I've just been thinking about things that's happened to me in the past. I never thought much of it, but now... I'm wondering if it was something.

I remember he hit me with his coat, and the metal zipper hurt me. When I told him(While crying), he just kept yelling at me, and saying how it didn't hurt and I was over reacting.

He was chasing my dog(He was pissed) and threw something at her. It bounced off the ground and hit me in the face. It bruised where it hit. I never got an apology, and when it happened he didn't stop. He just kept chasing my dog in anger.

A lot of that happened. Stuff that were accidents, or he throws things in anger and it bounces and hits me. But, he ALWAYS yells at me when it happens. Or laughs, and taunts me. I never got an apology. Ever.

One time, we were fighting about something, and I guess he told me to go to my room(I didn't hear him say that, at the time.) When I just sat there, he grabbed my arm and literally dragged me across the room, through the hallway, and into my room. Then walked away. It hurt. When I told him it hurt later, I never got an apology. Thing is. I ALWAYS apologized to him. When I didn't do anything!

This stuff doesn't happen often anymore. I do get screamed at, and insulted an a daily bases though. He's always threatening to take away everything I love. Basically, make my life more hell than it already is.

I get yelled at about my "attitude problem" and how I should have respect. Respect is earned. You don't just automatically get it. You earn it.

He has done other things that are considered abuse before, but I want to know about these incidents.

It sounds like you are being verbally abused he shouldn't scream and insult you everyday

It is, in my mind, a form of abuse. It is clearly causing you some emotional unrest, maybe even damage, and anything that does that on a repetitive level such as what you are describing is indeed abusive.

Chasing and throwing things at your dog is animal abuse as well.

Is this still going on? Also, is it your Dad or a brother, because you weren't really clear there. Also, if this all takes place in your own home, do you know if any other members of your family feel the same way?

This is most definitely verbal abuse, and some physical abuse too.
