    My mom qot married to my dad bout 16 years aqo. she was at work when he used to hit me and my brothers . when she finally decided to quit her job my dad started to hate her . she realized what an asshole my dad was he started to beat her to . every sinqle day. and i didn't want my mom to be hurt like that. he qot remarried behind her back and qave my mom absolutely nothinq at all. then one day the biqqest fiqht happened and my mom kicked him out of the house. it has been 3 years . she has an order of protection. but she is still not able to divorce him. he says the only way he will divorce her is if he qives us 3 to him. and if we qo to him our life would be over because he will have us married on the spot. (we are a Pakistani family but we were all born in america ) . i think you should tell your mom to qet a divorce . i think she deserves better. as for you its up to you if you forqive him or not. remember you only have one mother. and if she stands by you and loves you with all her heart like my mom does then you would want her to be happy.

    that's no longer basic. it is not basic to forgive in case you have been wronged - fairly by somebody you're meant to believe. the element approximately forgiveness, regardless of the incontrovertible fact that, is that by no longer forgiving them, you are the only that suffers. You carry the anger, harm, resentment alongside with you. in the event that they have been fairly beating you as a new child, do you think of they care which you at the instant are not forgiving them now? maximum no longer particularly - likely they are going alongside with their lives and not thinking two times approximately it - together as you nevertheless carry all the harm. Forgiveness releases you from the harm. Forgive them - nicely known the harm and the soreness, and then come to words with the reality that it fairly is interior the previous, you may no longer replace it - yet you may replace who you're - and be a greater suitable guy or woman simply by fact of it. you may refuse to permit their undesirable habit convey you down. Be stable and take care!

    When/if you're ever a parent, you can learn from this. You will probably be able to forgive him someday, because you can't let it hold back your whole life.

    About you and your mom, you might want to get some help.

    I personally would never forgive my dad for that..

    It really depends on what kind of person you are.

    I would give it time, maybe he will realize he has a problem, & get help.

    Only time can tell, but i wish you the best !

    its all about the alcohol.

    let their fights be between them, its good you defend your mom but chill out,

    be a kid.

    just be quiet and as long as he doesn't hit her now let her make the decisions

    yeah he loves you but he is an addict, to booze.
