Is killing someone wrong? What if you are protecting someone? Is it still wrong? What other options are there? I know most people are thinking why the hell am I asking this question. Maybe I'm just mad (insane, angry or both). Well, that's part of it. I think. I try to be a pacifist and most of the time I am unless I see some sort of injustice. Well, I have to see this injustice every weekend. My parents argue. They fight terribly and I can't stand it. I hate to see my mother treated like dirt by a person who by all reasoning should still be dragging his knuckles and grunting to communicate. Yes, these are my real parents (as far as I know). He isn't my step dad. He treats me like shit but hey I think he is just insane.
Well, back to my question. Is murder wrong? No, I'm not going to kill him. I would love to use him for target practice but he isn't worth me being put in jail. But wouldn't you want to kill somebody like that. Wouldn't you want to protect the ones you love from a person like that. He isn't very patient. We aren't allowed to speak when he is angry. We aren't allowed to speak our minds. He says we are but if we say something that is wrong in his eyes we must shut up. If not I (because it is usually me that doesn't shut up) will suffer the consequences. He hasn't hit me in a while but I have a 10 year old sister and a sick mother. I love them both dearly.

I'm also 18 years old and by law I'm an adult. I can move out and I would love too but I can't. I don't want to leave my mother or my sister there. Neither of them are strong enough to defend theme selves. lf ever my father wishes to lash out and one of them decides to speak. I would love for my mother to leave him but she won't. She won't listen to me and my 22 year old sister says nothings wrong (apparently she's forgotten how he is since she moved out). I know that killing is wrong. Taking someone's life is wrong. I would never do that. I want to protect my Mom and sister but how. How do you persuade someone to leave someone? She says he's just angry stay out of his way. Why is she so stupid? Why doesn't she see who he is? I don't know why I'm writing this. Maybe just to vent my anger and frustration. If anyone has gone through this situation or just has suggestions please make them.

Thanks
