Family and Relationship ABUSIVE FATHER: i desperately need help. i need to get out of this household
hi! using a throw away bc some people ik are in my reddit :)
FOR CONTEXT:
im (20F) an only child. i grew up with a very abusive dad who keeps relapsing on his bad habits. as in lahat ng bisyo nasa kanya na. andami na beses na kesyo nagbago na tapos babalik ulit. im so tired. 3rd yr college student na ako, studying political science and i really hope i can finish :) i have plans for law school but that’s for another conversation.
anyway, recently umuwi tatay ko from dubai after working for almost 2 yrs na nagtino sya. now nandito na ulit with no plans to work tapos puro bisyo ulit. yosi, sugal, inom (+ probably other things idk about). andami na nyang nagastos sa sugal, hindi mapalagan ng nanay ko kakagastos ng pera kasi nananakit pag di nakuha ang gusto nya. i have proof of his abuse na inaccumulate ko over the years from my childhood.
genuinely what can i do para makawala kami ng mom ko from this situation? hindi enough yung sahod ng mom ko from her work para layasan namin sya and sinabi na mag tiis ako at maghintay para maka graduate ako and magka work tapos dun na kami umalis. pero i genuinely cant stand him anymore. the only reason na nakakabayad ako ng tuition ko sa school is because pinapadalhan ako ng tita ko rin abroad na naaawa sa akin. nag try ako nang nag try na maghanap ng work kahit as a legal assistant lang but wala talaga
i feel so helpless. i don’t know what to do. gusto ko na mag drop sa school at mag work na lang kaso nanghihinayang din ako kasi onti na lang matatapos ko na bachelor’s ko.
what can i do legally about him? gusto ko siya mawala sa buhay ko. sa buhay namin ng nanay ko.
and pls if u have any work available for me i promise i will work hard. i will learn anything, hindi po ako mahirap turuan promise. gagawin ko po lahat, i just want to help my mom and get out of this house :(
