hes skating on thin ice..........

thats it! every time my dad walks by me he punches me really really hard! I always ask him to stop but his response is "you should be thanking me, im making you a stronger person" bullshit! he only hits me cuz hes bigger than me, every time, he hits me like hes in a god damn boxing match, but whenever friends or family come over he acts all sweet and nice! my brother told me he was always good but I stood up for him because hes my family, but all that stuff he said about dad is true! hes a 2 faced, back stabbing, lying, aggressive bullshit artist! he hits me, my mom, my dog, and he came to school to pick me up last week, drunk as hell, and had a minimal verbal conflict with a student, but still its completely embarrassing AND everyone made fun of me for it the next day, he had a seizure last spring because of his alcohol and had severe problems in his urinal glands, now he hides bottles under the bed, under the couches and then lies about it, I blame my mental, physical, and spiritual pain entirely on him, if it takes the rest of my life I shall see that he suffers just as much as he made me suffer but at the same time it hurts to hate and want to inform the authorities of this, what should I do?

If you want to wait it out, wait it out.
If you want to take action, without your moms consent, call child protection or 911, or talk to a school counselor.

The punching doesn't sound that big of a deal, but its still child abuse and is illegal.

My view is that it is high time that serious decisions are made in your household. What I mean is that in light of your Father's severe drinking problem along with his abuse it is time that he either shapes up or ships out. There is no question that he has taken things too far by showing up drunk at your school and fighting with what I am guessing is a junior high school student. Basically, you and your Mum along with any other members of your household are going to have to work together and come up with a coordinate action to deal with your Father. After all, you don't want to grow up messed up, and you deserve to have a good, decent future.

If you are getting no where fast with your Mum, then talk to your counselor at school. Don't keep your feelings bottled in, and talk to someone responsible who can help you.

If you get anything out of this post, then know that there is nothing wrong with you and that you don't deserve the treatment that you are getting. The reality is that your Father is a slave to his impulses and alcohol, and he is no longer in control of himself. Sadly, you seem much more mature and rational than your Father. Don't ever loose hope and give up, and use your Father as an example of how you should not be. You seem like a smart, thoughtful fellow, and there is absolutely no reason why you cannot rise above your problems and make a good future for yourself. Just stay away from artificial substances such as alcohol and drugs to deal with your pain as you have seen first hand what such things have done to your Father.
