I’ve been crying for the past two hours. Why can’t I stop crying? 🙁 I want to just stop it all. I feel so depressed over drug abuse from my dad. Earlier my dad was high on drugs and he threatened to throw my eleven year old brother out on the streets. Later, I shouted at my dad because he said he was going to throw me out too. I shouted at him, telling him he was nuts. Dad said he’d rather be homeless than live with me and my brother. Now I’m scared. I’m seriously thinking about telling the fucking police because I can’t deal with dad’s bullshit anymore…

If there is one thing I know it’s how frightening it is to have abusive parents. I know that regardless of how bad it is, staying there seems more secure than possibly being stuck with strangers or a group home. But please don’t let that fool you. Find the number for Family Services and make the call unless you have a known safe place you and your brother can go to. Whatever you do don’t hold back if you need help, and it sounds like you need it.
I’ve already called the police and they said I was going to foster care. I had stayed in one before and now I’m in the same one I was at.
I grew up in a family kinda like that… and to be honest, I always feared the unknown and stuck with what I knew. Looking back on it now, had I gotten the authorities involved I may have had a much better life… not only me but my younger siblings. My best advice to you would be don’t fear what you don’t know and take the chance to make your life better for you and for your brother. May I ask how old you are?
Yes, I’m actually only twelve years old, and the police have already put me in a foster home. It’s actually kind of nice here…
