I dunno why i am writing this down in here but sometimes you need to get your feelings out some how. well here goes... my dad hits my mum and has hit me before to. (hard part over with) he used to just do it when he was drunk but recentley every night he will find something to start a arguement with. me, my mum, and my little bro tip-toe around him trying not to set him off but it doesn't ever work. last night my mum put on this new cd my dad gave her for her birthday and he came in from work and shouted -"WHAT ARE YOU DOING THATS MY CD!!" my mum switched it off and said - "sorry honey my mistake," (she knows that it's her cd but trys to stop an argument forming) it is to late. he slaps her across the face and pushes her to the wall my mum gets free and hides behind me hoping that my dad will stop but no he pushes me to the side and i smack off the door and now i have a huge scratch down my cheek. he continues to punch my mum in her ribs mostly but before hes done he smacks her face as hard as he can. what should i do my mum always says he doesn't really mean it and he loves and i used to belive her but lately i can't anymore...
