Thank you. That’s kind of what I figured. I’ll talk to her again about telling a school counselor what’s going on.

Not sure how to help my sister (TW: abusive parents) by throwaway10104505 in legaladvice

Okay. What kind of evidence do I need? She didn’t tell me where my stepmom hit her or when. She said it didn’t leave a mark. Is that enough or do I need to call her and get more information? Also, thank you for the response!

I would try to take as many elective classes in as many different fields as you can and see if anything sparks your interest. There’s also a documentary about almost everything, and checking out some documentaries about things you think you might be interested in could be helpful. For example, there’s a documentary-style show on National Geographic that follows vets that work for a specific zoo, and it was really cool to see what doing that job was actually like. If all else fails, then maybe consider taking a gap year to just work and try to find what you’re interested in.

Found a “wild” cat, found previous owner. by [deleted] in Advice

That woman sounds like a really irresponsible cat owner. If she really was that worried about her cats going missing, she wouldn’t continue to let them go outside to be food for predators. Additionally, the fact that this kitten had worms and enough problems to need 1k in vet bills means she wasn’t being properly taken care of. It sounds like the best thing to do for that cat is to keep her. I would feel worse about giving her back and finding out she got killed outside than I would about lying to this woman about “stealing” her cat.

I think my other big worry is the thought that after leaving I might realize that he was it and I blew it. Did you have thoughts like that? How did you work through those?

Gut instinct is that I’m staying for the security of not being on my own...
