My father just used a LGTB-phobic slur with me.

Ok, that was... quite uncomfortable I must say.
Sorry to hear that.

I've been there so the best advice I can give is that stop caring about what your father says completely. It'll still hurt but reminding yourself that the opposite side has no idea what they're talking about helps.

Because I don't have enough physical evidence and my parents can get away with It just by saying "It isn't true" to everything.

Which sucks, but It sadly is that way.
I'm so sorry man...do you not have any relatives you could go to? Older siblings? Aunts or uncles? Sorry to intrude onto something that might be personal but just giving suggestions that could help.
The **** the police gonna do
If evidence could be found. Obviously be charged or arrested for neglect or abuse.

Dude I keep saying if your father is so bad why havent you reported this to the police?
A slur isn't enough to get the police involved unfortunately.

Really, they can only come in if someone is physically in danger. Child services though... They can.

The best way to do a Metroid movie would be to not show Samus's face until the very end of it. Just like the games.

This, you can't exactly arrest someone for saying a slur word.

Slurs aren't really a crime.

Wear a wire. Record things on your phone in secret. Do something so you can have plenty of evidence. You need to get out of there.

There are times when I'm tempted to fly to your island, rent a moving truck, get you out of there, and take you back to America with me. I feel so bad about your situation. I want to help.

That's not a very good idea tbh but I understand the feeling.

Word of advice JCD. If you can manage to eventually make enough money yo afford for yourself, move out and cut off all ties from this ***hat you call your father. I wish the worst on him such as going homeless or catching the coronavirus. I'd laugh at his misery then.

Or do what Snake suggested.

Do Child services even help after you turn 18?
Good question. Worth looking into.

Gonna be honest, I wasn't aware they were 18+.

That would be kidnapping.

Damn, you really want him dead, huh?

I don't think America is a good Plan B lol. Also, that's illegal.

The only abuser is a dead abuser. They shouldn't have rights along with the worst of criminals.

Mental illness should also not be a excuse. Because say a serial killer killed over 100 people or someone blew up a school. Should mental illness give them the pass?

I mean... if he told me no when I got there I'd take my moving truck for a joyride before going home sad.
Snake.... you do know JD lives on an island, right? How the hell would you even get the truck there? You can't exactly fly it and iirc very few boats would actually take a moving truck on them(too tall which would cause way too much disjointed balance issues)

Even if they said yes, if the parent is the legal guardian, its still kidnapping.

@JDCabrera

Is your dad your legal guardian?

Actually what country are you from? I legit don't know. I feel like most of the advice I could give is US only.

Damn, people really don't want Brie Larson to play Samus in a Metroid Movie.
Just because gnats gather doesn't mean they have anything reasonable to say. Brie Larson would make a good Samus and who knows maybe the negative feedback from over sensitive man children will give the film a much needed boost because sometimes their isn't a better promoter than negative reviews.

I'm from the Canary Islands (phisically part of Africa but politically part of Spain).

The law system is similar to the one in Spain.

I rent the truck on his island (there has to be a moving truck company somewhere) and then incur the most expensive checked luggage fee in all of airline history.

I think there are a lot of alive abusers as we speak.


I'm going to assume you're being specific of what type of abuse is being used unless you think substance abusers are truly worse than murderers.
I mean physical.

Times like this I wish I had omnipotence that way I could annoy people like JDC's father until he gave in and swore to be a better person. Better than exposing one to their worst fears and nightmares yes?

Because if they did report it to the police they would feel that would only embolden the abuser's actions after the police officer leaves. Or if their dad is taken away that would leave them out of a place to live. There are a lot of reasons why people don't call the police on their parents or guardians.

From what I can tell, Larson is typecast as the actiony blow uppy woman.

I just don't see Samus like that. There's a hidden vulnerability and loneliness to Samus's character and I'm not sure if Larson can do that well.

I just really don't want Samus to be bang bang shooter mcgirl son. It would be a huge misinterpretation of her character. Though I suppose that's mainly on the writers.
Some actors have a tendency to be cast as a specific type of character frequently. That doesn’t mean they can’t pull off other types. If they could only play one type of character, they wouldn‘t really be a good actor honestly.

A lot of actors got famous by only doing one kind of role.

Poor Boris Karloff got stuck doing movie monsters.

Personally I think Wonder Woman's actor can pull off a better Samus than Brie ever could.
Just give her a blonde wig

People should check out Brie's roles from before she got big.
There's some really good stuff there, Room in particular is what got her a lot of attention and deservedly so.

I think its hard to properly define Samus as a character since she had so little actual character development in her series (unless we go off mangas and Other: M) So beyond Space bounty hunter Samus is really a blank.

I meant physically speaking.
Brie is pretty boring and plain, but Gal (am I getting her name right?) While playing wonder woman manages to capture the strong female image that Samus also gives off.

That's not true. She has a very defined character.

She's just defined through body language for the most part.

There's also more popular dialogue scenes from Metroid Fusion who show the kind of person she is.
