RE: "Something moved...and he fired."
Jessica,
You seem like a very mature and level-headed young lady. We are all very sorry for the all the circumstances that you are involved with. If what you are saying about your father's abuse and him calling your brother a fag and you and your sister sluts is true than he does not deserve the rewarding piece of his life that would involve a continued relationship with his children. Not unless there was an honest to goodness change in him. there is no excuse for any kind of abuse. I hope that you will have the courage to voice your overall concern for your brother with adults who do care and can help him and you. our prayers go out to you. please let us know if we can do anything we can do
