possible abuse

last night my mom and dad got into a fight and my dad hit her, grabbed her and threw her against a wall right in front of me and my three younger siblings. he's never done anything like this before but i'm scared it'll only get worse....i need advice. is there anything i can do?

scared and confused

Talk to your mother about it...and maybe speak to your other family...like your Father's parents or his siblings...he must be going through something harsh to do that...try not to judge him until you know whats going on.

And take it easy..I'm sure they both still love you and it will all work out...everyone loses the plot sometimes.

I agree with Sunny.
Of course the possibility of him just going through a rough time right now is also a good excuse, but that's exactly it - it's only an excuse. No matter how bad things might get for someone, if they can't handle it, then taking it out on someone else (especially a gf/wife/kid anything of the sort) is just not right. If he can't handle himself, then something's gotta be done about it...
Second chances are understandable if he is willing to promise he's sorry and never do it again. But... It's not always the best idea.
There's not much I can tell you to do... Just tell someone, or talk to your mom and see what she thinks about it. (She'll most likely be in denial about it, and if that's the case, you may have to talk some sense into her - even if it means saying something she doesn't want to hear.)
Best of luck, stay safe. -Stefhy
