Growing up
I AM 16 and have issues with my verbally abusive father. When we called social services, he lied to them about what he does, and they believed him. How do I fix this? Renee

Renee,
First, talk to your school counsellor. Venting your feelings will make it easier to focus on your life and build a foundation for your own success.
A mental strengthening will occur when you take steps to enhance your life. Since you have no power to change him, spend that energy on improving yourself.
