Thanks, Katana.
I knew what it was like growing up like that, too. I grew up in the poorest neighborhood in Bristol, and my real father blew all of our money on drugs and shit. Eventually, he left, my mom was never home because she worked three jobs, and all we had in the house was off-brand cheerios, ketchup, butter, bread and spaghetti noodles. But, we survived, she found my stepdad (who cheated on her multiple times, but so did my biological father), we moved to Bensalem, and eventually got a nice house. Now hes just being an asshole..well, bigger than usual. |

**shrugs** Valhalla is right. You're already ahead.
I don't think there's any advice I could give that would be sensitive to the topic, or make you feel good at all. I didn't realize that having a two parent house hold was normal, until I got to high school. For people who say sociology isn't a real science, I bite my thumb at them. My parents broke up the moment my mom found out she was pregnant with me. So my life was filled with older step-sisters from the man my mother ended up with (who is pretty freaking wonderful, lucky for me.) and several younger sisters through my dad, because having me at 16 didn't phase him, so he had to try again when he was 17, 19, and then somehow, found a woman dumb enough to have two more of his children when I was 13 and 14. I grew up in a struggling lower-middleclass family in a bad neighborhood in the city. If a kid still had two happily married parents, they were the outcasts of the block. So while people would sneer at my situation growing up, I didn't know any better, so it really, truly, didn't bother me. We can talk, if things really bother you. I know it's not okay, what you're going through, but sometimes things can be made into livable situations in which you can put yourself in so you can in turn, move on and better yourself.  |

You know, you're already a step ahead of most people because you don't take him saying that it's your guys' fault to heart. Try to see how your sisters are taking this, be a good role model for them if you can! |

Well, the evil parents of Phoenix strike again; and this time they bear divorce papers..
Pretty much self-explanatory. Theyre always fighting. My dad is an asshole and is probably cheating on her, again. Hes acting all weird again, and never comes home anymore. He flat out said he doesnt want to be home because of us (my two sisters, me and my mom. He's my step dad, btw). And i'm not in anyway defending my mother because she is as much a bitch as he is an asshole, but still. Ugh. Fucking kill me. Idk why im posting this. Maybe i'm expecting some miracle advice? Someone to tell me that its alright? But I know its not, and there is no advice besides wait it out. I don't know.. |
