I was born and raised in Argentina, I just saw the in the paper how they're dealing with domestic violence during the quarantine. And I wanted to cry. I don't know what to do or who to talk to. Maybe I'm overreacting , maybe the situation will change I do not know. I need advice. I talked to my grandpa and he said my father is like this because x and y . Like this is normal. My therapist was understanding but didn't give me an answer. My father since I have memory is a very explosive person, if I do something wrong like failing in some chore he will snap at me out of the blue. And in most extreme cases hit me. I know it's common in latin homes the use of sandals for example to educate. But when I was around 7 he used the belt with me and my brother, when I was 13 and I didn't do the homework he hit me until I peed my pants , when I was 16 he hit me with the phone . When I started having depression and cut myself he hit me again but this time my brother got in the middle. Now , at 23 he started screaming at my mother for the most stupid reasons , this pandemic is forcing me to stay in the house 24/7 and recent events has made him scream at us , get into fights , he has always been verbally abusive towards me and my brother, but seeing him scream at my mother for ten minutes because according to him he's the only one doing things, bothers me. She did nothing wrong. And I'm scared , my brother always gets in the middle when he is about to hit me , but I don't want this anymore. I can't defend myself , I'm scared of my own father. My mom says she's going to kick him out if it gets physical again but I hate this fear and paranoia I have. I don't know what to do. What am I supposed to do???
TL ;DR my dad is verbally abusive towards my brother and me, I'm scared he's going to get physical since he does it every once in a while. What am I supposed to do?
This is a throwaway account since my brother had me added on my personal one.
