Moving out from home help?

I agree with the previous poster. As long as you have a safe place to go, take that first step. Now. You cannot help your mother or siblings if you are not in good shape yourself. Having a safe place will give you the space to heal, to strengthen, and to think more clearly.

Your mother is in denial. It may take an act of courage on your part to wake her up and get her to take a hard look at the situation that she and your siblings are in. In fact, if she protests about you leaving, tell her that. Tell her the difficult truth, "Dad has been physically and emotionally abusive for years and taking it has not made him change. He is not going to change, so I am."

You have a life ahead of you. You are an adult now and as long as you can take care of your financial needs, you do not have to depend on your parents. If you can get out, you may be able to put yourself in a position where you can do your siblings more good than you could ever do by staying there. You could make money and possibly even sue for custody of them.

Once you get settled in your new place, talk to a social worker and an attorney.

Every time you falter, remind yourself that all the waiting you have endured has not helped one bit. Only action is going to make this situation improve.

My heart goes with you.

I was 18 when I moved out. As long as you have a job and a place to go I would leave. It's not a healthy environment for you. I also think that you might need a professional to talk to. There are organizations out there that deal with your type of situation. Good luck.

You need to speak to a counselor or someone of authority. You need to get your siblings out of there if he is hurting them, and your mother, too. If he's not hurting them, leave. You're 18 and legally allowed to move out. Don't ask questions, don't let your mother protest. Leave.
