[A fourteen year old discusses her abusive father, gets loads of crap from Christians:"He's hit me, and done nothing, while I was crying, but say, sorry rachel, and do nothing else, he's called me fat because me and my older sister were joking around about my weight, he said "it was for my own protection", that time, he made me go from laughing to crying. he FAVORS my little sister, that's right a "christian" man who favors???!!?"]

Mrs. Citizen :):
From what I got from from this, is a father who is trying his best.
[...]
and you are a christian girl who seems to hate? No one is perfect, forgiveness is key, I am not saying you have to spend time with him, just respect him and forgive his actions. Hate's a burden, and it hurts both of you.

Once again, Im not trying to be rude, but you need to look at yourself. You are being awefully self-righteous. People make mistakes, People sin.

Chrissy: I don't mean to be condescending in any kind of way, but at your young age, it's hard to understand the reasons behind why your father says or does things that are in your best interest. He has personal struggles he goes through, that you might not be clued in on. I'd suggest trying to have a more open and relaxed relationship with your dad, it sounds like you're always on edge around him.

Jo-Mama: Sorry but I dont believe everything you are telling us. There is something really wrong with your story.

I have a problem with you ripping your father apart to pieces. The way you describe him - he's the devil himself, and that's where you lose credibility.

I think you need to be more honest here.
