I enlisted into the army reserves in October and I'm set to go to training august 1st for 8 months.

My parents volun-"told" me to go work at my uncles and clean his disgusting backyard from Tuesday to Friday. This turned into Tuesday until the next Thursday. Now my father has done things mentioned in the following pictures, not mentioned are
-going through my Skype
-attempting to go through my computer history
-slapping me consistently
-trying to gain some sort of control over me by forcing me to eat breakfast
-interrupting me when I talk because I have a stutter and don't talk fast enough for him
-threatened to kill me with his hand around my throat
my mom kind of just let's it happen, says it's my fault and whatnot, but on the night he threatened to murder me, I was crying in my room hysterically and my mom came up and basically dared me to call CPS. "They'll separate you and your brother and you can deal with that yourselves. I don't give a fuck"
-my dad also pushed me into a window because I was messaging my then-girlfriend while I was grounded

Anyway, I'm at my uncles right now, and he's just as big of an asshole as my dad. PIC RELATED happend. What do I do?

I don't know what to do, and if this results in a ban, then so be it. I'm 17, and I have nowhere to turn to. Posting all pics. I'm blue.

As for your problem, you sound like kind of a bitch so it's expected that you're treated the way you are.

jesus man, get out, cut contact whatever you have to do fuck these people. Hopefully after your done with training you can find a place and move in either on your own or with others.

Fuck it dog. Just try to avoid them you are about to be outie. He might have more respect for you when you get back from boot camp.

Get out. Run, and never look back.

Your family is white trash at its finest

I would go to the police and file a charge against your father for aggression.

OP speaking from at one point the same situation, I kicked their asses and never went back. I literally threw my uncle into the wall and told him to man up. I then left, went to community college. I now have a loft and live very very comfortably. I didn't see my mom for almost 4-5 years after that event. I saw her just last month when visiting my sister. she dropped everything and cried on my shoulder. I proceeded to distance myself. Life gives us these people as an example of what not to be/ what we could become with enough hatred.
Take this example, learn from it. Move on, and live a prosperous life.
>>
>>17327984
Child Services aren't mustache-twirlling villains. They're not gonna come in and say "nope, you can never ever see your brother again". Removing the child is usually the last resort, too.

Seriously, you'll probably be doing him a favor. Do you really want him to go through the same childhood as yours? Your parents' behavior is unacceptable.
>>
>>17327966
Perhaps you could tell me? I don't know the feeling.

>>17327984
Gosh if only there were things that helped smaller people beat bigger stronger people... Gosh. That sure would be nice.
>>
>>17328001
To add, learn how to keep your mouth shut. Stop talking to them, hey don't like you. Eventually, everything you say and do will be used against you. I suggest getting out of the house to work, and focus on the long-term goals you have set. If you do not heed my warning, you will be forced into this mental/physical abuse for what will seem like an endless amount of time. Good luck!

He's 14, and they usually let him get away with being a little shit. He's pretty much done with childhood and I've given him all the advice I can about staying out of trouble.

That'll probably get me arrested unless he attacks me first. If I'm in that situation I'll remember your advice.

you know your ship day is supposed to be classified information right? OPSEC.

Also if you hate living there so much why would you go reserves and not active duty.
>>
>>17328021
All shit talking aside, you need to vacate immediately. The best revenge is to live well without them. Leave and never look back for any reason.
>>
>>17328022
I'm sure it's fine.
I went reserves because I don't want t be gone from everyone else for 4 years. I just really want my certs and 4500 a year for community.

Trying to find a place to stay but no luck

dude opsec lmao

http://www.navytimes.com/story/military/2015/06/17/sf-86-security-clearance-breach-troops-affected-opm/28866125/

deployment date =/= ship date
>>
>>17328038
you know active duty contract is 8 years right? not 4. I've never heard of 4500 a year for community do you mean as a salary from drill? why would you not want to move away from them?
>>
>>17328060
All contracts are 8 years. Reservists typically get 6 years reserve and 2 years IRR. Active typically get 4 years active and 4 years IRR. the 4500 is the reservist gi bill, tuition assisstance. I want to leave the house, but I want to stay in my area generally, for sake of connections.
>>
>>17328042
hm i have had many people tell me not to tell my exact ship date. oh whale. i will say navy is gay.
>>
>>17328082
jeez thats really shitty. only $4500? Did you take the 2k bonus and not the 10k student repayment plan?
>>
>>17328098
I didn't pick either. It either wasn't offered or I didn't ask or whatever. You get like 30k in loan repayment but only if you have them before you enlist. The 4500 is enough for community and that's fine. Plus I'll come out with 6000 from training, give or take. Because my training is 8 months and I'll be E-2.
>>
>>17327984
Chunk deuces man. Don't hang around the house. Make yourself ghost status till you ship out. Tell him you going running or something to get ready for basic then stay gone and come back when he is asleep.
>>
>>17328106
I did jrotc and am also going to be an e-2. it might be because your mos didnt offer the bonuses. you dont want to go to actual college?
>>
>>17328123
Same did rotc. No, they wanted me to take military intelligence for 8k bonus but I waited until I got IT. It's what I wanted. I want to go to uni eventually but I'll need another 20k to cover the 2 years of it, with my 4500 a year supplementing it. I'm 25B.

-going through my Skype
-attempting to go through my computer history

-forcing me to eat breakfast

I don't see how these are a huge problem. Technically you're still a child living with your parents.
Most generations before you would get slapped/beaten. I hold no hard feeling against my own father for being ruthless in that department.

-threatened to kill me with his hand around my throat
What did you do ?

Sounds like some old school tough love. None of this "everyone gets a medal for participating" bullshit.

Get independent and gtfo.

8k bonus huh? not bad. what did you get on your asvab

um you are clearly just a bitch.

Your dad is upset he fathered a bitch, so stop being a bitch and he'll stop treating you like one, you little bitch. also dont talk to your parents like that

It's more of like I don't do anything to warrant it. Like I say "hold on" because I'm cutting a carrot or something and he screams and threatens to kill me for saying "hold on"
I just let him hold me and then he let go of me and I cried upstairs.
I'm trying to get independant.

>>17328174
Probably
>>17328178
Because its unwarranted. I get it that he's the father he can do whatever he wants and I understand that, but he only parents when it's convenient. He said "if you don't eat breakfast everyday I'm taking away all your stuff until you go to basic" and then he never enforced it. I didn't eat breakfast in front of him multiple times and he didn't care. He came up and said he wanted to check my history for porn. He said he'd check again periodically. He never did. I think he just needs a power rush once in a while or something. They don't have their own arguments and just circlejerk each other even when I'm right
>>17328178
I've been meaning to leave for awhile but had nowhere to turn. Today Im.just tired of it.
>>
>>17328193
You're complaining that he didn't enforce breakfast eating ?
Or are you complaining that he did try initially ?

What is the issue with the porn ?
You're a child. They own you, and your porn folder.
I'll also assume they purchased the computer/phone/etc...
>>
>>17328257
I'm Complaining that he thinks he's doing fantastic at parenting when he really only does it when it's convenient, and for a power rush. The computer was a gift from my grandfather and I bought the hard drive and graphics card. I bought my own phone.
I would not complain about it if they actually cared to enforce their own rules. They're shitty parents.
>>
>>17328193
You going to have to suck it up dude. It's part of life I couldn't stand my dad around 14-18 yrs old. Thought he was the biggest douche, but now we are tighter than anybody. Humble yourself and appease him to keep the bs down.
>>
Wow your folks are cunts. Let them embody everything that you will never become. You'll be better than them
>>
>>17328168
A parent that threatens to kill their child shouldn't continue to have custody of that child.
"Tough love" is all well and good, but physical violence such as that is completely unacceptable criminal behavior.

OP put "going through my skype" at the top of the list.
He's also upset that his father didn't enforce the eating breakfast rule.

IF his life was in danger, I'm sure that would be the priority and he would call the authorities.
I doubt we are getting the full story.
>>
You aren't going to make it through BCT if you are this soft, OP
>>
>>17328433
Skype was the most recent at last week. The breakfast rule is just the most prominent example of his desire for complete control over me. He's done other things like placing a limit on computer time, making me "go outside and play" at 16, among others. My life is not in immediate danger, as he feels remorseful about it, but I have no doubt he would do it again. I didn't want to call the authorities since my dad would probably just say I'm lying or whatever. Then get beat when the cops leave.
>>
>>17328485
I know what I'm in for at basic. It's the fact it's my family doing this that makes me want to leave.
>>
>>17328490
No, you don't. Your mom is right. Your father may be an asshole, but you are an ingrate. His behavior didn't justify yours. And I even believe he is as bad to you as you want us to believe.
>>

>Skype was the most recent at last week.
Maybe he wants to make sure theres no pedophiles on your skype trying to get you naked ?
Maybe he saw something where some 16 year old exposed themselves and then an hero'd because their naked body was posted all over the internet...

>The breakfast rule is just the most prominent example of his desire for complete control over me
It's not complete control. Is he in the bathroom making sure you wipe properly ?
Absolutely nothing is wrong with trying to get your child to eat breakfast. It's a healthy start to the day.
Stop being a bitch and just do it.

>placing a limit on computer time, making me "go outside and play"
Are you taking the piss m8 ?
You're a child. These are rules your parent tried to enforce on you. Nothing wrong with them.

Once you're an adult and independent you can sit around on a computer all fucking day and never eat breakfast if thats what you really want in life.
>>
Parents don't own their children. You guys have fucked up world views. As someone who has had multiple friends with fucked up parents, this story sounds reasonable.

I've seen this shit firsthand. I mean there was a boy with down syndrome in our neighborhood, and his parents beat him for being retarded. I had to help smuggle him to my childhood home and my mom called the cops after I tape recorded that shit.

I've seen kids take verbal abuse for no reason. I saw a friend take a fist to the face from his father because he didn't here him calling.

Parents are fucked. I'm lucky my mom loves me and supports me when I fuck up. Most don't have that luxury.
>>
>>17328627
That's what moms do. It's daddy that put the smack down on your ass. They do own them and they have to take all the responsibility for them. No parent is perfect.
>>
>>17328642
My dad did drugs and died when I was 16. Before that He never took any responsibility, and I wouldn't listen to his shit. He was an alcoholic.

You know what happened? He tried to beat me, my mom called the cops, divorced his ass and took custody. They have no right to beat children because they do it out of pure spite.

Guess what I grew up, have a job, got an education, and love my mom. You don't need to be beaten for that.

It's a parents job to be a decent human fucking being. Children are inherently idiots and do stupid shit. Hitting doesn't change nature.
>>
>>17328707
OP is clearly not some victim of circumstance. He's a piece of shit himself. What's he going to do when drill sergeant makes him eat breakfast and he doesn't have internet access to post on 4chan about what a meany doo doo head the army is?
>>
>>17328712
I doubt he's a piece of shit. He isn't even 18. I'm more than willing to believe he's in an abusive family, know why? No parent threatens to kill their child. That's not a parent. That's a drugged/boozed up sleazeball.

Oh and get over yourself you fucking NEET. Is your outlook on the military the movie full metal jacket? He'll fucking make it through basic.
>>
>>17328732
>No parent threatens to kill their child.
That's just it. I don't believe it happened. One of OP's bombshell complaints is that dad limits his computer time. Ooh, that's just so cruel....

> Is your outlook on the military the movie full metal jacket?
Five years on active duty from 2001-2006, with a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2004. I was halfway through basic when 9/11 happened.
>>
>>17328757
Look dog, I respect your service time. But, cmon. He'll make it. Abusive family and boot camp are different challenges. Abusive family is emotional scarring that fucks you up mentally. Boot camp is a discipline thing, and if he lacks it I'm sure they will give it to him.

Also, take into consideration your story isn't any more believable than his. But I'll take what your saying with a shred of truth.
>>
>>17328793
Nobody comes out of adolescents unscathed.
>>
>>17328793
Basic training is psychologically taxing as it is physically. Drill sergeants planted an empty Powerade bottle in out ceiling tiles so they could 'bust' us. Guess what happened next: Powerade watch. We had to do rotations to make sure the vending machine was guarded 24/7, even though none of us had cash. Basic is full of dumb shit like that just to fuck with you. On top of the constant yelling and the physical demands, if OP's recourse to what he describes (assuming he is telling the whole truth - which I do not believe is the case) is to cry to the internet, he lacks the mental fortitude to make it.

I fully admit that basic training is not so hard that most people couldn't pass. I'm just pointing out that the way op presents himself, he won't.
>>
>>17328828
Op here. I've gone through one week of marine corps boot camp during a trip with ROTC. It wasn't that hard but I was very drained, although I got through it. There's a difference between being drilled for a reason by your drill instructor for discipline and being threatened by your closest family. I guarantee it happened. I'm not complaining about a limit of computer time, I'm coplaonimg that he's only a parent when it's convenient.
>>
>>17329053
>I'm coplaonimg that he's only a parent when it's convenient.

You want approval or more attention from your father ?

Tell him you love him. Every fucking day. One day he won't be there and you will miss him.
No parent is perfect. They are just like us but with a few more years experience..
>>
>>17329081
He threatened to kill me over 2 words "hold on'. He sure isn't perfect. But hey, you convinced me. I'm calling my recruiter and I'm going to drop out of the reserves tomorrow. I csnt handle basic, especially when I'm the way I am now. Hopefully I'll do better.
