How do I get my mom to leave my step dad because he's mean to her?

My step dad is a complete asshole to my mother. He verbally abuses her and is cruel to her. Everybody in my family even my friends and their parents say my mom deserves so much better how do I convince her to get away w/o her worrying about having nothing to own or enough money to pay for an apartment and to support me?

Okay, firstly, tell your mom! get her to sit down, and talk to her! tell her it’s really important. tell her you can even get a part time job (do you have one?) and it’ll be a great experience, plus you’ll both be happier. be straighforward. don’t try to be considerate towards the guy, ‘cause he’s obviously a jerk. just start talking, don’t lie, and show your mom how you feel. team up with the rest of your family!

Answer #2

I dont mean to be harsh, but unless you inherit a million dollars, she is going to have to worry about having money to live. That is part of life. Unfortunately, women will stay with men in order to provide their children with a home. You cannot convince her that she is not going to have to worry about you. That just isnt true, and you cannot convince her of a lie. What you can talk to her about, is that she can make it. There are plenty of single women out there, and they’ve left abusive homes, and they have survived. Their kids have survived. She needs to believe she is capable of taking care of herself. Unfortunately, a lot of women who are being abused lose their self esteem. They lose their ability to trust in themselves.

Answer #3

She is in a financial stranglehold position, try and help her find work!
