral obligation to protect you. She needs to take steps to fix this situation.

She can go to a woman’s shelter; they will also take you since you are a minor. Talk to someone at school so they can help you out. Talk to you doctor even they can help you. You can get a part time job. But eventually she’ll have to work.
I think it’s best if you move back with your west coast family. Quickly find jobs.

More than your dad, you’re mom probably after all the years of abuse has lost touch with herself and who she is. She probably doesn’t think she has it in her to face the world on her own. But when you do, it’s exhilarating.

I guess you need to slowly build her confidence that she can make the right decisions. keep reinforcing that she is.

I would get out of there asap. You’ll have to force your mom because I think she be the hardest to convince. Tell all you relatives. You never know in what way they can help.
