I want to help kids. I know there are other children with the same problem as me: they feel unsafe and no one wants/will help them. For CPS to take a child away (or give more custody to other parent if divorced), there must be proof of physical or sexual abuse. But many adults favorite emotional abuse, like my father. The great thing about emotional abuse (for the abuser) is that it can't be proven and it's worse than physical and sexual put together. I want to change that. I want it to be if you can provide even some evidence that you are being emotional abused, and you don't feel safe, you should get out of there as soon as possible.
Please email me if you don't feel safe. I WILL help you as much as I can.
My father is an addict. He is an alcoholic, takes steroids, and abuses prescription drugs (his favorite is vicodin). I have gone doctor shopping with him. After he took my siblings and I doctor shopping for drugs during our weekends with him, I started telling everyone I could. My mom, teachers, counselors, police officers, doctors, I even called Child Protection Services on him. This made years of his verbal abuse and raging at my family look like a walk in the park compared to how he punished me for reporting his drug use. He has physically intimidated me, stared me down, and threatened me that if I reported anymore of his drug use that "there will be consequences" and he has financially cut me off in every shape and form. All of this is in private, while publicly and in writing he says how much he loves and misses me. Drugs have turned my father into an emotional terrorist. My fathers addiction has taken his already abusive anger to a new level of being unsafe. I don't feel safe. Me and my family are not safe. Even though I have done everything I was taught to do in school and by my therapists..... report the drug and alcohol abuse I have witnessed (as well as the threats that he has made against me and my family and the hours and hours and hours of being screamed at, chased, threatened). I've turned to CPS, teachers, deputies, police officers, court appointed officials, counselors and many other mandated reporters, all of which have looked the other way and said that they can't help me. Nobody has ever helped me. At the age of thirteen I finally had to take steps to refuse to see him to protect myself. He sent the police to try to force me into more abusive and unsafe situations. I have had to stand up to the police and tell them why I refused to see him. I told them how unsafe it was for me after I reported his drug use. They still could not help me, they could only say they wouldn't force me to go. The only thing worse than having to deal with my father's destructive illness (I think he has mental illness), is the lack of help from professionals I've turned to. I have called the police, I have called CPS ( child protection services ) on my father. They say they cannot help me until he actually hits me. Yelling, screaming and chasing me and my mom around the house is not illegal. It should be...and its not against the law for him to intimidate me. -D
