Hi! i haven't been on here in forever but, I'm having alot of trouble with my family right now. With my dad it was my first day back from a week of soccer camp and my mom picked me up and we went to my grandmothers(we live there now because my moms house's roof is destroyed now from a tornado but we were okay) and at night my dad came and got me, we go to his house and we got into this fight and whenever i went to go an apoligize he said he was tired of my shit and to go to my moms and call her. So, i did and i told him she was going to pick me up and he said okay and i went into my brothers room to tell him and my dad came in and told me to give him my phone and i asked him what i did and then he took it and i tried getting it back and then he got physical and kept pushing me into my room and he was scaring me and i got out of him pushing me against the wall and started to run to the front door but he caught up to me and pulled my hair so i would get away from the door and he kept hurting me and that night my dad got mad at my brother for some reason and took his phone and x box and he went outside and drove away. my mom came with my cousin and grandmother and i told them the story. It's been two weeks and he hasn't apoligized yet or even remotely cared. I asked for my phone and he said i have to visit him in order to get it. I'm at his house right now and he has been acting like nothing happened and i asked when im getting my phone back and he said this isn't even part of the disscussion right now. With my aunt she acts like she is the boss of everything that breathes around her. Today, I told her I'm spending the night with someone the next night and I can meet up with our church on time because my friend is going the same place. And she said no. I said I might and she kept explaining why I can't go and it was all about me not probably going to get up on time but everyone knows if i set an alarm I'm waking up to it and she still said no. And i said I'm sorry but you can't just say i can't go somewhere unless it's a really bad place to go. And she stil said i couldn't go. I asked my mom and she's totally fine with it. With my brother he doesn't care about what my dad did. It hurts alot and he used to atleast pretend to care but now he doesn't even do that. He said he didn't care and it hurt. With my grandmother she just never cares and I would always say I love you and she would be jokingly say dont say that or gross or ewand i would laugh but sometimes i just want to hear to back. She is so mean to me and my mom whenever were fighting. I'm starting to think there is no one in my family that cares. And sometimes I think that if i was in the hospital they wouldn't come. It just hurts whenever the person you thought was wonderful, a superhero, an amazing dad turns out to be a manipulative narssist. I really wish my brother cared enough for his sister like he cares about our older brother. I thought my aunt was good to but there afre many many different things that show she isn't the amazing christian woman she seems to be. I'm thinking about moving in with one of my friends for a lttle bit but i dont know who would let me. I just need to get out of there. Ever since my dad did that to me I've been sad every single day but around friends I'm the happiest, not with my family though. Sorry it was way longer than i wanted it to be!

I have toys. So the ones I have not used or need any more, are gone in the trash. One of my toys is just a regular hand held massager with an attachment. The other is a real insertable toy. This morning I ordered a new toy with attachments. It is small and has a brush like attachment and the other looks like a rose with a tiny tongue. I'll get it in about 2 weeks. Rechargable and...

I can't believe this has gone on this long. So I don't have much hope of getting a tech job, but I saw an educational job that I thought might be really good. It would have been working at a university supporting high school students who are taking college classes. I did a mock interview with a friend and prepared extensively. It was at the university that I graduated from. I was very excited...


I never got any broken bones though.
"I'm thinking about moving in with one of my friends for a lttle bit but i dont know who would let me."
This is NOT an option. It would be a HUGE mistake. Trust me. If you are in the US, you would likely be considered a runaway and whoever you were staying with, they or THEIR guardian would be arrested. You are a MINOR.
The best advice I can give is seek family counseling ... which may be impossible. Very hard to get everyone in the same boat for that.
"we got into this fight and whenever i went to go an apoligize"
Apologize? So the 'fight' was at least partially your fault?? I recommend you do everything you can to not fight .... with anyone. Until you are an adult, you must follow the rules etc of those in charge of you. If they 'cross the line', then you may have a case for child abuse. Until then, you belong to them.
Comes down to you must find ways to 'get along' with the adults you are associated with. Become a Darling ... not a defiant teen. It will go much better for you if you can do this.
