My father is constantly making me do his work and making me cook dinner for him, my sisters, his girlfriend and me. He is biased towards my sisters and would rather go fishing and hunting than be with his own 3 kids. Also if i refuse to do my work, he beats me with his belt.
What should I do about my dad?

Have you thought about sitting down with everyone and talking about how you feel and sharing responsibility?
If he is constantly beating you might be worth a phone call to the police/ child protection services as it could be child abuse so the sooner everyone gets help the better
Or maybe do what I did once to some who took advantage while we were room mates once. Offer to cook something they like and start "adding" extra flavours AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT ALERIGIC SUCH as salt instead of sugar or maybe add laxative (but be careful no to add to much or they will guess what you did) to something spicy such as chilli or curry?
I would first try and to sit down with him and explain how he is making you feel. Do not come on to strong, (for example do not refuse to do the work) I would simply complete the task then ask him to sit down and talk about it. Also, if he is paying for your food, clothing, and extra curriculars then maybe you should think about getting a samll job to help yourself become more independent so he sees you do not need his money to have the things you need.
