i'm sorry that you've found yourself in this situation. what a mess for a young man of 14 to try to deal with. go easier upon yourself. you can't be the man of the family all of the time. take some time for yourself.

your school counselor failed you and i hope you can find someone else IRL to talk to. feel free to PM me if you'd like to talk more.

do you have one particular teacher that you trust and could talk to at school? or an uncle/aunt/relative? best friend?

remember this, you aren't responsible for this mix-up and you may not be able to fix it. please don't take on all of the responsibility for the whole family.

how old are your sisters? i know how it feels to be a teen in a dysfunctional household. i understand how hard it is to try to keep things together..........keep me updated. xoxoxo pat
