RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

MODERATORS
I agree with one of the other people; make sure that you're in a position where they have no ability to contact you, and you will never need to contact them, and then send it. That means things like a new address in a new city, making sure that they're not on anything like student loans, etc. You may need to cut a lot of other ties as well; abusive families tend to use friends of their victim to keep tabs on them. Really severing ties in a way that is very, very hard for a determined abuser to track is hard, but i'd suggest taking as many of those steps as you can prior to throwing that particular bomb into a group chat.
PS - I think that you can go farther with you dad. There are a lot of great quote from Jesus--assuming that he's Christian--that would be appropriate.
