My Father Hit on me and makes me seem like the worst person in court

Question

My dad was abusive up until 14 and im in and out of court for a drug case for about a year. Everytime we go they make it seem like im doing all these things with no original cause. They say my behavior towards them is bad and theres 10 to 15 people caslling the house for me which is really bad with a drug case. Here are two examples of abuse:

I was getting money from my girlfriend at age 13 and i took it becuz i saw nothing wrong with it. My dad finds some chlothes and sneakers and confronted me i lied once saying i got it from my friends and i saved it up we called them and it was unfolded then i said alright i got it from my girlfriend i showed them texts where i asked for money. Then my father picked up a chair and hit me across the face causing my right eye to fill up with blood which i would of went blind in if i didnt get it treated in time annd hit me on the back of the head with a hammer which i had to get staples for.

2)I came home opened the door and my mom's cat ran out then i chased after her and dropped my keys. From 4 to 11 i look for those keys my dads like i dont want nobody getting in my house! then as im looking for them he comes out of no where and smacks me with this thick board and breaks it over my head. the next door neighbor saw as she walked in her house. It was on my brothers birthday. So he sends my mom down stairs to say ur father says u can come up and have some cake now. I F***ing HATE MY MOM SHE NEVERSTOOD UP FOR ME I DONT NEED HER!!!!

IM 17 and in and out of court and my last court date is august 15 should i reveal to the courts my past and theres since they seem to be nit picking at my behavior...

Answer 1

When are you going to stand up and be a man?  Seems like you got every excuse in the world to fail and therefore, have accomplished that well.  If you wish to cater to those who mistreat you, cower in a corner and feel sorry for yourself, then don't even worry about it.  However, if you realise that it isn't all your fault, take credit and fight for yourself, then you might make it in this world.  The decision is yours.  Hating your mom who is probably a victim too, is not exactly conducive to your future.  Plus, it is funny, when I was studying history, I remember this one leader (hitler) who created divisiveness between different people in order to re-direct focus on what he was doing, thus allowed him free access to control.  Looks like your dad won in that aspect, so you, your mom and whoever are not together and fighting him individually, which he can probably easily win each fight.

Anyway, it is still your choice!

Answer 2

You haven't said what your behavior was, I'm sorry what's happened to you in the past, it does need said in court.  You're going to be an adult soon and I don't care what happened to you in your past if you take it out on my children and other innocent people so learn to control yourself and deal with what's happened.

Answer 3

Absolutely, but I would not wait for a court date because that looks like you are making stuff up.  I would just call the police right this minute and they will put you in touch with CPS who will investigate.  Good thing your neighbor saw because otherwise they might not believe you.  Fortunately also, there are hospital records.  

Your mom is almost certainly a victim too.  You and her could make a run for it.  She didn't stand up for you because she was too afraid.  Yes, she should have, but your dad worked her the same as he worked you.  

Get to work Sweetie, now go make your future good.

Answer 4

They will say anything they can to win their case, you must do the same.  Tell these stories to your defense council.

Answer 5

It probably won't help your case too much, but it will make you feel better. So if you think its the best thing to do, then do it. But don't do it out of revenge, do it for you.

And I understand - I've been in an abusive family relationship in the past - luckily I took action. Only then did it stop. Good luck.

Answer 6

i just hope your in a good home now because you can't live with your parents

Answer 7

Your Dad needs to be punished for hitting you and causing injuries to you.  If you went to the hospital they have a record of you coming in so you can prove it too...he's the one that needs to be in jail - NOT you.  Sounds like he needs anger management and a couple of years in jail...he could have killed you when he hit you over the head.  

Hope everything works out for you.

Answer 8

Well, you could...but then it would just seem that you are making excuses for your behavior.  I'm very sorry that you've had a rough time growing up.  Your father should never ever have treated you like that.  And your mom should not have kept you in that kind of situation.  But you are old enough to know right from wrong.  You are old enough to take responsibility for your actions.  You made some bad choices.  Now you take the punishment, learn from it and learn to move on.  I wish you all the best.  I hope you can get some counselling to help you move on.
