I really didn't want to post this here, but when I saw that people were actually helpful in Dale's thread, I decided I would. If you think I'm here for pity, I'm not, I just really need some other opinions.
mkay... my parents were never married. I've always lived with my mother. When I was about 3, my mom married my step-father. Since that time, I've been forced to call him dad, keep in mind that I do know and have contact with my real father. Fast forward -- 10 years later... my mother and step-father got on drugs, what exactly, I don't know, I think a mix of pretty much everything. Last December, my mom overdosed, but the ambulance got there in time to give her the medicine to flush her system of the drugs. She got out of the hospital and was fine, living back home with her parents/my grandparents and off of drugs, but they lost the house and pretty much everything else. Child protection got involved since there was drug abuse in the case. Later, they got they moved out. During this time, my brothers and I have been in and out of living with grandparents, cousins, parents, aunts & uncles. In the meantime, my stepdad lost his job and they got back on drugs, which honestly I don't know if my stepdad ever stopped. They eventually started renting a home, but never pay the bills. The 6 months that they've been living there, the phones/internet has been disconnected, the power has been disconnected twice, meaning it was at least 3 months behind, and the water has been disconnected once, also being about 2-3 months behind. Niether of them work or get any kind of child support or welfare. My stepdad "moves out" at least once every month or two for 2 days to 3 weeks & stays in some crackhouse. Everytime, my mom lets him come back. I'm sick and tired of both of their crap; him leaving anytime he doesn't have his way and her letting him do it, and most of all her letting him come back after he pitches one of his fits. What I want to know is, if you were in this situation, would you tell your mom that you're sick of it and move in with your grandparents, which is what I want to do, or keep putting up with their childish crap? I'm 15, by the way.
P.S. Anyone who read that, thanks and I'm open to any suggestions.
