My father, who suffered from mental illness, has left a shadow on me. How can I forget all this? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

As the title says, he still beats my mother after the divorce for money. Just yesterday, I was so scared, and all I could think about were his obscene words and yelling, kicking, punching, and shoving my mother. He won't hit me, but he threatened my mother with a knife.

I'm so scared, I can't get these images out of my head. Can you help me forget them? I'm really scared.

I am really sorry to hear what you're going through. It's completely understandable to feel scared and overwhelmed by those memories. Maybe talking to a professional counselor could help you process these feelings.

It's terrifying to witness such violence, especially towards your mother. Have you considered reaching out to support groups or organizations that can offer assistance in situations like this?

Your safety and emotional wellbeing are important. Have you thought about speaking with law enforcement or seeking a protective order for your mother? This might prevent further harm.

What you've described is truly distressing. Sometimes focusing on calming activities like deep breathing, meditation, or engaging in hobbies can provide some relief from the fear and anxiety.

Belinda Jackson When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.

It's heartbreaking that you have to go through this. Surrounding yourself with supportive friends or family members who can listen and provide comfort might help ease the burden you're carrying.
