Martial Law!! this what is implemented in our house... my father is a soldier with a high position, he is also a drunkard. no one could disobey my father and even grab or have his/her right and even my mom.... In our home(don nu if it is still home)one mistake causes a lot of pain, mistake of one, mistake of all.... That is why i decided and aimed to study far from home... now that I'm studying far from home, but what i worried most is my mom and my younger brothers that are trapped in my father's stupid laws... What should i do...

First of all, your father is wrong! It doesn't matter if he has a high position or not, he is not a good soldier! A good father and a good soldier would know how to be disciplined, without being abusive! A drunk is not a good soldier! A good father would know how to care for his family better than that! And it doesn't matter what religion or what culture or race you are, nor what country you live in, it is still wrong! As far as what to do, that may be the most difficult thing that you will ever encounter! It looks like it is going to be up to you, to be the one that gets out and acquires what it takes to be a real man, and a real soldier to confront him and save the rest of your family! Many persons have had to do this, and it may be very hard, but these people never gave up, and had enough will in them to withstand severe consequences to overcome someone that was being abusive, or taking advantage of another human being! At this time I pray for you, that you may acquire the wisdom and the strength that I have learned, for I, also, cannot stand by, and let a "bully" abuse another person, without me stepping in and helping the innocent person! Someone has to do it !!!
