Sweetie.. you should do what everyone is asking you to do. No one has the right to put their hands on you.. for ANY reason. This obviously bothers you, you wouldn't be telling us if it didn't. There are laws here in the United States protecting you from that kind of abuse regardless on your families cultural beliefs. It bothers me that not only does he hit you but has an anger problem on top of it. That means he cant contol his anger.. and that's troublesome. Please talk to someone you can trust. And keep us updated.

Please tell someone about your stepfather. You do not need to be beaten by a man who is supposed to protect you.

Your mother needs to understand she is no longer in Haiti anymore and stand up for you and your siblings.

American Law does not take too kindly to someone who abuses their children. Tell someone and they will help you be safe. A teacher, a minister or the next time he beats you call 911 and tell them what's going on.

Be safe young lady.

Here is something you should remember that I hope helps you.
If your stepfather is hitting you or anyone else , you can call 911 and just leave phone alone. Don't hang up just drop it. The people who can help you might be able to hear what is happening, but even if they can't , they will know where you are and that you need help and they will come right over and stop any bad things that are happening.

Remember you don't have say anything if it is the kind of phone that are in houses. If it is a cell phone you should talk if you can. Give the address FIRST. Then answer the questions if you can.

You are doing a great job here. I know grown ups that can't do what you are doing. I'm proud of you.

Write back as often as you can. OK?

[martinizing2]

I want you to know I am not talking down to you. I use the childish wording an such so that younger people can read it.

By the composition of your writing I know you are quite intelligent and mature.
It is grammatically correct, spell checked, and composed at a level beyond many adults. I am impressed.

I just want to make sure you realize that I know I am dealing with an intelligent young lady and not a child.

I should have posted this sooner and apologize for not doing so.

The concern for you is genuine and I actually worry some when we don't hear from you as quick as I would like to.

Be safe and calmed in the knowledge that this can and I pray to God , will be over soon. Keep being strong.

Sincerely,
Paul (my real name)

Just what Kitkat says... please stay in contact with us, whenever you can and let us know how your doing. Please take care hon!

I personally don't think the hitting is so important as the misrepresentation. Hitting is at present politically incorrect, but not so harmful as the mental stuff.

Yes, you do need to get another adult involved, but I can't suggest who it might be. Whom do you know that you could confide in? Do you know any friendly social worker?

This isn't going to help, but I have to say how glad I am that this kind of thing didn't happen in my childhood.

[Kitkat22]

Deronette you have friends here.. You call the Police if it happens again.

No stepfather should beat a child. No father should beat a child.
