I am a nurse. I like books. I like the Rolling Stones. I am a mother. I have more than 1 son.
My sister is in a cult. my dad is a communist. I like to make jokes.
Any update on the situation with your sister? We have been doing everything in our power to help get her out of this cult, but nothing is working!  Dad isn't any help at all, I just don't know what to do! Nothing works right away with that kind of that sadly. Make sure to take care of yourself. Maybe see a therapist. It's a lot to deal with. It really has dragged down the family, I wish I had parents like you and Dave. I have been thinking about counseling but, you know dad, he would have a complete melt down! Oh, are you still school aged? You could talk to your school counselor during school hours. No, I am not in school, it is no wonder why I haven't fallen into all this craziness, but I think I have a good head on my shoulders. How are your son's doing? You could get counseling without telling your dad then. If you're an adult you don't need his permission. My sons are doing well. Never enough time for their mother! But that's how it goes. I wouldn't know anything about that, my parents don't have time for me! My dad doesn't let me get out much, so I doubt I could do it without him finding out. Maybe you should look into somewhere that could help you with housing. Maybe a transitional shelter. Sounds like a bad situation. It is a very bad situation, one more year and I'll be 18... When that happens, I won't be able to run far enough from this place!  The housing idea is something I will check into, any help I can get to get out of here would be greatly appreciated, thanks for all your help! You're so understanding! I am a nurse after all. Good luck in the next year. Always look for all the help you can get. It's there for a reason. Your boys are so lucky to have you! So many kids take for granted the love their parents have for them!  I will try to do some research for help but it's easy doing anything around here with my dad!
