Help?
My family is… sorta twisted…
So, my parents are divorced, they have been since I was 8, 1998, but we’re going to be talking about my mom’s side and the people who live in my mom’s house. My mom remarried to this guy, let’s call him *Timmy, who I’ve had a bad feeling about since I met him, but they’ve been dating since my parents split up. (Coincidence? I think not…) Anyways, he has 2 daughters, both from different mothers. One of them, *Kary, 16, lives with her mom, so we don’t see her that often, but the other one, *Haley, 12, lives with us.
Oh, by the way, I have a brother, *Charlie, 12, and I’m 17, and we go back and forth between our mom and dad.
Anyways, the people that live at my mom’s house are my mom, Timmy, Haley, Charlie, me, my mom’s brother *Larry, and our family friend *Jesse. Plus 3 dogs and a cat.
Let’s start with the adults, my mom, Timmy, Larry, and Jesse. They are always getting drunk. Every night. I know that in itself isn’t normal, but there’s more. Oh so much more. My mom and Timmy hate each other. Why are they together if they hate each other? Noone knows. They fight all the time. Remember, they’re drunk all the time, too. But they don’t just get into normal fights, they scream at each other, they threaten to leave each other, they threaten each other in general, sometimes with said weapon in hand, they’ve beaten each other before.
My mom used to be really violent, until we finally called the cops on her, so she stopped. She used to beat Timmy up all the time. One time, when I had my softball team over for a sleepover, she stabbed Timmy in the shoulder with some pliers or something. I don’t know why we didn’t call the cops. Eventually, my mom and Timmy stopped drinking, and everything was good for a while, but then they started drinking again. Timmy’s cheated on my mom, at least once, if not more, he punched her in the face once, apparently he ran my mom over (yes literally ran her over, but she didn’t need to go to the hospital; she’s ok.) but I wasn’t there. Things are getting so bad, about as bad as they were before. I’m afraid, just like before, that one of them is going to end up killing the other. A lot of the drinking and fighting is because we don’t have enough money for anything, but a lot of the drinking and fighting is because of Haley, too.
Haley… is a different story. She’s a girl that backtalks all the time, is rude, has no consideration for anyone else, cries like there is no tomorrow (even when there’s no reason to cry) for attention and to try to get what she wants, she doesn’t listen to ANYone, etc. I fight with her all the time. Scratch that. I USED to fight with her all the time. Now, when I know a fight is coming on, I just walk away.
I’m tired of fighting. I’m tired of trying to stop the fighting. What should I do?
