Is it too late for me to be adopted? or go to a foster family?
Call the Children's Aid numbers I gave you if you want. No, it's never "too late" to be adopted or go into foster care. But they DO kick you out at 18, and you might not be in a family - I've had friends in foster care, and it's really hard. It's also not fun. Usually, I think they try to convince your family to shape up, and then sometimes try to convince other family members to take you in. But I'm not sure. Call the numbers up and talk to them.

LIke earlier today, i had to help my dad retag some of the cows ears on my farm where i live and my dad gets mad and angry really easily. When some of the cows wouldn't co-operate he would kick them really hard, hit them, and twist their tails. so i was by the cattle squeeze where they had to go into. i was yelling at him to stop hurting them unnecessarily. I had tears streaming down my cheeks. He came up to me and started yelling at me. He was really close to me. I started crying more and backing up away from him. My mom, my sister and my step brother were all there. and they did nothing, nothing at all. I need to get out of here. if i stay here longer, i'll keep cutting.. more and more. and i'll keep getting neglected and yelled at. i'll keep getting treated like this.
Please
I never liked cow branding/marking season. (I'm a country girl. Yeah, I lived on a farm too!) Poor cows. I'm sorry about your dad. Perhaps talking to your friends mom yourself, she'd be more willing to help?

Would going to the ER really work?
Yes, going to the ER would really work. At the very least, it would get the authorities involved (likely) and you'd probably get some more help.



Here for you.
