is it odd that i rather be living with my dad right now.i mean i live in a beautiful house.family is good..but when we fight..its beyond bad..
but at my dads i know i will have more freedom.better job.(better pay)
and since i will be in pittsburgh and i will be going to art school there it would be a good opportunity to get my name out there early.and i want to help my baby sister because my dad is bipolar.hes abusive.and her mom is doing drugs and drinking so much i wonder if she knows she has a kid.
and i want to be there for her.i dont want her to have the same memories i had.
she is too young to protect herself.
but im not.and ive shown that to him.
so many reasons to go..but so many reasons to stay

If you think you can help without hurting yourself, then go where you are needed. Being helpful to another is helpful in recovery, i think. Makes you feel needed. But don't over do it, look at pros and con and which would be better for YOU? in the end that's what matters. you have to be ok to help others.
