What should I do if my father neglects and bullies us?

My father is not financially supporting me, and he is also involved in an extramarital affair, which causes him to neglect us a lot. My mother and I have been bullied many times, and I had poor parenting when I was a child. Can you kindly give me some suggestions on what I should do?

Considering your case,you can consider taking proactive legal action. Firstly, see a family lawyer to get yourself apprised of the law. If there is a court order already, child support established and he ignores, then you should seek the enforcement which can have provisions like garnishment of his wages. Document incidents of neglect and bullying cases, as that could be significant evidence in the courtroom. Lastly, consider going to counseling with both yourself and your mother so you can emotionally take care of yourselves and deal with those issues.

Given your case, take proactive legal action. Go first to a family lawyer to get yourself apprised of the law concerning your rights about child support and negligence on the part of parents. If there's an established court order regarding child support in place and he's ignoring it, then you should file for enforcement which can have provisions like garnishment of his wages. Document incidents of neglect and bullying cases, as that could be important evidence in the courtroom. Lastly, consider going into counseling with both yourself and your mother so that you can emotionally take care of yourselves and deal with these issues.
