I have to leave.

[Guest]

I’m 12 years old (f). I'm in a relationship with a 16 year old (m). I hate him. He isn't abusive. He keeps texting me that he wants to make out with me and I think he wants sex. I don’t know how to break up with him and he knows where I live and is friends with my brother so I'll never be able to really get rid of him...but that's just the tip of the iceberg. I live with 10 people, 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a pig. My dad is in and out of hospitals and prisons. My mom legally shouldn’t even be driving her car and my dad is under house arrest. My mom tells me how much I make her cry and how I’m "toxic". I take my anger out on everyone because I have so many issues. My house is falling apart. The ceiling is collapsing because we are too poor to afford a plumber. Our only option is my dad and he can barely walk. We are in poverty and rely on the food bank. I have dealt with depression, anxiety, anorexia, self-harm, etc. It would be best for everyone if I just left. We have rats and ants infesting our house and I just can’t live here anymore. My dad literally said I can move out. We only have 2 people working in this house. I have been wanting to leave for 10 months now! My mom and dad call me a ********** and a whore. I have a bike so I can drive away from home. I can also steal whatever money my mom has. I just can’t deal with my life for any longer. It is too much for me to deal with. PLEASE write back ASAP. I plan to leave within the next week.
