i am 16 and live with my mom and three sister in northern nevada. my mom has a drug problem from popping pills from a back injury 10 years ago and because of how the pills make her feel i am raising my sisters. she does work but when she gets home she sleeps. I have to make sure that the younger ones eat and make sure the bills get paid. i also clean the house and get everyone up for school. i have laundry to do and have to make sure that her is done first or i am in trouble. i do not have a job because of what i have to do at home put do have a family willing to help me get a job and a place to stay. i have had thoughts of running away but do not want sister to worry. i can not live with my dad because he makes me feel like crap because mom needs me. but i am afarid that if i do not leave i will hurt her. what can i do to get my life back. i want to finish school but she is making it hard. i really want to live with this other family i feel it will be better for myself. what can be done
