Here’s my story…
My parents decided to get a divorce in November partly because my mom decided she was gay. I don’t like the person she was with because she’s exactly like my dad was to her-controlling. My dad has problems with being too attached and controlling and abusive-verbally. The other night, after I hadn’t talked to him for a week, he texted me and told me he was going to kill everyone I loved. I explored the option of getting a restraining order against him, but I’m just afraid that it would only make things worse. My mom doesn’t have a job anymore, and lied about it for a month. She’s addicted to drugs, and it seems like she just doesn’t care about me. My aunt wants me to move out to Indiana with her so I can get away from the situation here, that only seems like it’s going to get worse. Honestly, I’m afraid of what’s going to happen when I tell my parents if I decide that I want to move.
I’m in college, and I also need to decide if I should take a semester (or a year) off to work and get settled in, or If I should just keep going back to school.
