Hello I'm new here
My real mom was a drug addict and she didn't know who my dad was. When I was born they took me away and I got adopted by my mom and dad that was super good to me. 2 years ago they were both killed in a bad car wreck. My grandparents said they're to old to raise me so since dad was an only child and mom had a brother I went to live with my uncle. I don't like it here. It's been 2 years and things are getting creepy. Just like to go home but I can't.

Perhaps you can call USA: Childhelp (Child Abuse): 1-800-4ACHILD (4453), that is 1.800.422.4453, to report any child abuse and request for protection. Ask whoever at the helpline to intervene to protect you.
It's not abuse I don't think.
What has happened?
That's terrible girl. I lost my daddy but my mama is still alive. I don't see her much because of work and all but I can't imagine not having family around. At least your uncle stepped up and took the responsibility of raising you. I'm sure he's doing the best he can. Is he married? Does he have kids for you to hang with?
He's actually divorced. They divorced just before my parents died. He has no kids so it's just the 2 of us. It's ok. He helps me with homework and he takes me places. Everything seems to be normal but there's some things idk is normal so I'm like whatever.
What doesn't seem normal? What questions do you have?
I'm really sorry about the loss of your mom and dad. I'd imagine it's been difficult adjusting to life with your uncle. How often do you get to see your grandparents? Are they your mom's parents or dad's parents?
I'm glad that your uncle has been there for you when it comes to homework and taking you places. However, it sounds like you're really uncomfortable about other aspects of your life with him. If you'd ever like to share your questions or concerns with us, we're all here for you!
Do you have a female relative you can stay with? How old are you? If you think somethings are abnormal, then go with your instincts and ring Childhelp (Child Abuse): 1-800-4ACHILD (4453), that is 1.800.422.4453, for their opinion and advice. It is better safe and sorry, otherwise it may be too late.
Thank you for the information. No I don't have any female relatives other than my grandma's.
If something is bad then I will go to foster care and I don't want that. It was bad enough the first time.
Can you stay with Grandma? It's better for a young girl to grow up with Grandma than with a man, no matter if that man is related to you.
For a short time I could.they can't raise me. For long term it's my uncle or forster home.
Have you nearly finished school to go to college? Have you reached the legal age to move out of home?
No
