Hopefully you have read my first question so I wont have to go into that again. I just wanted to address what most of you suggested for me to do. Have any of you stayed at a shelter? Most kick you out after a couple weeks. How do you get your life started over in a couple weeks? The conditions are unbareable. Also as far going to the law for help, his dad is the police chief of our tiny town. Have you heard of the good ole boys? Thats what I live with. I know I have to get away from this man, but how?

Where is your family? You might need to leave your town, if his dad is the police chief, maybe he doesn't know what a fool his son acts like. Maybe you should try to talk to him??? Shelters don't kick you out after two weeks, and like I said above, you might need to seriously think about leaving your town. It would be worth it.
