Running away will complicate things more, especially if you are a minor. Contact a local DFS (division of family services) or a lawyer who deals with juveniles (if you are under 18 years old). Contact a school counselor or someone like that if you can't get in contact with DFS. Good luck.

Well I am sorry your home life is not that great. You sound kind of young so I am assuming that you have a school counselor of some sort I know Jr and Sr high schools have open door policies you might want to consider talking to someone who is a trusted adult and has resources to provide you with the help you need. Sometimes it just helps to be able to confide in someone who is a good listener. But just know that even though your life right now may seem rough there are horrible things that can befall on young people who are unprotected and living off of the mercy of society. And soon enough you will be able to leave your parents home whether it be through college or work but either way you will be able to do responsibly and safely, and maybe you can learn from your childhood and be able to treat your children better....Good luck!!

Wow, dude, it's bad. It sounds as if you're dad is emotionally abusing you with the inconsistency and unpredictability in mood and response. It is his way of yielding power over situations where he truly has no control. His response is most likely related to some level of deep fear, doubt, and hurt, but since he doesn't know how to fix it (or that there is even a problem), he expresses all of his emotion in anger. It is not a good situation to be in.



But running away? Naw.



It is better to seek services of the local mental health care and community services agencies, who are prepared to assist you and your family through such a tough situation. You say your mom is in a coma.....are there community social workers helping you through this at all?



Request services on an emergency basis.



Let the people in your area know how dire the situation is for you. But stick around to see what happens. RUNNING AWAY HAS A MILLION PROBLEMS ASSOCIATION WITH IT THAT ARE OFTEN WORSE THAN WHAT YOU'RE EXPERIENCING NOW. Seek help in your community. The law enforcement office willl help you, a school office will help you, a church office will help you.



There is help to alter the situation to a place where it will become manageable. Be safe and get busy on this project. It's for you and you are important!

I'm so sorry, I wish I could help. And to be honest with you, I want to run away from home too, I have the same problem you have with your dad only mine is with my mom. But, it seems like your dad is bi-polar or has a split personality.



I would try my best to ignore him... don't run away. If you run away, your mom, if and when she wakes up from the coma, she'll be looking for you. You're going to put her through so much pain if she has to worry about you.



Maybe your dad is acting this way because he's worried about your mom... he's probably sad just as you are. Hold on a bit longer, things can always get worse but they can always get better. And don't leave your half-sister alone either, maybe she needs you too.



I hope things work out for you whichever you decide. Good luck

Don't run away. Here are a few options:

1. Contact a family member. An aunt, uncle, grandparent, cousin, etc. you can stay with them if they say it's okay. Tell them what's wrong and maybe they can take you in for awhile.

2. Talk to an adult you trust. A doctor, teacher, friends parent, police officer, etc. They will lead you in the right direction. They can get you out of your home or take care of your dad.

Try these out. good luck

we all go through tough times in our lives and yours certainly is not easy, is there any way you can bring in a social worker or counselor because that would resolve some issues with your dad, or at least go to school and talk to the social worker or psychologist there. that should be the first place to go.



also running away can be foolish if you have nowhere to go, so definitely think it through, is there a friend you can stay with for the time being or a family member, also is there a way to get there?, also where will you go to school? how will you get around? think it through because the world is big and confusing and the wrong move could wear you down.

sorry to hear of your problems. obviously your dad is under a lot of stress and worry over your mom ? mayb? and if your becomin really unhappy around him right now then couldnt you stay with another relative close friend just for a little while. the break may help calm things down. i can only hope what im sayin helps just a little bit cause i dont think i can relate to this situation. i cant suggest anything that you could do about your half sisters dad, except be there for your half sister bcse it cant b easy for her either.

Running away is not the answer! That will lead to worst problems. I know some of your pain I was abused by a step father. Mental Abuse is Abuse. There are places you can go for help. Your church is one. You can call boys town- 1-800-448-3000 web site boystown.org (they help girls too)

You can also go to teencentral.net click on there hot-line then click on your state and there will be a list of places where you can go. I don't know if your are religious, but I know god carried me through. Pray and ask heavenly father to help you and I know he will. He helped me. Gob bless you. I wish I could help you more.

is there anyone you can stay withgrandparents friend ??? is he a drinker ??? have you tried speaking to youre dad about how you feel and how his actions are affecting you. your dad must obv be really worried about your mum but thats not an excuse, you obv need some support and if your dads not willing to listen and you feel threatened i would try stay with a friend in the meantime or speak with a concellor at youre school. sounds like youre dads really stressed and looking for sumone to take it out on, problem is they seem to take it out on the ones they love. i hope u and ur mum are ok.

Bon Jovi - Runaway BA: Yeah, it variety of feels they could continuously end at my homestead on their way and that i'd communicate them out of it. perhaps that's why they stopped by ability of. I ran away even as i became in severe college. I bumped into my ideal (lady) buddy even as i became basically escaping the draw close of the vice imperative. I desire I hadn't, because she aggravating a lot about me. BA2: I definitely do not recognize. a number of them positioned up it on thier profile

Running away is about the stupidest thing you could do. Where are you going to get money? How will you travel? Where will you work?



Chances are you won't get very far before the police find you and bring you back home. But even if you do, you'll be ruining your life. Run-aways are the type who wind up being drug addicts and prostitutes. Please, use some common sense.
