I do not want to inform the police. I just want it to stop... I can't take it anymore. My mother doesn't know. Should I tell her? But that will break her heart so badly... My younger sister is only nine. She is so young... Telling my mother might result in a divorce, and I can't afford that. Please... please help me...

its realty shocked me,, i understand why you don't want to go police,, but any how you have to discuss your father to stop it,,,,may be hi do it while he was drunk and very aggressive.or it was his very big mistack, & he is really want to Apologetic to you,, but he cant for shame,,,,, either you will discus this matter with your mother also,,, don't forget that same thing could be repeat with your sister,,, then the situation will be very difficult for you & your family,,,,,
I really don't know what to do. My father doesn't... he doesn't do it drunk... I want to tell my mother, I really do, but I do not know how to voice it out. Please help me... But I can never ever go to the police! I don't want my family to break apart... And the number of times my father does it... it's getting more frequent lately and it really hurts. I don't know how to speak about it to him. In fact, I don't think I have to courage to do so...
I want to, but how should I go about it? I don't know how to broach the subject, I am unsure she will even believe me.
totally agree
Thank you so much for your advice...
tell you school councilor .... he can help mediate if you are worried how your mother will react if not tell a friend who will tell their parent - maybe they can help! This is just going to get worse NOT better. I understand that you do not want to tear your family apart but you need to be separated from this man!
I have been abused before by a close family friend. I was in a similar situation to you and; understand exactly what you are going through. I had the exact same feeling of not going to tell anyone.
I understand that you don't want to cause any trouble. However, if he's has done this to you, then maybe he's done this to others in the past. And it is likely that he will abuse more people...in the future. You really don't deserve any of this and he deserves to be punished. You didn't do anything wrong, so don't feel horrible about the fights, divorce etc.
He's your dad and should look out for you guys. Instead, he is taking advantage and...he has broken your trust. He is a bad person...divorce seems like a negative thing but isn't it better if he's out of your life. If you keep quiet, he might abuse your little sister also. Also, if he goes from your lives then you, your sister grow up in a positive environment.
It might be hard to talk to your mum, you should talk to your school dean or counselor. I talked to my dean and she helped me a lot. I know this is really hard but you must do the right thing.
Just tell your dean, she will do the right thing.

I wasn't comfortable talking to my parents. If you are comfortable talking to your mother, then go ahead.
