Ok I am posting this because I don't know what to do, my finger was ready on my phone to call 999. I have the echo of my mums screams in my head and I tell you its not nice, every time I hear I want to cry.

My dad isn't usually this bad, they have always had arguments over my sister (20) because she is screwing her life up. He is kicking my sister out which I can understand in a way because we have all tried everything but this time he turned on my mum and attacked her. I didn't actually see it, I am staying in my room with my door shut, but going by my mums screams he attacked her. I was going to press the call button on my phone but I thought whats my dad going to do to me if I do. They are still arguing now 3 hours later, the only people I have talked to about it is my girlfriend and a mate, I am waiting for my aunt to come on msn so I can talk about it with her.

I don't know what to do!

I think you might want to ask your mom and see whether she wants you to call 999 (lol I think this is a British version of 911 but I’m not sure) if it happens again, cause sometimes she might not want anybody to know about this and stuff. It could be just the first time and I think that if you had called 999 before, both of your parents might not have been happy, but idk. It depends on the family and what kind of people they are. If they’re the kind of people who hate the idea of divorce, you might not want to call the police, but if your family is the kind that’s more lenient on that, well, idk. Just ask your mother and how she feels about it, or if your aunt is your mother’s side, you should ask her, but it would be better to ask ur mom first.

Well I haven't talked to them all night now, in fact I am ready for bed and have closed my door lol. I'm not going to ask if she wants me to call 999 (yes its the English version of 911), defiantly not this time im not going any where near them, especially my dad. I was going to call 999 without anyone knowing, I was in my room when I heard my mum screaming and its the words she was screaming that make me think me dad attacked her. As for divorce, I don't want to go there.

My aunt knows now, I asked her not to contact my mum or dad yet though. She has offered me to stay round hers if I don't want to be here.

I recommend you discussing this whole issue with your mother first and see what she tells you. It may be awkward talking to one of your parent about this but it may be best. Ask her how she's feeling and your father has been doing to your mother. Your mother will hopefully be able to answer your questions because you wouldn't want to go into any false assumptions, correct? For example, if you were to call 999 and there was no physical contact, then what would you do? Make sure that you really know what's going on and then grant yourself the power to do what you want to do.

Ok, morning after, everything seams ok. My aunt seams to have phoned my dad even though I asked her not to. My dad has talked to me about it and my mum and my sister have basically told me not to get my aunt involved. My aunt said on the night though that if I feel I need to call 999 then I should, I can always say I am a neighbor concerned about the arguing.

Everything seams ok now, I have noticed that no ones is talking as much but that could just be because it was first thing in the morning. Its after school now and I am home alone until my mum gets back at 5.

That is not right that he attacked your mom like that. The most important thing to do is to make sure of your families safety even if that means to call the cops on your dad.

Talk to your mother and ask about whats happens...we all shout out one day or another..we are humans and we all made mistakes...but if your father touch (kick,punch or others) that its a different situation and i reccomend get serious advice.

its a sad situation...hope the best for you.

if the fighting continues i think its best you call 999. just to be safe
