My sister is 22, I'm 25, we share a house. I work at a grocery store, she works at Wendy's. We are pretty basic as far as adult children go. <br><br>I don't live with our dad anymore, and I haven't for awhile. Our parents were divorced in 2004, and we have another sister who is 31 who lives with our dad. We're all girls. <br><br>He's a piece of shit, but I didn't realize how bad he was until I moved out when I was 19. I had to get away. Ever since then, I've been wracked with guilt that I left our baby sister at home when I knew that I should have protected her. <br><br>Well she's an adult now. She got her degree and is moving in with me in 8 months. She just moved into a new apartment, and because of COVID, she asked our dad if she could quarantine there for two weeks before moving into her apartment. <br><br>At the time our dad said of course. <br><br>So, she quarantined for 2 whole weeks. She cleaned, she cooked, she ironed shirts, she did all the laundry, she swept, she did all the yard work, she cleaned out the fridge, and she even cleaned the fridge coils so that the fridge would be more efficient. <br><br>She went and got her negative test, and our dad freaked out. He said "Why would you get a COVID test when you already spent 2 weeks with me?" <br><br>She said "I did it to protect you pops, so that you can be sure that I didn't give you COVID." <br><br>Then he was quiet, and she said she was going home. He asked where and she said her new apartment. He said she had to be quarantining for 2 more weeks because she went to get tested and that's what you have to do if you get tested for COVID.<br><br>Wait for it.... <br><br>She said no, that's for people who are waiting for their test results and might be COVID positive. <br><br>He got mad. <br><br>He said she is a piece of shit. She doesn't care enough about her family to risk getting COVID. <br><br>He called our other two sisters and was going off about how our baby sister didn't care about him, and she exposed him recklessly. <br><br>He demanded she come back home immediately, and she told him no again. <br><br>He called the police on her and said she was recklessly exposing him to COVID and they told him that it doesn't work that way. <br><br>He also called her boyfriend and went off on him, which pissed off our sister something fierce. <br><br>So now our dad is calling everyone in the family, and going off at all of us.<br><br>He is a piece of shit. <br><br>I'm so glad my sister stood her ground and is living her life. <br><br>Fuck off dad.<br><br>EDIT: OMG. This blew up. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and lovely. <br><br>I am overwhelmed and touched and I don't know how to reply to everyone. I am taking this as a sign from the universe that I should let go of the guilt that I have for leaving him. <br><br>It's time to heal and move forward. <br><br>Thank you so much Reddit for being here for me and my family. <br><br>I love you guys so much. ❤<br><br>EDIT NUMBER 2: <br><br>My sister read all the comments and she burst into tears. <br><br>She said she cried because "it feels like someone believes me." <br><br>I read her some of the comments and she said "See? It's not me. He's the one with the problem." <br><br>Her friends are all aware of our situation, and they all think our dad is a piece of shit too. <br><br>I think she feels validated. <br><br>EDIT 3: <br><br>My older sister called me and my baby sister and she was also going off on our baby sister for recklessly exposing our dad to COVID. <br><br>My baby sister cried. <br><br>She's a very sensitive person, and she does NOT respond well to conflict. She's also terrified of our dad and always has been. <br><br>She thought she was doing the right thing, and our dad said some pretty horrible things to her. So did our older sister. <br><br>My older sister is also a piece of shit. <br><br>Our baby sister went through a lot of shit. Our dad made her feel suicidal and worthless. Our older sister allowed our dad to do and say these things to our baby sister, and she never did anything to stop it. She just watched it happen and said it was the baby's fault for not trying hard enough. <br><br>So when our baby sister did everything she could to protect our dad and she still got shit for it, she felt betrayed. <br><br>Now our dad and older sister are ganging up on her, and she's just overwhelmed and sad. <br><br>I protected her. <br><br>I stood up for her and told our dad and older sister that it had gone too far. I told them she was an adult, and they couldn't bully her anymore. <br><br>She doesn't live with them. She did everything she was supposed to do, and she deserves to be treated like a human being. <br><br>I told them to fuck off, and that they were pieces of shit if they didn't stop. <br><br>I hang up. <br><br>She's still crying. <br><br>I'm so angry I'm shaking. <br><br>And I feel guilty. <br><br>I should have stood up for her sooner. <br><br>EDIT 4: <br><br>My dad and brother in law just showed up at my house. <br><br>I didn't answer the door. <br><br>They sat in the car in my driveway and did nothing for an hour. <br><br>I'm so creeped out. <br><br>EDIT 5: <br><br>They left, but I'm still creped out. <br><br>I'm trying to calm down. <br><br>My baby sister is crying again. <br><br>Our dad called her and told her she was an ungrateful piece of shit. <br><br>He told her that if she doesn't come home in an hour, he's calling the cops. <br><br>I told her that isn't going to happen. <br><br>But she's still afraid of him. <br><br>I'm so tired of this. <br><br>Our baby sister just left our house to go to her apartment. <br><br>She's crying. <br><br>Our dad just called and told me he's extremely disappointed in me. <br><br>I said fuck off and hung up.<br><br>EDIT 6: <br><br>Our dad and our older sister and her husband just showed up at my house. <br><br>They said they were taking our baby sister home. <br><br>I said hell no. <br><br>Our baby sister said hell no. <br><br>They said they were going to get the police and have our baby sister forcibly removed from our house. <br><br>Our baby sister started crying. <br><br>So did I. <br><br>They left and our dad called 20 minutes later and said he was going to get a restraining order against me because I'm holding our baby sister hostage at gun point. <br><br>None of that is true. <br><br>Our baby sister is not being held hostage. <br><br>She's an adult and can make her own decisions.<br><br>Our dad just hung up on me. <br><br>I'm so done. <br><br>I'm so done with this.<br><br>I'm such a piece of shit. <br><br>This is all my fault. <br><br>If I had protected her, she would be ok. <br><br>I'm so tired of this. <br><br>I'm so tired of our dad. <br><br>I fucking hate him. <br><br>I hate our older sister too. <br><br>I'm so done. <br><br>I never want to have anything to do with him again. <br><br>EDIT 7: <br><br>Our baby sister's boyfriend just called our dad and told him off for being a piece of shit. <br><br>Our dad called him a piece of shit back. <br><br>So the boyfriend hung up on him. <br><br>Our dad called our baby sister and told her she has an hour to come home before he calls the cops again. <br><br>She's shaking. <br><br>I'm so sorry this is happening to her. <br><br>I feel like this is all my fault. <br><br>If I had protected her things would be different. <br><br>EDIT 8: <br><br>Our dad called 20 minutes ago. <br><br>Our baby sister is shaking. <br><br>She's so scared. <br><br>He said he's going to get the police and have her removed from our house. <br><br>She's an adult. <br><br>She can't be removed from anywhere. <br><br>Our dad hung up and our baby sister just burst into tears. <br><br>I'm so sorry. <br><br>I'm so so sorry. <br><br>I should have protected her. <br><br>I'm such a piece of shit. <br><br>EDIT 9: <br><br>Our dad just called again and said he's giving our baby sister an hour, or he's calling the police. <br><br>She can't take it anymore and she's going home. <br><br>She's crying and shaking. <br><br>Our dad has won. <br><br>She's going home and she might not ever leave. <br><br>Fuck.<br><br>EDIT 10: <br><br>I used to think our dad abused us because our mom left him, but after reading all your comments, I think he was always abusive. <br><br>I'm so sorry to my baby sister and my older sister that I didn't see it sooner. <br><br>I'm going to get therapy, and I'm going to get my sisters therapy too. <br><br>It's over now. <br><br>We're going to heal and move on. <br><br>I love you all so much. <br><br>I'm so grateful for you all. <br><br>Thank you so much for being here for us and supporting us through this. <br><br>You are the best. <br><br>Love you guys. <br><br>EDIT 11: <br><br>Our baby sister called at 4:30 and said our dad called the police on her for reckless endangerment and they picked her up and are taking her home right now. <br><br>I didn't get to say anything to her before they took her phone. <br><br>She was crying. <br><br>I'm so
