ever since my oldest brother passed away things in my family haven't been the same. my dad is an alcoholic who doesn't care about anything and in the past laid hands on me. my mom is just a whole another story, she's not right in the head. My father and her got divorced and my mom left us with our dad. and of course he was always sleeping or at the bar which left my brother and i on the streets when we were 10 and 12. whenever things would get bad and my dad would threated to kill us when he was drunk we would call our mom for help but she always said that she had to take care of herself. After a year of roaming the streets my mom told us that she was coming to move our stuff so that we could live with her. We moved and everyting was good money wise but the mental and emotional abuse caught up really fast. I was sucidal and have many scars. My mom always use to tell me i was a worthless piece of shit, slut , whore and when we would get in fights they wouldn't be little ones they would end up with someone on the ground bleeding. the whole time living with her i was probably home 3 months out of a year. After all the bullshit i decided to pack my shit and leave. The only place i could go was back to my dads and while living their, there wasn't any rules and that is where it got worse. I met a guy who lived with me for a couple weeks but he was a really big dope addict and of course i fell into doing dope but then when he left i decided to ask my mom for help and she gave me the help but the only way i could get it was if i moved back in with her i really didn't want to then but i wanted to be sober so i did. we just recently moved into a nice area with her boyfriend, i have a lot of oppertunities living there but im not treated like a person i am treated like i am lower then everyone else and if shit is not done the way they like it then i bitched at for days. I just can't put up with the mental and emotion abuse anymore. I have been looking for apartments, i have a job and 4000 in savings all i need is emancipation.
