My Ndad has been making my life hell for years. Physical abuse, threaths to us and making an end to his own life… about a year ago I couldnt handle it anymore during a crashout my father had. He threw out out stuff and we took it and left to my grandparents. (There was a birthday party there.) I didn’t leave after, my little brother and mother went back. About half a year later another escalation happened, which caused my brother to start living with friends and my mom to start living with my grandparents, although she has constantly contemplated going back to my father. The same day this all went down, my brother wanted to get his stuff from my fathers’ but my dad barricaded the door with planks and screws to the inside of the door. When I saw this, i, after contemplating a bit decided to call emergency services. They talked for a bit with us and my father, when my father said things like that my mom has Alzheimer’s (she is perfectly healthy) and my brother is a drug addict (not the case either) and I was supposedly addicted to video games. My brother was let in but not without accusing him more and screaming at him. My dad has since changed the locks and is living alone with my brother(who has returned but still has a lot of conflict with him). He has been stalking my mother since she left and has approached her and my grandfather (who came with her because she didn’t feel safe) at her work when she left. I don’t feel safe and don’t feel like I have anywhere to go or confide in or any way to build up my own life without the risk of him making it all crumble down. I have never been able to grow as a person and don’t know where to start now. I was never able to develop my individuality and independence and am suddenly supposed to fully go and live by myself and support myself. What can I do? Is there anything a lawyer can do?
