Ok heres my story. I am 17 and have been having problems with my mother and her husband (my stepdad). He can be very hurtful and so can my mother. In the past my mother has what people would say verbally abusing me. calling me horrible names saying im not good enough and how she should never have had. On the other had my step-father can be abusive. He's pushed my down our stairs before hit me has hit my mother, throws things at people, he has a very bad temper. I have two jobs and am looking for a third. i have a car and i have my own insurence that i am paying. My real father said he'll help me out if i end up in a jam but i he thinks it will be best for me to be on my own. I am also leaving for the military next summer after i get my diploma. Does anyone have any suggestions of what i could do?
