I have a master’s in mechanical engineering and recently returned from Germany back to my home country in India. The reason being that I am preparing for my career in pure mathematics and had no other option than do my preparation at home (with my parents living in the same house obviously).

Basically my dad is physically and verbally abusive. He use to hit me and push me over stuff until two years ago when he went on a bipolar medication. Now he’s just nasty verbally to me, telling me I’m an idiot, a bitch, fat (when I’m 100 pounds and he’s big himself), and a piece of shit which is his most common one.
