My parents have been divorced for about two years. My dad is still very mean to my mother over text. They need to communicate because of the children. I recently decided to end my relationship with my dad due to the emotional abuse I got from him. He keeps bullying my mom over text that she needs to get me into therapy so that my relationship with him can be fixed. I don't want therapy or to repair the relationship. But I do want the bullying to end. Please help.

In desperate need of advice
Well don't contact your father and tell your mother why. If you are 18 or older then no one can force you to seek treatment if you don't want to. x
There is a post from you just 5 months ago.
It says that your Mom left about a year ago and your parents just finalised their separation a couple of days ago.
So now you are saying they have been divorced a couple of years ?
Have you tried any of the Domestic Abuse organisations? There are some you can contact anonymously. So you can talk freely. No fear of any action being taken that you don't want.
Your Mom can show the texts to the Police if she wishes - but that's up to her.
Hope you can find the right support for you.
Consider your needs and how you wish to move on with your Father. You sound like you get on with your Mother so if that is the case continue with that relationship and cease the relationship with your Dad. If the relationship is abusive.
Dependent on age and the situation regards your Parents divorce and where you live in the world, the Court may direct which parent will be looking after you. If you are classified adult you have become your own person so you can walk away from the distraction of your Father, keeping in contact with your Mother
The relationship between Mam and Dad if there are still problems your Mother can get Him bound over, not to bother her. It is difficult to recommend a way around this your Mother may need to see Her Solicitor
