Do I leave home or stick it out?

1

My mother and step father never get along with me. I work most of the time but the 1 or 2 days that im home, they always find something to fight with me about. recently, it turned for the worse. I got yelled at and the argument turned into a fight about something that was out of my control. I have 2 younger half siblings. All my life I have never been happy, but I always stuck it out in this house for them. But in that fight, their father said to me, “pack your crap and fkn leave” n added that I cant see my younger siblings if I do. That night I slept over at my Aunts house.

I dont know what to do. I know nothing will work out living here but I dont want to loose my siblings. I lose both ways. Im at a point where I dont want to stay but its very hard to leave. I not only have all this, but also a controlling mother who has controlled me all my life. What do I do.

This is a very not good situation :( I am terribly sorry you have to be in it. Whether you stay or not depends on you. Do you have a place you can go (I know you mentioned your aunt, would she be willing to take you in?) If you feel threatened by them physically, then definitely get out and if you think your siblings might be in danger as well, then further action will be needed. But from what I can tell, this just yelling, still not fun though. If I were in your position, I would stick it out, maybe try to explain how you feel to your parents, and if they do not listen try, to find an adult mediator or professional counselor. I honestly do not think leaving will improve your relationship with your parents, so try to work it out. But if you really feel you need to leave, then do it. Good luck, I really hope you find peace in this situation.

It all comes down to if you leave, where would you go? My boyfriend always had issues with his family. His mother would fight with him physically and mentally. So would his younger sister and brother. And one time in a fight his mother actually yelled at him and told him to get out. He did move out, but only because I offered him a place to stay. He also had his brother's place as a back up.The best thing to do is make sure you have a place to go and if you do? Go for it.
