Hug
i live in australia.. there is not much i can do.. when you hit 16.. you are legally not a warden of the state, and there is nothing they can do for your care. a womens shelter is not accesable by people under that age of 18.. its disgusting the way the system works, and i am not finacially and emotionally stable tomove ou by myself. i have tried to talk to some of my family about it.. but they dont believe that she would inflict pain on her own children, obviously because of the crap that happened with my father.. ist nto her fault.. and she knows its not.. its just she is power hungry.. it feels liek teer is no end to this.. :( thankyou for your help.. you have given me more strength..:) x.x.x.x alexandria
