I’m 17 and I go to a community college. My step-mom is abusing my dad and I can’t take it anymore. They have been married since March and she is by the nastiest person I have ever met in my life. She is an alcholic.
She is abusive to my dad. She is constantly yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs. My dad doesn’t do ANYTHING wrong to her. I swear! My dad has never cheated on her or treated her badly.
Last night, at 1 in the morning, she started screaming and yelling “GET THE **** OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!” and who knows if she hit my dad or not. She then got into her car and spent the night at her 22 year old daughter’s house. She drove drunk.
That happens at least 3 times a week. She’s not some little tiny petite woman. She’s almost 5’10 and works out. She has tried to physically hurt him before too.
I can’t barely take my life anymore. I have dark bags under my eyes. I have depression. I seriously can’t do this anymore. I am going insane in the head. I don’t want to put up with this anymore.
I live in a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. The nearest family member is over 15 hours away. I don’t have any family members that I can live with. I don’t know anyone here.
I am so afraid of my step-mom that every time they argue or fight, I put my clothes dresser in front of my bedroom door to make sure that she doesn’t come into my room and do something to me. I don’t feel safe at all at home. I’m scared.
What should I do? Should I tell the cops on them?
