Ditch the Label Staff Daisie Posted May 11, 2022 Ditch the Label Staff Share Posted May 11, 2022 Hey @PaisWelcome to the Community. I am Daisie a Community Warden here on the Forums, I just read your post and wondered whether you’d feel it’s beneficial to have a chat with one of our Trained Mentors. I will tag them in so you know who they are and so they can reach out to you. @Monsoon & @Blondie Look forward to seeing you around the Community!

Hey Pais, I'm Blondie, one of the support mentors. Thanks so much for sharing with us! The main thing to consider is your safety and security - how do you think that your parents will react? I really wish that this was not necessary but if there is a risk to you being thrown out of home we would always advise waiting until you are able to leave home independently. If you think that this won't be an issue it can be really helpful to have a trusted relative or family friend with you when you speak to your parents.

I think it will be a problem, as I think my dad will accept me but think im confused (separate house) but my mom and my step dad are who i worry about my mom will probably make me go to church or something to "cleanse me" but my step dad is the worst and if i get thrown out of that house i wont be able to see my mom or my dog. but if i get thrown out i can always go to my dads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise that aged 12, this is a long wait but do you think you can wait for a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
