Who can I talk to about my emotionally abusive dad?

My parents are divorced, I live with my mum and I will be 19 in a couple of months. I need to talk to someone about my emotionally abusive dad because I've had enough and I really need help to do something about it, but most of the organisations I've found online seem to focus on abusive relationships and partners, which obviously doesn't apply to my situation. Who can I talk to?

If your based in the UK talk to the Samaritans on their free phone line. They will listen and offer advice and direct you to where you may find help and support.

Hello there, sorry to hear this, hope you're ok. I can't help with specific info but bumping so hopefully someone more clued up will pop along. 💐

NAPAC are worth contacting as they offer support to adult survivors of childhood abuse including emotional abuse www.napac.org.uk.

I would recommend counselling. I am double your age and only started on the path a few months ago. So firstly well done on recognising that you need to do something. I didn't and it has blighted my life up until now.
I am half way through counselling and it has definitely helped. I just googled counselling in the area and spoke to a few before I decided to pick the one I want. You need someone you can click with. I decided to go privately but you can go down the nhs route and it can take some time. A friend waited nearly a yeah but it cost her half of what I pay.
Hope you get what you need. Much love xx

ALso have a look on the stately homes thread on here. There are lots of us who have issues with our parents and that’s the main place for us all to gather.

Try counselling. Visit a GP and go from their. I had the same and found it helps once you speak to someone impartial. Flowers

can recommend free counselling. If you are at college or Uni, there should be one where you can self refer.
