My psycho dad tried to unalive me.

Now, he won't pay child support unless I talk nice to him.

Here's what happened.

So for some background info, I'm in my early 20s and my brother is 16.

Our parents got divorced in 2014 after many, many years of physical

and emotional mistreatment. For example, he used to get physical with me, he locked me up

for hours on end, I still can't be in closed rooms or elevators, and he threatened to end us

multiple times. My brother and I are both in therapy and doing a lot better

now, but since he still lives at home, I moved out five years ago, he still has to see our

father from time to time, since they live in the same city in Germany. I've been diagnosed with

C-PTSD, depression, and panic disorder. I've been having severe anxiety

for years, and my brother has depression as well, which got really bad for about two years.

My father still continues to send us mail and letters to my brother. He doesn't know where I live,

so he can't send me letters. I've blocked him everywhere, but his mail still gets in my spam folder.

He wants to get in contact with us even though we don't want to.

He used to threaten me that he won't pay child support for me or my brother if we don't talk to him.

I had to take two jobs on top of studying full time just to support myself.

My mother didn't really care.

My mother decided to press charges against my father last year.

Yes, last year.

Not when it happened, not shortly after, last year.
