I am 27 year old girl and am living in constant fear and trauma since the last 27 years due to a short tempered and violent Father. Every night since my birth has been spent in fear. Happiness is an unknown territory. I can’t leave my home because of the thought of my mother who has been his victim and has struggled a lot for me. What shall I do?
Question:
Deepak's Response:
You should leave anyway. You are 27 and it’s time to begin your life. Your presence has not help protect your mother from your father, and she has not been able to protect you either. Also consider that it might be a huge relief for your mother to know that you will be safe from him and no longer subject to his violence. Once you are out of that atmosphere of abuse, you can become an example for your mother that one still has choices even in difficult circumstances.
Love,
Deepak
