Troublesome Stepfather

urabell

About 6 months ago my mother married a new man, he moved in with us, Barry seemed like a good guy, he'd call me kiddo and give me pats on the head, which is a bit patronising because I'm twenty odd but bearable because I love my Mother and she loves him.

Recently things have taken a dark turn, he's started to discipline me, he shouts and tells me what to do, I've been putting up with it mostly, last weekend though he tried to strike me with his belt, I ran away but now he wants me to take the lashes or leave the house, on the one hand I love my mother and don't have the money to leave, on the other hand this is f*cking mental.

What should I do?

Leave

Me?

If you're a bloke. Knock him out. If your a girl, get out now.

You tell him very clearly that if he attempts to hit you again, you're going to report him to the guards. You're in your twenties, time to show initiative. What does your mother make of this though? You didn't mention how she has been reacting.

he moved into your home,
you are over 18. an adult
you know you can always call your aunts and uncles and leave them know,
are you going to college,
are you working,
are they supporting you in college,
at twenty people are either in college or working

This should probably go in Personal Issues, better advice to be given there.

he/she does not say if they are working, have other relations, now they need their family at large, aunts uncles, cousins, grandparents,
i know if my niece or nephew came to me with this kind of news i would help if i could,

I don't have any other family, I was hoping one of you could help me craft an elaborate revenge plot, I'd kick his ass but my mother is happy and I'm not ruining that, I do have a job and go to college but both of them facts are immaterial

Take the lashes like a man..............and then report him for assault!

I doubt this story is true now

Dearest OP.

We don't encourage trolling in After Hours, however if you insist on doing so, please have the decency to respect the intelligence of other posters.

A good start would be to not post a thread like the one we're in now, just a week after a thread in which you feared you would die at sea at the hands of your girlfriend's father.

This isn't the soap opera forum after all
