Yes, I got upset reading this too! Poster so sorry for all you and your siblings are going through in the hands of your father. Your father deserve to be disgraced, he's not the type of father the bible command us to honour. I wish you or any of your sibling can record or video tape him when he's acting out or hitting any of you; call a meeting on his head while you make everyone watch him. Please, you need to leave that house before that man kills you! I believe your allowance is enough to sustain you for a while until you get a better paying job. Your father is not a pastor, he is the devil's advocate. He is a wolf in sheep clothing. He need to be taught a lesson. How does he even climbed the pulpit and preach to his congregation without feeling any sense of guilt? I bet he has sold his conscience. Or you can report him to any of the NGO that fight for children who are being battered by their parent.
