Stepdad

[AnnaAberrant]

Hi guys. This is my first time on this site and posting in these forums so bear with me.
Recently my family has been going through a lot of issues.
For several months, maybe years, I have been sexually abused and so has my twin sister (15yrs old). My girlfriend encouraged me to tell my mom and I did and then my sister came out as well. Our stepdad has since removed himself from the house but still claims he didn't do anything. We have a younger brother who is his and my mom's son (so technically, our half-brother) which means our stepdad can't be pushed out of our lives completely.
But because he most likely won't be living with us, we're in finical problems. My sister is trying to get and job and my mom is doing what she can. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to help get money for my family? I'm 15, with no experience. We really need the help.

(If anything about this post is confusing, I'm sorry. I didn't want to spend a lot of time writing and explaining because I don't want to start thinking about it too much.)

Go immediately to the police and an attorney for starters. There are many great sexual assault advocacy groups. Im sure you can easily find one in your area. They will help you and your family take the right legal action and will provide you with a legal advocate. This is the best way to handle this. Don't keep quiet and don't let him hurt you financially.

Are there any small shops near you that you could look at for work.

There are quite a few jobs you can get at 15.

Like twin said, look for smaller businesses to work like a thrift store or a bouquet shop. You can look for babysitting jobs. Look for businesses that are family owned or very similar and not big businesses like WalMart where you have to be 16. I wish you the best.

Sorry to hear about that. Finding a job is tough at a young age but not impossible you can always mow lawns and simple yard work also maybe a little handyman work around the neighborhood.

First I am really sorry this happened to you and your twin sister. Your Step Dad to be reported to the police. If your Mom is against you or your sister doing this I would go behind her back and still contact the police about this. I usually would never go behind my moms back, but there are a few things I would do it and this would be one of those situations. As for getting work you could take babysitting jobs and that would help.
