Right, well to cut a long story short, I stole £3. I was then assaulted (pushed around, hit etc)by my mom's boyfriend. My mam wants me to apologize to her for taking the money, regardless of whether I was assaulted or not.
Help?

That was wrong of your mom's boyfriend to hit you for that.
You should just apologize to your mom to avoid anything else to happen.
If you're going to live with your dad/ not planning to live with your mom anymore, then report it to the police as child abuse.
I stole a few dollars back then and my mom took it really lightly, only telling me off, considering she's quite traditional chinese, bringing children up with the cane.
Anyway, you took the money. Demand that her boyfriend apologise for hitting you after you apologise for taking the money.
EDIT: feel free to skype/ msn if you need a listening ear, I'm all ears.
It's a bad thing you did. I would have stolen at least 50.
If I was in your position I would never apologize, instead I would pepper spray that motherfucker to show him who's the man of the house. Next time he'll think twice before laying his hands on me.
What's the problem? Apologize.Quote:

A boyfriend is not a dad.Quote:

Apologize for hitting someone who just stole money from you? Noway.
And you would be thrown in jail for the underlined.Quote:

I wasn't implying in any way you were 13 years old.Quote:

Basically, I took £3 from him. Which was wrong, and I apologised to him before he actually hit me. Yet they seem to think I have not apologized. It's clear to me my mom favours her boyfriend over me, and I no longer live with her. I don't see why I should apologize tbh, I'm pretty sure assault is worse than taking £3, apologizing and offering to pay it back.
If his mom has a boyfriend it means his dad is gone to another place or divorced.
I mean hitting someone who's the son of your girlfriend? What the fuck?
Hes taking about the boyfriend...
My opinion: Tell your mom that you won't apologize unless her boyfriend apologizes first for hitting you. Other than that, it's just unfair abuse.
Edit: I sort of agree with RastaLulz, but i don't believe in physical abuse being used as a punishment.
Bullshit to those who say it was wrong of the boyfriend. Point blank, you should not steal from anyone regardless of what you stole. It's not yours, therefore you have no right to take anyone else's stuff without permission. If you're going to steal, you should be willing to have to face the consequences, and I'm pretty sure that this was a lesson learned. If not, you most likely wouldn't be asking for advise. IMO, you should say sorry for taking something that wasn't yours, even if you were punished for what you did.
Remember the golden rule:
Do not treat others in ways you would not like to be treated.

Tyler: make it clear you've apologised, demand an apology back. If they're being unreasonable, nothing you can do about it i guess.
Oh, you stole $3 from your mom's boyfriend.
Thanks for correct @Surface.
If you stole it from your mom's boyfriend and he hit you, you don't need to apologize.
Maybe he was overreacting about a stolen 3 dollars?
Maybe he hit you, hoping you'd learn a lesson (that's what my parents do .__. )
That's a fair point Josh, but I'm still going to stand my ground and say it was wrong that I was assaulted for taking money. I've said I'm not apologizing to them unless they apologize to me, but they just refused point blank.
I'd have dealt with it if it was my mother that assaulted me, but considering he's not even blood related gives him no right to even touch me, nevermind assault.

As Rasta has quite rightly pointed out here, it seems to be a lesson learnt, there is nothing more sickening than how in recent years with growing liberal views in the family home and laxing laws it is now considered wrong to hit your children regardless of the law, and IMO that is why we have such irritable whiney kids, IRL, on the television, and everywhere else.
I'm not condoning beating about children, parents have different ways of dealing things. It can be broken down quite simply.
1.You were wrong for thieving.
2. He MAY have dealt with the situation wrong, but we don't hear what he has to say unfortunately ( I would love to)
3. So from what we can see, that is two wrongs, 2 apologies, job done. If that doesn't work out....who ya gonna call? Childline.
I almost called the police aswell as Childline, but my mother stopped me. I could've ruined his life If I did so.
