well, it wasn't my mother ... it was my sister, she was 8 months pregnant, and my drunken bro-in-law slammed her tummy first into the kitchen counter ... I called the police and his ass was tossed in jail where it belonged

How bad did he hit her? Is she hurt? If she is .. go to a safe place outside your home and call the cops.

If your father hits your mother, it is a crime...it's assault. If it's an ongoing thing then she really may need your help...

By crazy you mean your angry and worked up and want to punch his lights out for being an out and out prick? Yeah thats ok... but dont do it. Hes the bad guy here dont let yourself follow his example. The responces here are what you need to do after you've calmed down a little. Most impotrant of all is that you take care of your mum!

That's domestic abuse and is a crime. If you physically witness it then you can lay a complaint to the police....but if you haven't then only your mother can do it I'm afraid unless you want to get real sly and put a camera somewhere to record it but that has plenty of risks involved with doing it

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
