What would you do?

Question

Okay. Both my parents drink, gamble, and they like to party....ALOT. I go to school, babysit, work, and give them money. But the thing is that they happen to be my stepparents. My real mom is dead and my real dad lives in a different town. My bestfriend's family wants me to move in with them, but my real dad wants me to live with him. But the thing is my step parents won't let me move out and I have a scholar ship here. So I could always go to the cops and move in with my best friend. But here is the other thing I have a lot of brothers and sisters two of which I raised. I love them dearly. So right now things are rough. My stepparents owe me like three hundred dollars, and they keep borrowing. My grades are low. And at times I don't want to do any thing but cry. So if you have any ideas as of what you would do in my situation please let me know. Oh and remember they drink alot. When they are drunk it gets really bad. But yeah thats all I can type right now I think one is coming Thanks

Answer 1

You sound like you have a lot of trouble on your hands...if I were you I would follow my heart but you may need a better answer than that so this is what I say to you. Forget about the money your step parents owe you, If you tjink you can get your grades back up to keep your scholarship then move in with your friend if it is better then your living arrangments now. If your step parents won't let you go GET the cops involved & they find out how bad the invironment is. If you want to live with your Dad then do it because you really don't need a scholarship to go to college there are plenty of colleges out there that will let you study at home in your own time just remember that your Dad moves constantly...So really the decision is up to you, there is nobody out there who can give you the right answer so thats why I say follow your heart & go with what will make you happy!!!

Answer 2

This is easy. You are an adult. You should move in with your friend, or move so far away and start a new life. Really look at how you are living. Think about this, do you want to live like this for the rest of your life? Five years from now do you want to be living in these kind of conditions? I think the answer to both is "no" .You sound like a sweet girl. For your sake move away and you will be so much happier. Forget about the three hundred dollars they owe you. Treat it as a life experience and move on with your life.

Answer 3

I think you should leave your step-parents and go live with your real father.I think he really needs you more than them.If you continue to live with them your life will become miserable,you won't be free to enjoy your life.You must decide well before taking any move and do it fast and stop being tortured like that.You may also contact organisations against child abuse if they could help you in any way.Well don't lose hope and be courageous.There's light at the end of this tunnel..;-)

Answer 4

Write them a letter and give it to them when they are sober...or not so drunk. You should move out of your stepparents house and move to the person that's closest to where you are now. That way, you can go to school and still be by your siblings.

Answer 5

I would definitely suggest going to the cops. Thats way too much for someone to handle. The cops will take it all out of your hands and don't worry about your siblings. Wherever they go, it will be the best place for them and you. Stay positive! I hope things get better for you.

Answer 6

Go somewhere safe. Report them. Right now your only concern should be your safety and the safety of your siblings. This situation is obviously too unbearable, get out as soon as you can sweetheart.
