Advice thread
 

well last night at exactly 4:47 in the morning i woke up too some noise...it was my moms bf telling her he would kill her...so i did what everyone else would do...i grabbed a bat and chased him with it...what should i have done?:bringit:

Too little information to go on, I will require answers to the following questions:

1 - On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being well adjusted suburban white kid, and 10 being hillbilly redneck, where would you rate yourself?

2 - How long is the relationship, and has it been abusive before?

3 - How old are you?

4 - How old are they?

5 - What was the motivation for the statement?

6 - Was anyone involved drunk, and on what?



Those questions should give me enough to work with.

Threats of violence are making everything worse off in this situation. You shouldn't get involved but you should try and convince one or both parties to try and sort out the underlying problems, such as stress with work, each other, or even stress with you.

Stay out of their way and try and help as much as possible in ways not related to the argument, IE cleaning, doing your **** when you're supposed to, and schoolwork should be a priority.

i know but if my mom is in danger either physical/mental im going to do eerything to protect her

Well duh, but aggravating the situation by chasing her BF down the street with a bat just makes things worse because he feels ganged up on and excluded. You're 16 and he's 52. He's bigger and stronger than you if the aes are anythng to go on, and frankly without a bat you're jack **** compared to him.

All you've done is stop one situation and potentially put yourself in the line of fire for the next. YOu haven't actually SOLVED anything.

would me mentioning im traing for junior ufc count for me saying...he isnt shet compared to me lolz

No, it wouldn't count. All it means is you think you're much tougher than you are in this situation.

lol we'll thats besides the point...i think she should leave him... and he should put her down for something she can't really control.

Yeah I'm calling bs.
