My dad has been emotionally abusive and physically violent since I was little. He hasn’t yet laid hands on me, but he has smashed / kicked / punched objects, walls etc plenty of times, and his rage episodes are terrifying. His behaviour has worsened recently. I don’t know if he’d ever hurt me, but I’m afraid he will.
I moved back in with my parents temporarily, but I actually can’t take it anymore. I’m waiting to start a new job so I don’t have income right now – should I go to a refuge? Can I go to one? I don’t feel I ‘deserve’ to be at one as much as others do.
I don’t know what to do or where to go, I just don’t feel I can be around him anymore. It’s making me unwell and insane.

Hi Fika,
Thank you for your post. I’m sorry to hear about your situation. What you described sounds really frightening- if you are feeling at risk and unsafe you have every right to go into a refuge.
Do reach out for further support where you can
Best Wishes
Lisa

What you are experiencing sounds horrendous. No one should be having to deal with what you are experiencing. Your safety is very important. It sounds like a very scary place to be in . A refuge sounds like a very good idea. I am so sorry to hear this is occurring. If you are worried for your safety it’s probably best to get out and seek a place of safety. If you have family or friends. Seek refuge if it’s possible to do so . Please keep safe .
