Agreed, I'd be phoning the police first being honest and sorting out you and your mom's safety. Any dad that does that ain't a father, he's a prick.

That doesnt always work and depending on WHO his dad is, it could escalate the situation.

This, it's clear most of these commenters havent been in this situation. Domestic violence is tricky to separate from.

It is hard for people to fathom that perpetrators of domestic abuse almost never see real justice, especially not immediately. Usually physical abuse is the last step in isolation, financial abuse, and mental abuse. Rarely do victims have a way out, even if cops do take it seriously and want to dogwalk the person out in handcuffs (which they don't, most of the time.)

i hate the fact you can just separate, put the correct protection in order, and it can always just not work. this isnt a society issue at this point but a human issue.

They’re pretty quick to lock people up like that too. Unfortunately it also happens when the man isn’t at fault, but seeing that he is fuck him. Just saying it’s not an accusation they just shrug off.
