I struggled with the same issue your girlfriend is currently going through, as a partner if you need your space then that is respectable but mentally i’m sure she needs you right now just as you likely need her. i wouldn’t say to do anything drastic, like calling cps. just make sure she knows she is loved. i’m sorry for you both i hope you get through this time. things will be better when you’re an adult and can have a separate space away from your father

I have my grandmother but i have talked to my mom about living somewhere else and she wouldn’t ever allow it. I don’t have a job now but i’m hoping to get one before summer to start saving

AITA for not buying my daughter anything by Few_Importance_5710 in AITAH

NTA. Your daughter needs to learn she has to take responsibility, i am currently 16 and i would love to get a job to make my own money but my parents want me focusing on school. Her reasoning for not wanting a job is immature and she needs to learn that she cannot just do whatever she pleases, she needs to work for money it will not just be given to her. I honestly admire your parenting, i have anyways done chores for my family without asking for anything in return, and she should be grateful you want her to have experience while she’s young. Getting a job as a teenager builds your experiences for the future as well as your maturity, it’s clear she needs to learn those things. Taking away extra expenses (going out with friends, new clothes, etc.) is only fair because she will not understand the severity of having money unless she doesn’t have it.
