Input: i’m 18, and i’m considering moving in with my father.

i’ve always had a hard life at home, but things went to shit when i was around 16. my mom became abusive and neglectful. she left the family for months to be with her boyfriend and became a crackhead. during that time, i was the head of the household and had to care for my little brother and grandmother, who was also verbally abusive. 

in her absence, i struggled to juggle my schoolwork and act as my brother’s new mom. my grandmother has always been a hoarder, and the house had become overrun with filth that i couldn’t clean by myself. we had bed bugs and severe financial issues, which were brought to the attention of cps. i spent hours clearing out the house so that my brother would be allowed home again, but also because we were in the process of being evicted and our belongings had to be removed anyway. 

it’s about 9 months since we finally moved into a new apartment, and we are being threatened with eviction again because of my grandmother’s hoarding. she takes no responsibility, saying i should clean up the mess for her. she would rather endanger her whole family with the risk of homelessness than take accountability and move out. 

my brother is eleven now. as stupid as it may sound considering our age difference, he physically abuses me. i’m underweight and not very strong. he is about my height and weighs more than me. he hits me almost every day and threatens me with sharp objects. i have to protect both myself and my mother from him. he has nearly pushed her down the stairs. 

i have to break up their fights daily. although my mom has been awful to me, we do love each other, and i fear for her. she has self destructive tendencies and i’m often the one who has to babysit her when she’s drunk or when she threatens to run away or hurt herself. 

i’m miserable. but i fear that if i move out, my brother will hurt himself or my mother, or my mother will end up hurting herself. (my grandmother is also extremely controlling and hardly lets me leave the house. i know she shouldn’t have this power over me and my mother, but she has always been this way, and she is the only one in the house with a license, so she exercises more power than she should over us.)

i know they will be able to find a new apartment, should it come to that. i know my grandmother should find a place for herself, or be committed to a retirement home. i know my mother and brother should be in therapy. but, i can’t enact all of that myself. i feel so selfish trying to leave this situation. if something happened to them that i could have prevented, i wouldn’t be able to live with myself. though i want to be able to live with normal parents, and eat enough to put on more weight and take care of myself. 

AITA if i move out while things are the way they are?
