Might delete this post in an hour as I’m terrified they might see it and go off on me again.

I’m 18F and let’s just say our family dynamic has always been very strained. Today my dad found my brother 16M using his secret phone and went off at all of us. My brother is banned from using phones as he has a history of doing inappropriate things on them , but my mother bought the phone for him anyways for his birthday behind my dad’s back and she told me not to tell my dad about the phone, because she would tell him in her own time.

We’ll surprise surprise dad found out today and went off at all of us, threatening a divorce and cancelling the hotel booking for the family holiday. He said we are all snakes plotting against him.

What surprised me is that he shouted at me the most! He said he does not trust me as a few year ago I called the police on him and my mum due to serious physical abuse, neglect and emotional abuse. I regret it and have apologised but he say that I’m not to be trusted and that if I had a problem with him I should have just told him about it but I have before and it only got me beaten for being disrespectful.

Anyways, he referred to me calling the police and says I am always keeping secrets from him and that he cannot wait for me to get out of the house when I go to university. I know I should have told him but I didn’t want my mum to get angry at me and I did not want my dad to get mad at my brother. I personally think it’s not my business and that my dad is overreacting by wanting to divorce my mum over this and shouting for so long.

AITAH? And what would you do in this situation?
