My parents have been divorced since I was born and it hasn't bothered me until now. My dad has been harassing my mom and the police won't do anything about it... One time he came to my moms house when I was at a friends house and banged on the door yelling at my mom to let me out of the house and let him take me to his house, which is two hours away, and he said things like my mom was holding me hostage and he would call the police on my mom. He never did, but it really scared her and me.

And one time he refused to bring me back to my moms and he said that if she didn't pick me up before 3 am Monday morning he would enroll me in Granton school. Fyi granton is such a small and depressing town and everyone hates me because I love animals :/ And to be honest I told him I was going for a walk and actually went down to the park and hid under the bridge that night and cried... I've never really told anybody about this before, but that's only because It never really did anything to me...

Can someone at least tell me what to do before I go all emotional on myself... and I'm not being sarcastic when I say that... I was so depressed one night I wanted to die...

In truth its not up to you. Its up to your mom to become more aggressive in this type of situation. If he shows up she should call 911 and let them listen. Then she can get a restraining order. Then move to modify the custody arrangement.

Im sorry and wish I had better news but this situation is between them.

On the other hand, if he showed up on a day when you were suppose to go with him, and she had sent you to a friend, or would not let you go, your mom would be wrong I have been that dad before, who has drove for hours to pick my child up, and their mom would not open the door and would not let me see the child. ** and it was my visiting time. So there are often two sides to the story.

Also by the court order is she suppose to pick you up?


At 12 you may only be hearing one side, a angry side, but the legal facts unknown here makes a big difference
