Mum’s boyfriend Sam is unbearable. He’s an awful person, and I can tell he hates me, but it’s not that: he mistreats my mum really badly. He is emotionally abusive and is horrible, and when we’re out with other people he acts all nice but as soon as we get home he is absolutely horrible. I hate living in my own house because of him. I feel so miserable all the time and I don’t feel comfortable in my own house. The last time mum said Sam had to move out, he said if we wanted to get away from him, we had to move out, and mum bought the house so he has no right to it but he just won’t go. But it’s hard because even after stuff like this they still are together now. I feel like I can’t live here anymore but I don’t have anywhere else to go. I keep thinking of what to say to mum, but if I do get her alone (which is very rarely) I can’t pluck up the courage to say anything.
