Answer 1

Sweetheart - you do need help & support.  I know you say you have talked to several adults already, but you are sending mixed messages about what you are actually saying

My advice would be to either tell someone who is really in a position to help (teacher/lecturer, doctor etc), a trusted relative who is an assertive & strong person who you have seen act for the good or if neither of these, then call the Childline number or the Samaritans.  These are professionals who have experience of similiar cases, and can listen to you van advice you what to do

Your father has placed you in a difficult situation and his actions are reprehensible.  

Please at least call one of the bodies.  It is in complete confidence & also anonymous if you wish

Take care and stay strong xx
