Are my parents abusing me? If so what should I do?
Ok... my parents beat me with a belt... although my dad calls it 'royaly whipped' or 'getting your butt skinned' *shudders* when I was younger, to beat me, they would have me take off my bottom clothing... sometime they would have me take off my underwear also... as I got older I kept my pants or shorts on... although one time my mom told me to do it again when dad said 'i was getting to old for it' and she was there when he said it. And after every beating I wake up the next day with a lot of bruises and they don't go away until a few weeks. My dad even threatens to slap me... my mom sometimes would tell me that she sometimes wish that she could just grab me and rip me apart... I don't know why... I mean yeah I have done something in the past... but everyone has its not like I'm the only one... when my dad or mom(mostly dad) yells at me its very hard not to cry... now that I'm afraid of them I flinch or I shut my eyes really tight then they look at me like I'm crazy. I once told my dad that I was afraid of him and surprisingly he was shocked to hear that! I don't know what to think anymore... They say they love me... and they act like it too... but its like when I screw up on something they are different people... and there has been afew times where I didn't do something and they'd think that I was lying... so I was beat pretty bad(I nearly passed out and I was 7 or 8)
Could they really love me but beat me out of anger?
Or could they be angry with me and abuse me?
Everyone has said to call the police... but I'm afraid if I will regret it... im afraid that it won't go well... I don't know what will happen... please help me!
