Input: Hi, 18f here, i live in a heavily religious Christian family and I myself am leaning towards atheist myself. Now, I want to give all the information beforr I start, my dad is verbally abusive towards my mother. No, he has never laid a hand on her but he makes her feel like snot amd when they argue he always turns around the problems on her. He also ruined my 18th birthday and I went into crisis counseling the next day so just cry for an hour. (Spoiler, my councilor didn't really help).
Just a quick note he grew up in an physically abusive relationship with his patents where they taught him that spanking was not only okay, but the right thing to do. Yes, i consider it physical abuse because it still haunts me when he pulls off his belt and calls me over and it makes me extremely scared when he jokingly threatens hitting me and he loves to do it often. He also has a tendency to snap at me about the littlest thing, like one day I said didn't want dinner because I wasn't hungry it was like 4 in the afternoon and two hours later my mom made a potato and i grabbed a fork with the intention of taking a single bite and my dad lost his bleeding mind and yelled at me how I shouldnt eat because i said i wasn't hungry.

So yeah, i hate him. I could write a book on the absurd things he says and does and if anyone asks I would be happy to share because its kinda funny.

But, hes probably actually depressed, having worked at a well paying job for 14 years then quit it due to the toil in order to start an insurance business. Tbh i hated him for it but its just because my quality of life decreased and i myself stressed that we wouldnt be able to live in the house anymore. I asked my mom if we could get him a therapist and lo and behold he had one but refused to talk ab the important stuff???

So story begins. I made tea for the day and we drank it all by after dinner. He asks me to make more and I said multiple time, trying to get my words out as he laughed at me bc idk he thought it was funny that I said simply "no, i have school tomorrow and i need to take a shower." If anything my lazy, racist brother was sitting at the table across from the kitchen just putting legos together like he wasn't a twenty year old man who still lives with his parents. So my dad lost it and called me down to piss and yell at me about how i had no power in the house and he could make me do whatever he wanted. Idk he screamed for another 10 minutes im just nodding and saying yes sir at this point because id rather hurry this up. He moves on and i turn my back to cry. I go upstairs and cry and my mom comes in to counsel me and i said i didn't want to talk to her, never did i raise my voice or swear. Shes also a snitch so there was no way i was saying anything, ive learned my lesson.

I pass the master bedroom and she calls me in and tells me i have to be more humble to him, i have to grovel and say im sorry. Wow red alarms. I listen to that for like 5 minutes and its extremely uncomfortable because she talks about how hes the head of the house hold and smth religion related. I yeet out of there as fast as possible with no intention of saying any sort of apology. Should i apologize? Just so yall know this is definitely not the first time this has happened and will not be the last, but I always feel like its never been justified.

 This is genuine btw and im not just ranting because I really want to know if i should just accept it and do what my mom wants just a bit longer because I know he's going through a very stressful part of his life or hold to my own "hard hearted" beliefs.

not apologizing to my father
