Ok well a few nights ago we had family over and some friends as well. My stepdad is always rude to them, he puts them down or just ignores them completely.. Well the other night things got out of hand, first off he was giving my 5 yearold little sister alcohol while she was on vikadin for her fractured foot.. later on the night it kept getting worse, and near about midnight he got so pissed off and was about an inch away from beating all of us up. He was drunk that night, but he acts the same even when he's sober, and that scares me so much, what if one night he completely loses it and gets the gun we have in our house and shoots us.. I am terrified to be around him, I dont feel safe in this house anymore and I dont when i'm at other familys houses because their allowing my stepdad to be on the property, and I'm scared to be anywhere near him... I dont know what I should do, and I cant move out legally yet because I'm only 16, and i'm kinda afraid to get a teachers advice from my school cause police can end up being involved and things can escale even more... I'm going to move out when I turn 17, but thats 4 months away.. How can I make it through these 4 months until my 17 birthday so I can get out of here?? What should I do??

You really need to talk to someone in authority... school counselor, nurse or teacher... they know how to tap into the system to get you some help. If you won't do it for yourself, at least do it to get your sister out of danger.
Is there a grandparent or aunt you and your sister can go stay with while you complete your schooling? Even if you have to change schools, that would still be okay if it gets you to a safe place where you don't have to worry about being attacked and pummeled by that drunk. By all means, try to finish high school and graduate.
Your dad is a very toxic rage-a-holic drunkard. His presence is dangerous and it is probable that he will not improve. These types don't get help until something so extreme happens that he has to wake up. I just hope that doesn't include your sister getting hurt.
Mixing vicodin and alcohol can be deadly, and your dad showed his contempt for the 5 year-old when he pulled that one.

You should call the police because not only are you in danger but so is everyone around you and that is in that house
you have a sister as well as yourself to look out for CALL the police or go and speak to a school counselor

Your stepdad should not be giving alcohol to a little kid, that is child abuse, and should not be abusing any of you.
When he is drunk, call the cops, they are trained for handling that kind of stuff. They could either haul him off to jail or take you to a safe house.
There are places for people to go to when they are getting abused. Places where the abuser can't find you.
You can get out now, go to the police before it is too late.

Get help from somewhere soon. You may be able to move out in a few months but you will be leaving your little sister there alone. You and her both need out of there quickly

i really think u should call the cops and tell them your situation. even though u probably dont want to, u should. because u could get hurt or your sister could and that definitely wouldnt be good.

honey, its emotional abuse and if he hits your family he is guilty of domestic abuse. he is trying to isolate your mom from her family, you need to call a teen hot line, you need plans for when you leave home i left home at 17 and it was ruff until i went to some sort of tech news.
