Don't know what to do now, advice? (details inside).

Asked by MilkyWay (13745points) September 20th, 2012

As some of you may know, myself and my family have been victim to domestic abuse through my father for a number of years now.
I finally did something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, and yet couldn’t bring myself to do… I phoned the police.
It’s currently past 1:30 in the morning here. A few hours ago, my parents starting arguing downstairs and I heard shouting and crying. I heard all of my siblings shouting at my dad to stop, and I dialled 999.
My father is now in the police station, and won’t be home until at least the morning. I have college tomorrow, and yet I’m unable to sleep. I don’t know how I’m going to get through the coming day, I can’t afford to not go either.
I feel weird, and I guess I just want someone to point me in the right direction of what I should do and how I should cope with all of this.
Thanks jellies <3
