How Do You Do Deal With People Always Putting You Down?

Question by ~? DAWN~~: How do you do deal with people always putting you down?
For instance, today my dad hit me real hard on the shoulder on the way home just because he was yelling at me and I was just quiet. He snap out of no were and hit me and started insulting me. I never felt so embarrassed in my life. People were starring and that thicks me off when people yell at me infront of everybody. Also I started crying when we got home and he still was yelling at me in front of some neighboors. Im 19 and Im just tired of everytime I come from college my dad always has to make me feel like worthless. Im thinking of working and just moving out………..I know it wont be easy but its going to happend sooner or later. Can someone please give me some advice in how to deal with my dad anger issues. BTW my dad was an alcoholic and I pretty much grew up in an abusive home, so Im also wondering if him being an “ex alcoholic” has anything to do with this?
Queen@ thank you.
Christian Minister@ I read the article that you mention called, “Inside the Mind of an Abuser” and by reading it it all sound familiar. While I was reading it I was just remembering all the bad things I went through my childhood. Having to leave my home, becoming homeless, and all the humiliation. Not to mention having to feel scared all the time and worthless. Thank you very much for your concern and I really appreciate it. And I hope God will one day help my father and other people going through the same situation. Thank you and Jessica@ as well.
