Twice my dad has pulled a gun on me. First time I was 8yrs old, and he believed I had taken one of his candies. The second time was over politics. He's a republican and I'm a communist. We were having a respectful debate and I made a dumb crack about gun safety. Ig he didn't approve of it. Next thing I know he's reaching for a gun. I attempt to grab his wrist to prevent him from pointing it at me and he slammed me against a wall. I felt the barrel just under my ribs. I fount and wrestled and eventually my brother came in started swinging on me. (Fun fact he's 6'3 270lbs of muscle and can't throw a punch I've learned) i finally got out and he told me I wasn't his son anymore. Next time I'll be ready. I got a gun of my own. Difference is I won't hesitate to pull the trigger. I'm going to kill him

I am 13 and I hate my parents. My mom is a religious woman. She always talks about me checking my heart or getting my life in check with God. I am not a Christian like her but I can't tell her because she would kill me (not literally). Recently, my mom got mad at me and tried to push down the stairs. My dad came running up and asked whay happened and my mom claimed I was throwing clothe hangers at her, which I never did such thing. My dad always takes her side and I hate it. Another time, I slipped on ice and ran into my dad car door, ACCIDENTALLY slamming his head in it. My dad picked me up by my shirt and slammed me on the car I still have bruises. My parents favrotize my older sister (we will call her Jamie) and my younger sister (we will call her Kelly). Kelly hits me and punches me all the time and even if my parents see it, they y'all at me for starting a fight. Jamie is also religious so they thunk she is perfect. I have an older sister (we will call her Kiara). Kiar is my beat friend. She isn't religious and she isn't a jerk like the rest of my family. My mom HATES kiara because I look up to her. My dad loves er nut because of my mom I don't get to see her very often. I have almost committed because I can't handle my family.
