So, my dad has recently started to gamble again and me and my siblings have been acting like we don't know anything because if we say something we will get in trouble and or my parents will divorce and mom had talked to him about his gambling and he stopped for a while and then when my mom left to deal with family issues and he started after she left. I already now that if I tell the truth i will get hurt mental and if I don't tell the truth I will still get hurt and I only have a string left that was my reason to live and that was family and music but now that im starting to lost my family I really dont know what to do...this is also the first time I talked about since I know I cant talk to my family and I feel like my school will judge me even if I know they won't but I feel like talking about it online without showing my face I feel better talking about this than with someone online.
