Question by : How do i get away from my dad?
well i have a twin brother as well we are both 20 now still living at home and have been searching like crazy for work, or what we want to make a career in so we can start school (college). my brother and i are up in the morning’s and out looking for a job. when we are asked to do something around the house such as yard work, cleaning, or just general labor we are sure that the job is done. our dad is an alcoholic and can consume as much as a 24 case to himself in just a couple of hours. when he drinks he is a completely different person then the dad i know. (Example) tonight was one of the worse nights we have had in the past couple of weeks, we had both been up early in the morning helping some friends move and we didn’t get done until around 4:30 in the afternoon, from there we went home and layed a small dump truck load of mulch and replanted some tree’s and flowers in the gardens we finished around 7:00 we were tired so we went upstairs and fell to sleep we don’t go to bed early often but we did today. we try to stay busy and out of the way so that are not just laying around all day doing nothing. we woke up at 10:30pm and were all out of cigarettes so we decided maybe we should run up to the store and get some. we walked downstairs outside and my dad was down the hill sitting in the hot tub. we decided to walk down the hill to say hello to him before we left to get our smokes (BIG MISTAKE!) as we approached him more we noticed all the beer cans sitting around him we knew he wasn’t drunk because the man never gets drunk he just gets angry, really angry. we both proceeded in saying our hello and that we were going to make a quick run to the store. he didn’t answer but he kind of growled at us i tugged my brothers shoulder and said “come on lets just get the hell out of here” as we turned our backs to him he jumped out of the hot tub and grabbed us both he turned us around and started to spit in our faces he was yelling at the top of his lungs that we were nothing to him except useless pieces of shit! he was screaming in our face to get a job! get a job! (well we live in Michigan and there isn’t jobs flying off the hook here) i tried to talk with him and ask him why he is doing what he was doing he said he was doing it because he can it was his house and he can scream at 10:30 at night and wake the neighbors if he wants too. he then asked me if i liked him screaming in my face i muffled “no sir i don’t” then he threw back his fist and tried to hit me but i was able to move “thank god” my brother and i are helpless when it comes to his anger he could kill us with one punch. when we tied to get away from him he yelled “if you leave now don’t ever come back” so we can’t leave because we won’t have a place to live. we hardly have an money or we’d move, we are in desperate search for a job so that we can get out of here his anger sperts are getting worse and worse he blames us for the reasons he fights and argues with my mom. when we are hardly ever home to have anything remotely close to being a cause to his reasons to fight with my mother, he has hit us before but the verbal abuse is becoming to much to take please what should we do? how the hell can i get away from this man? keep in mind I’m 20 years old i can’t scream child abuse i’m a little old for that. i can’t go stay at a relatives house because they all live in Canada and i have no way of getting to them. i know this is long to have read but this is all i can do to get it out there that the man that sleeps through the walls from us is a monster. please how do we get away from this crazy man? i have thought about calling the police before but I’m afraid it will only make things worse.

So this is what you do; his next drunk,istigate him enough to hit you, then call the cops & have him arrested for assault. You’ll be saving your wole family.
