Hey _yuki15_,
Welcome to the forums and thank you for your openness and bravery in sharing such a powerful post. We’re so sorry to hear you've been feeling frightened at home, and don't feel safe there with your dad. You've made a really good step in sharing here.
It's not ok for your parent to hit you or make you feel scared whenever you're home, and it's never your fault. We can understand it must feel really scary. You've made such a brave decision sharing this post.
Is there anyone in your life you'd feel comfortable sharing this with? We're thinking a trusted teacher, school counsellor, health professional or friend? If you're not sure who to call, we'd really recommend talking to
Kids Helpline about this, on 1800 55 1800 or webchat. Another option is connecting with
1800RESPECT.
We're reaching out to you privately to see if you'd like to chat this through with our counsellors. If you'd like to reach us directly, we're always available on 1300 22 4636 or
online here.
Thanks so much for starting this discussion, yuki. You deserve to feel safe at home, and with the right support, things will get better.
Kind regards,
Sophie M
