< I am a Christian and I am a mother >
Hello all. I am a 36 year old married mother of three boys. I have my degree in Forensic psychology and business management- human resources, I work in social services while juggling my three children and a marriage. When I originally joined this community I was excited to get back into what I love and that is helping people through listening, understanding, and guidance. However I quickly found that through my desire to help others, others are helping me. I have found my advice column beyond rewarding. I have found myself getting extremely passionate about each and every question that I read and respond to. The more the questions the greater the connection I have found between people of all walks of life, ages groups, races, gender, and religion. What I have found to be our greatest bind is love. Love for others and the love of being loved.

I am 16 years old and there are four residents in this house ; myself , my cousin , my sister and my grandmother , who is our guardian .
She has a job and works almost every day . Me my sis and my cousin are very mutch under weight . our bones are very visible . we get no allowance at all . the only thing we do receive , if we are lucky , is pocket change . our fridge is almost empty completely . i Dont understand . if she has a job and get paid , why are we starving . i got so used to being starving all the time . my cousin used to 'steal' food or money from my grandmother . i would do the same . i mean , hes only human and hes hungry .
we all go to sleep with empty bellies . my digestive system even slowed down . idk what to do .
i dont want to call the cops or anything but i will if i have to .
not only is lack of food a problem , but we barley have clothes -_- .
im tired of going through this . my hair falls out a little , too .
then she has the audacity to eat in her room by herself . are u kidding me . this is why i have an attitude . if she did her job than i wouldn't be this way . i cant even think straight .
everytime i get up , i fall right back down . i feel weak and brittle like a twig . i cant fit ANY of the clothes that i DO have , wich isnt even much by the way .
every month a check of $125 comes for me , and i dont get anything from her . i only have one pair of shoes and there is not even something as simple as milk or eggs in the fridge .
where does all this money go ? what is she hiding ?

You should apply for food stamps. I'm not sure how old your grandmother is or her mental state. Is she bitter that she has to take care of you? There are so many unanswered questions here. But you have to do what is best. If everything you say is true you really may need to contact children services. Perhaps your grandmother just needs extra assistance they could provide or sadly you may just need another guardian. Luckily you are 16 you can work if you must and soon you will be an adult. Do what your gut tells you too. I know you love your grandmother but some people just are fit to care for children or simply come to a stage in their life where children aren't their priority.
