My Parents....

[sarag]

I'm not sure if this belongs in this section, but oh well. This is just a brief description of how my parents were when I was growing up. I grew up in a terrible house, and its still really bad even though they divorced two years ago.

My Mother...
Since before I was born, she has been addicted to prescription drugs. She has stolen items of both monetary value and sentimental value from our family as well as others. She had also stolen something that can never be replaced...my childhood. The memories of her being high on drugs reminded me that I was the one who had to take care of my younger brother while my father was away at work.

My Father...
My father's role in my life is very different from any other that I have ever seen. Normally, the police would put an end to child abuse at the first report...but we have reported him 3 times and he has gotten away with it all 3 times. The last time we tried to report him was the worst time ever. He had tried to kill me and my older sister. That was especially traumatizing.

Sarag,

I am very concerned for you. Have you tried confiding in a well-trusted teacher at school? I have the impression (judging by your verbal skills and thought processes) that you are highly intelligent. Therefore, I'm guessing you do very well in school and must be highly regarded by many of your teachers. So, I would think that if you confided these things to a teacher, he/she would take you seriously and act as an advocate for you and your siblings to ensure that you are removed once and for all from a perilous environment.

Blessings, my friend!

Kling, I would like to thank you for sharing your opinion. I agree with you about confiding in a teacher, but I have seen what happens to teens who are removed from their home because of abuse. All of my siblings are older than me and have moved out except for my little brother (he is 11). I would confide in one of my teachers, but in all reality, I happen to think that being placed in another home would cause more emotional damage to my brother. He is not harmed in any way, but I know that dealing with the loss of his biological father (not mine, but his) has taken a toll on his emotional well-being. I am far more concerned with him than I am myself.
