This post isn’t about me, but rather my mom. My father has always had anger issues and has never really been a ‘good father’. He constantly yells at my mom, me, and my siblings. He’s called my sister and us c*nts, me useless, lazy, brats, bad kids, etc. Keep in mind me and my siblings are ‘good kids’ we don’t do drugs or alcohol, we don’t party, we go to school consistently, and we all have jobs. Recently my mom got a hysterectomy, leaving her unable to anything. This has left me and my siblings to do everything my mom usually does (which is a lot). She cooks dinner every night, cleans the house, drops and picks me and my siblings up, takes care of the pets, and works a full-time job on top of that. My dad has recently had 2 step up and make dinners some nights (as me and my siblings do it the other nights). Every night he yells at us, uses derogatory words, and often makes my mother cry. He’s genuinely a terrible person to be around. Without him it’s peaceful and things around the house are calm. A few years ago my mom and dad were on the verge of a divorce (i wish they had), and when we now say she should divorce him and find someone who cares she never says “but i love him” or “i don’t want to leave him” its always “i can’t afford it”. We live in BC Canada. Do you guys have any advice? Is there anything that could help my mom get out of this situation. She’s a really good mom and doesn’t deserve to be treated like this. Let me know your thoughts.
