I grew up seeing my step dad beat my mom, and I've been beating by my mom because she's angry with him, I don't have any family I can stay with and every time I tell my mom I need to go and get help she would just yell at me and make me feel like crap, I ran away to new York when I was 13 went the police found me I told them what happened, I had children's Family Services in my life your 2 year once they left everything went back how it was before I ran away, I cry myself to sleep every night, I don't want to be here anymore,
