WolfSaver, 16

About 3 years ago my mom met a guy and they became boyfriend and girlfriend. The guy turned out to be a jerk and before my mom dumped him she found out she was pregnant. I love my sister but now I’m stuck in a house with her dad and I really hate him. He’s a slob and he’s really fake, let alone he steals our money and food. Everyone we know says to just kick him out of the house but, it’s not that simple. We can’t afford to get him out and it’s a big problem I’ve ran away after fighting with him a couple times. The whole situation is hard to explain and I can’t talk to anyone I know about it because I’m afraid they will over react based on the fact they’ve threaten to have me and my sister taken out of the house. I fight with him all the time to the point I’ve screamed at him to get out of our house. My sister is 2 now and we are hoping to get her in preschool next year but i don’t how to handle it. ignoring it doesn’t work and I’m not leaving this house.
