Hi.... I'm 14 years old and I'm not that happy where I am right now. I have a house, clothes, food, and I am very grateful, but the
way my family has been treating me makes me sad. Years ago, It was my dad, mom, and 3 sisters. My mom cheated on my dad which caused a nasty breakup. They
ended up getting divorced, and then my dad met a new girl on the internet who is now my step mom. I live with my dad and stepmom now full time because my
mother has drinking issues and I cannot see her. Anyways, Now I have to live with them and a step brother and my 3 sisters. My step mom does not treat me or my older sister kindly.
She never talks to us, doesn't give us affection, etc. When we do the dishes and clean she always says we barely do anything. Ever since her and my dad met,
my dad has acted like a completely different person. He doesn't give affection. All he cares about is his college, his wife, his stepson, and his work. He has
time to go to rock concerts with my step mom, but he never has enough time to hang out with his very own children. Sometimes fights break out, and when that happens
not physical abuse happens but emotional abuse does. She calls me a b****, "you have no life, no friends", idiot, stupid. And my dad does NOTHING when that happens.
He just goes along with it. One of my older sisters even left to my grandparents house with my fathers consent because she was sick of it. She is happy now because
my grandparents take good care of her. Also, my little step brother is a pain too. He always follows my little sister, and jumps on her and annoys her. My little sister
is too scared to say stop, because if she does she ends up getting in trouble. Me being the bigger sibling, I tell him to stop. He ends up texting his step mom for
"bullying" and I end up getting trouble by my dad and stepmom. This has ended up to me being not aloud to talk to my little sister. Now my lil sister acts just like
my step brother. It makes me sick. Now all I do is stay in my room to avoid everything. I also have social anxiety, which doesn't help anything one bit. I really
want to move to my grandparents witch my other sister. But whenever I ask my dad he says "absolutely not" and says I shouldn't be with my sister. I've tried talking
to my school counselor about this, and she recommended calling CPS for emotional abuse, etc. But I didn't want a bigger mess, so I said maybe not. She also said maybe not
as well. More fights go on, etc. Such as when my step mom shoved my older sister. I was done with her treating us like this, So I stood up for my sister. I ended up
being told to go downstairs. I still try to contact my counselor but shes never there anymore. I seriously don't know what to do. I feel neglected, and alone. My grandparents
have been trying to convince my dad to let me move there as well. but my dad always says no. I've heard about this thing called emancipation, and the legal age for
colorado is 15. Maybe when I turn 15 I can do that to move to my grandparents, and have a happier, more social life? I'm sick of being stuck in the basement in
my room having to deal with this day by day. Any suggestions?
