feeling awful!

sorry to say this ,but once your 18 you can do what you want

The age of consent in Missouri is 17. I don't know what that means in the USA, but up here in the frozen tundra, (where the age is 16) that means you can go to a doctor and say "help me" without the consent of your parents. It means that if you want to leave, they can't stop you. I'm not suggesting that you leave, Kayla, but with some help from your school councellor, you might be able to sort some of this out and get you hooked up with therapy. ForeverSarah has a really good point, if you can produce a "valid" professional opinion, your father will see this in a different light.

Next, little sister, you are not to blame for any of this, so forget that. Like Jessica said, you are the one in pain here.
