I don’t know the nature of the abuse from what you have posted, or how old you are. Do your parents know what is going on? Is there someone you can talk to who you can trust and might be able to help you formulate a plan to get out of this situation? I was once in a situation where I was forced away from home though I didn’t really have anywhere safe to go and was basically suddenly and unexpectedly homeless because an abusive sibling made it unsafe for me there. It’s a scary feeling. I don’t understand the above statement “it is your choice”. It sounds like gaslighting to tell someone who is being abused, and might have few options, that it is their choice to continue in the situation. Almost like something an abuser or someone who defends an abuser would say. I said a prayer for you. Please find someone trustworthy to speak with honestly about what is going on. If your parents don’t listen or care then perhaps another relative, a teacher, a pastor… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We picked up the phone and called the police. They showed up at the door and the conversation was not only begun, but the RECORD of what was taking place was begun. ACCOUNTABILITY where just moments before there was none. Everyone was put on notice. Everyone became accountable. Sometimes everyone got mad. Sometimes everyone threatened. Back then the scariest moment was the first call because of all the things we imagined would happen once they said 'is this an emergency' and we replied, yes, it is to me. I need help. I can't say how it works today, I don't know. But I do know that calling them, the police, has never once turned out bad for me. Didn't work out that well for others sometimes but once someone knows you are willing to go on record, they find a respect for you they didn't previously possess. I don't know if this is for you, I pray it may be. Gods words give us wisdom and knowledge to discern between good and evil. USE THEM. May you find the strength through the Lord Jesus Christ.

I need to get out of the environment it is not safe and the people I live around are not safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to find a good church, or a woman's shelter, or something that can help you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessings HopeinHim It is very hard to give you the right advice not knowing your age & not knowing the type of abuse or what you mean by "unsafe".From your response I think its safe to assume you do not live with your parents so if you call the police and when they arrive its possible they may believe you are safe and that could sometimes result in a very very bad & unsafe position for you.....so its difficult to say except for one thing,as was mentioned,a shelter or church but definitely you need advocacy.....call the U.S. Dept of Health & Human Resources to ask them how to get a Social worker assigned to you and ask them for referrals of any other kind of advocacy organizatons &/or programs.....you can call the police to ask for the closest shelter & help to get in if you are in immediate danger Social Services from Dept of Health & Human Resources do not take life threatening environments lightly and its better to call them if you are going to involve the local police (they can advise you properly because you can provide them with all the info & details) Just do not "wish" sweetheart,if you are in an unsafe place with unsafe people you need to GET HELP and get out,there are people that will take you out of the situation...CALL With love-in Christ<Kwik 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
