My family lives in a house that is literally falling down... My father was never really a fathering type... My mom raised my sister and, luckily my sis got a scholarship to Stanford... I'm 14 stuck at home. With my mom, my father left to live at his (recently deceased mother's) house a few years back.. (She didn't leave us any money) and my dad's the only income we have, but he spends the money before we can pay bills. So we live on credit cards, and mother's and my lives suck. I accept that my mom get violent toward me when she's drunk, cause that's life. Oh and by the way my mom doesn't seem to like me anymore, and I have to be in the same house as her all the time cause I go to online school. fml..... So were poor but can't get government help because my father get s just enough money do we don't qualify for help... And he takes the money before it gets to the bank....... He won't give us the money to get a used car , the one that even runs we have runs like shit. And, he won't even give us money to fix it. I now he has the money, he gets a yearly bonus, from work, (which he doesn't deposit) and, he sold an old Jeep he had, and got a nice new truck for himself. Did I mention, he's in another city?... My mom's amazing considering she maniges to get the bills paid and radius two kids. Even if she does hate me and happens to take her anger out on me.

I'
I just don't feel like I can hang in here much longer. Help? I don't know what to do.:confused::(


Wow after read ing what I wrote here, it's easier to see that my father really is a bastard.

I'm so sorry to hear this! There's not much I can think of to say that could help:( I think you should report him to someone at school.

It's amazing how parent, the ones who are supposed to love you, really great you. Your in a really bad place, unfortunate there's not much houngan do about that right now. Except stay focused on school and get a scholarship like sis and get out, break that chain.....

If you guys like I be USA, there are good laws where the state will step in and take the cash from your day's paycheck, and give it to your mom, directly, but mom will need to initiate that. And they will go back I time from when he left to. He'll have to pay back for all the time he didn't give any cash

I don't know, my life is like shot right now, and posting this made me feel a look better. Also, if there is another person out there in the same situation as me, if the read this they know there not alone. We'll got out of this hole somehow. Anyway thanks for reading.

I don't know if anyone's in the same situation as you, maybe simiar, cause every situation is different. That said, yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of people who are or have been in situation that they'd understand where your coming from. Myself included. May not be the same as yours, because I have a different family obviously. But in the end, regardless, when your down on your luck, having someone to talk to, definatly helps.

So don't stop fighting your way out, cause if you do, it'll never change....

Well I hope that you can still keep your head up and fight through the bad times. It sounds like you are doing the best you can. I feel for you and hope things work out.

This probably won't help, but if I was in your situation, I'd march straight to your dad's house and chew him out. Tell him about his responsibility as a dad, how his children and wife are living in poverty all because he's a selfish fuckhead. It might be the kick in the pants he needs. I realize this has basically a 5% chance of working, so you might as well not do it anyway.

There are multiple options for you. First, if you are being abused, go straight to DSS, Department of Social Services. Inform them of your living conditions, and the abuse. Now from here, you will have a couple of options. The first being, living with a family member suitable, for example, an Aunt, or something. If that can't happen you either go to foster care, or you can ask for a Guardian Ad Litem. This is a lawyer/counselor for kids that are underage, and you can ask to be Emancipated. That would give you the full rights of an 18 year old, at the age of, well.. Whatever age you are. The better your grades, and the more confident you are, the more likely you are to be accepted for that. To be completely safe, ask for a Guardian Ad Litem to start out with after contacting DSS. My father used to rape, and abuse me while my mother was at work, then he tried to kill us all by running us off a road, then trying to beat my mothers head in. I am telling you from a similar standpoint, on how to do it, because no one told us. I got Emancipated, took custody of my little sister, and raised the both of us myself. The only thing I hate, on this planet, is rape and abuse. I can feel myself shaking out of anger. I am so sorry you had to deal with the pain of abuse.
