Before you jump to conclusions,ask him straight,ask him why and see what you can maybe promise to do to keep your bed there. Say, for instance, he says he's fed up with you coming home at all hours.say you'll be home by 11pm and BE HOME by 11pm. if its his house, he has the right to make the rules- if you want to stay there you may have to give a bit - or a lot

Stacey,Keep on in there.You are doing brilliant.The kids i have put up with had nothing to start with.I would be proud of you. Annie

Hi Stacey, I dont know how old you are but listen, i know this is probably a hard thing to ask of you, but can you please talk to your parents first... tell them how you feel... what you have said on here, is exactly what you need to tell your parents.. honestly! We all at some time during our teenage years and some of us later on, have felt this way, that we are nothing but trouble to our family and that our parents dont love us.. yet this is as far from the truth as possible.. your parents DO love you.. always have and always will.. growing up, is a scary time of our lives, and just as much as you worry and fret about the path you lead, so do your parents. in their hopes and dreams for you, everything should be perfect for your life, but in trying to lead you on the right path, they may sometimes get frustrated, angry, upset, that the goals they wish for you, have not happened. We all want whats best for our children.. but its not until our children have children of their own, do they understand this passion and desire for whats best. If, things are so very bad at home, and i am sure thay are not as bad as you are feeling right now, ask your parents for help in movivng on... practical and emotional. i am sure they will give you the support and help you need. just try to stay positive... and dont think the worst. take care.

He's made one too many idle threats in the past, I got kicked out before but came back after 3 months of sleeping on a friend sofa. I'm pretty sure he's serious this time. I know I could be blowing it out of proportion but I'm just feeling less and less like part of this family that I think they really do want me out. I'm 20 earning a good wage but not fantastic, plus I have a car on finance and a few other bits which makes the money I have to move out even less. There's not a lot around this way for cheap money. I tried looking up about housing associations but couldn't really figure out how they worked (being a bit ditzy)! I've suffered from depression for the last year and half, I've managed to control it without pills and kept it out of my work and social life but I'm starting to show at work and I don't know how to hide it now. It's just this whole thing is getting to me and making it worse, not knowing what to do if/when it happens. God you must all think I'm a stupid moaning kid, I just don't know who else to talk to. Sx

is your sister just stirring things up? Has you Dad actually asked you to leave by New Year?

Racey Stacey Are you SURE your Dad wants you out 'by the New Year'. If so, ask him where you are supposed to go and how you are supposed to arrange this over the festive season, when it would be difficult to arrange accommodation even if it were available. I don't know what age you are, but if your Dad is really serious, then ask him to serve you with an Eviction Notice. He will have to apply to the Court for this and he might be reluctant to do it, but if he does, you will then be entitled to help from the Council. Hope your dad is just making an idle threat, or this is his idea of a joke. OC

Hi how old are you? are you earning a decent wage?

Have you tried Housing Associations? I know it's expensive and scary to do it on your own.I hope you find somewhere soon. ((((HUGS)))) Heather x

Oh Stacey,I do feel for you.I have come across a lot of kids that have became homeless and not all there fault.Please do not blame yourself,you are who you are and please be proud of that.He has made you that person.Please go to your homeless section of your council.I wish you luck. Annie

Dad's given me till new year to find somewhere else to live! I'm in such a state, my sister told me something my dad said to her earlier in jest and all I could get out of it was that he really does want to get rid of me. She doesn't understand how it feels to be the black sheep, not feel like part of the family or even loved by your own parents. I just feel I've dissappointed them time and time again. I don't know what to do renting privately is far to expensive, the council can't help and going into a flat share is a bit scary. U never know who your moving in with these days, my friends can't afford it either. I really don't know what to do. Anyone got any suggestions? I hate being me, if the saying life is wat you make it true then I've done a really bad job at making mine! Sx
