Unfit mother pawning off responsibility on her 14 year old daughter

Well, my mother smokes pot, and is constantly high, and my dad does nothing about it, my dad is never home, and my mom just lays in her bed, smoking pot, and I am forced to watch 2 kids, cook and clean, and I am only 14, I don’t want to be in this home anymore, I don’t want to be in this environment, I don’t want to grow up to be like her, I want to be important in this world, but I don’t want to leave my younger siblings… What should I do?

Answer #1

Well, you’re not old enough to move and take two kids with you at 14. Sit down and have a heart to heart with your dad…if that gets you nowhere, then I suggest you talk to a counsellor at school, and explain the situation…

Answer #2

Move to another place and take them with you. Cause little kids, and a mother with pot is not a good mix. You should stay with another realative near by. And as for your dad, since he dosen’t really care about what your mom does then you shou;d’nt worry about him.

Answer #3

do you have other relatives? ask them for help, and if nothing ask for it from a social worker.
