My dad's been back in the house for a little while now and he seemed okay but last night he went nuts, he kicked down a door trying to get to my mom to keep beating her; he kicked her, punched her grabbed her shirt by the collar and tried to choke her with it and then he did choke her. I had to run downstairs and when I'd got him off of her and booted him squarely in the ribs myself and my mom went into the living room and my mom hid behind me and he punched through a window in one of our doors and severely cut his hand. Then I had to fix a doorframe a door and had to give him some of my first aid stuff meaning I've got no way to dress my wounds and for the first time in years I nearly knowingly cut my wrists as opposed to somewhere hidden.
So I'm wondering who do you report this to in scotland.

You should go straight to the police as this is an urgent matter, either by calling them or going in there. You can also tell your school counsellor and they can contact the police and authorities for you.

I'm not sure how it works in scotland, but, if you have any teachers at school that your close to, and who are willing to help, you can talk to them, Here in Australia it's a teachers job to alert the authorities, this may be seen as stupid, but it can help incredibly.
What I think the best thing you can do is just talk to the police or another family member, a school counciler, or a Teacher. *nods*
Sucks that this is happening, but it's happening and there isn't much you can do about it.
/sad
Hope it all turns out slightly more hopeful for you. =/

Wow..
Sorry, I have no clue who to report to in scotland. I would try going to the police or talking to abuse advocates.
I say bravo to you for kicking him in the ribs. It's scary, could have backfired, and I wouldn't do it again, but it didn't, so good. That is not a good situation at all to be in but it will get better. Ending it now when it's crappy means not having it when its great, which it will be.

Well actually it wouldn't have backfired, he waited until I was sleeping so that I wouldn't be able to intervene he's afraid of me because I'm bigger than he is.
