Contains abuse - How do I help my abused mother
My mom and dad have been together for 30+ years, and he's been beating her since she was about 16. My dad punches her, slaps her, kicks her, throws things at her, and spits on her. He's cheated on her 3 times, this last time resulting in his 23 year old girlfriend getting pregnant. I'm 22 and no longer live at home, I'm a dude too...
The first time he ever hit me was my 15th birthday. My mom made a cake and threw me a party I was supposed to invite friends to. I didn't invite people because I didn't want them to see what my parents were really like. I left the room and could hear him telling her that the decorations were terrible and the cake looked disgusting (it was beautiful, she did a great job) I ran in told him off, and got punched in the face and kicked in the stomach. They went upstairs had sex, and left me on the ground. I ran away until her friend saw me walking and called them.
The last few weeks she's started getting away and coming here. I let her sleep in my bed and take the couch. Last week she called me while I was with my girlfriend and begged me to come home. I did, he was there. He hit me on the side of the head and I blacked out for a minute. He went to jail, but sure enough she went and got him out.
I'm worried about her taking over my life. I'm worried about her getting killed, I'm worried about her ruining things with my girlfriend.... What should I do?
