Why won't my dad believe me when I tell him my step mom hit me?

are you close to your dad? everyone knows that the truth hurts and maybe hes scared of it. she shouldn’t do it and i say keep telling him or get ur mate as a witness and stand your ground x

Call Child Protective Services(CPS), or if you are in school still which i’m assuming you are. You can always go to your counselor at the school and talk with them about the situation. But if you dont want to do that. I highly recommend calling CPS because you can make an anonomous statement….every call that a Child Protective Services office gets they are REQUIRED to follow up on the call. Whether it be stopping by your home, coming to visit you at school etc.. but honestly its necessary.

I agree with kitty kat…. I’d call the police too

Maybe try being in the same room at once or get your dad to watch her try something different.

You posted you were bleeding so I’m assuming she left marks or bruising, if she hit you that hard. As Kitty Kat posted, your dad could easily be in denial. So you may have to make others aware. Can you talk to your real mom, grandparents, aunts/uncles or some other family member who could intervene on your behalf with your dad? He may be more inclined to listen to another family member if they are aware of what is going on. If your Stepmom has that much anger towards you they may already be sensing it. Otherwise, you could call the police immediately when it happens again so they can see your condition or go to your school counselor.

How about you watch your mouth. Im 30 years old and I dont cuss around my parents, granted I only see them 3 or 4 times a year. Still think about her situation. She has a 15 year old stepkid moping around the house complaining about life because its cool to do that when you are an “emo”. She was looking for an excuse to smack you. Be respectful, try do stuff with your family, cook up some tacos for everyone some night, stop dressing like something from dark city, stop wearing more makeup than your stepmom, wear blue jeans and sweatshirt

and keep your shoes off the couch!

A curse word is no reason to abuse another human being. Yeah, he messed up a little, but that doesn’t give her a right to hit him :/ Being “emo” has nothing to do with it.

you need to sit down with your dad and tell him the truth, or show him where she hit you, if he still dont believe you call child line or something :) xx

I’m NOT emo, I’m goth. I DONT mope around my house, I’m barely there. I can’t cook because I burn everything I touch. And, Lastly, I wear what I wear because it makes me feel like I still have one thing in my life that my step parents can’t control. And, by the way, it’s NOT cool to be gothic. People either A) run away screaming or B) try to fight you to show how tough they are. And finally, My step mom cuses like a sailor. I don’t think she really cares if someone cuses around her.

i think the basic problem is lack of trust. you should first build trust
