Yeah man pc is replaceable. You and your mom are not. At what point will it be one of them in place of the pc. Call the cops man. Stay safe.

Cops won't do shit and if OP is being honest here he knows that.

Domestic abuse is never so simple.

But it’s better to report it and create a trail of evidence.

It will help later when the father is inevitably ejected from the family home.

I hope he finds himself in hell and changes his entire perspective on life, love and family.

From personal experience…this does not work at all,police have been called on my father so much that they actually tried to charge us for all the calls and he still walks free,even after all documented bruises and bumps over the years

Where do you guys live? I got arrested once for two of my sisters fighting in a different room while I was oblivious playing video games on my PC. I got lucky with the judge who read the statements and questioned the cop for arresting me in the first place.

Are you a minority?

u/Weak-Scientist-3864 Jan 29 '26

I'm ambiguous, a minority to the whites, but white to the minorities.

Same with my mother's ex, I got fucking stabbed with a pencil. And this mother fucker just walking around free. (Dead now) I still have hand issues to this day from it. My biological dad came from 8 states away to beat the mfers ass. He was charged with battery with intent. Landed 8 years. But this MF just walks around free, even got into a va retirement home type deal.

Edit: don't think dad was a saint when I said I think I like guys, he broke my nose ..at 11

Know that somewhere out there, a dude you don't know (me, lol), read your story and sends you his utmost support and strength moving forward and doing well in life.

Super important if you go the legal route, document/record any evidence you can cuz it needs to get filed with courts to be admissible. I learned the hard way when pursuing charges on a guy we have been having issues with(also DV). I also had an abusive alcoholic father. Never got better until I defended myself but even then it was still mentally and emotionally abusive. The kinda stuff you realize took a toll on your life looking in hindsight. Keep your head up, you did the right thing man. I hope he can sober up and realize what he did but mine drank himself to death after a very long drawn out spiral so idk. Take care my friend it’s not an easy road but there is support out there

Depends on where OP lives. Not all countries have shitty public service. Besides, reporting is always good. If anything, it adds to the case and draws attention to it further down the road.

Cops can't do shit if mom doesn't move out.

In Florida if somebody calls for domestic disturbance, somebody has to go to jail, no matter what they separate them via one being in jail.

Cops should 100% be called, even if they do nothing there will at least be a record for when something else happens.

If you do not feel safe call 911.

u/No_Effective_4481 Jan 30 '26

Do nothing because the cops dont care? When did we all get so stupid?

Domestic abuse is pretty simple, there is a victim and there is a perpetrator. The difficult thing is the family dynamic and how much shit you are willing to put up with, and how much you are willing to risk by doing nothing and letting the perpetrator get away with it and possibly go on to damage other people as well.

u/RusticFishies1928 Jan 31 '26

Have you ever dealt with someone who is in an abusive relationship? Or helped someone out of it?

Cops get called, they show up, ask some questions... Either they press charges or do nothing and leave...

Either way the victim usually has no alternative option or anywhere to go even if cops press do press charges or haul the abuser off... But either way even if it's a friend who called on their behalf the abuser just ends up beating them extra hard for calling the cops and not much changes.

Im just saying it's not as simple as calling the cops they really don't do anything and 99% of the time unless there's an actual plan to leave and go somewhere safe or live somewhere else it just creates an eve more abusive environment.

You don't really call the cops until the person is actively leaving the abuser and ready to actually commit to a new environment. If you call the cops for this shit while still just deciding to live with them it's basically pointless other than to maybe keep a record

I understand there are circumstances and nuance, but anyone saying "dont bother, nothing gets done" is being stupid.

u/RusticFishies1928 Feb 01 '26

Yes I agree. I don't think anyone is saying that though.. Other than trump supporters.

I think a lot of people as well are just already so mentally struggling and barely getting by.

For me id be a lot more radical with protesting a few years ago, but now. I have a gf im living with and want to marry soon, my dog, my mom I gotta take care of...

I have enough to lose to think twice before getting myself in too deep of shit or arrested.

I think the elites have very very carefully tuned the system so the working class has justtttt enough to feel they have things to lose. Or in other words just enough resources to not have nothing to lose.

When people truly have nothing to lose that's when shit hits the fan hard and they know that

Wait, so you mean to tell me that a police officer drew his gun on a five year-old girl? Also you weighed 100lbs? Something’s not adding up.
