I am not sure if this is a triggering question but if it is please mark it as. I live with my family I do not own or rent it. We have a problem with flies and bed bugs. The bed bugs are so bad I can not sleep at night. I have asked about an exterminator and all I am told is can't afford it. I do not have te money to rent a place or go to a hotel. What can I do about this? Is this Abuse?

I would say that it isn't abuse. Can you contact the health department?

Do your parents own the house or do they rent? If they're going to hire an exterminator, make sure you get a few estimates and a guarantee. You'll also have to throw out all the mattresses and wash all bedding in hot water. Don't get new ones until you're sure they're gone. Basically take all clothing from each room and wash, then put in plastic sealed bags until the bugs are gone. I hope this gets resolved soon.
