The situation is that I live at my mom's with my half brother step dad and half baby sister. But I don't want to bring any of my friends to my house as It is scruffy. And my mom and step dad like to drink lots of alcohol on a weekend. But one morning I woke up an I found remains of white powder on the kitchen worktop. Now I'm scared and I don't know weather to move somewhere else e.g.(dad's, nannas or grandmas) or just stay

Hi,and lets think about what goeson in a kitchen before we make harsh accusations.Flour and other white substances move through kitchens and sometimes spill on the counter,and if your house is "scruffy" maybe no one felt like cleaning it up.It could be a number of things,baking soda:flour:powdered dishwashing detergent:laundry soap:ect....i once had a simialar expeerience with my day.i found a massive bag of white powder in the kitchen later to discover that it was laundry soap.before i knew that i ran into the room aand yelled at my dad ""No wonder we never have aany money!!!!""i then tasted it to find suds in my mouth.Ask your mom if she does coke.not all people who do drugs are not unreliable scum like society leads us to think...good luck inbox me anytime:0

Hi there,
Firstly well done for seeking advice. You know this isnt the right situation for you or the other two children to be around regardless of street drugs being taken or not.Adults Consuming alcohol with the children in the house excessively is not responsible.
You could just outright ask your mum about it,but if your scared and worried about what response you may get back then the following needs to happen!!
If you are feeling scared I would certainly speak to another person in the family that you can trust. If you dont feel you can talk to someone in the family maybe go to your local surgery or social services in your area where someone professional can help you in the choices you may decide to make. You may leave to your dads etc but the two other children shouldnt be left in the house if this is going on around you all.
Im not quite sure how old you are but it sounds like you are old enough to know the situation is wrong and may be able to help not only you but the two youngest children.
Please ask for professional help or talk to an adult you can trust. Don't stay quiet about it.

Do you have white flour, corn starch or powder sugar in the house? If none of those are in the cupboards, then yes I can understand you reason for alarm. As for the drinking, as long as children are not being abused or neglected because of it, theres not much you can do about it, just because you don;t like how they keep house. Now on the other hand, if you do witness them taking street drugs or the drinking has them so drunk that any one of you feel in danger, report it to school counselors and they will get the authorities and at the same time let your birth dad and grandmas know. If you are still terrified, then go ahead and confide with one of your grandma's so she can help keep a closer eye on the parents to see if there is anything to be worried about. If step dad becomes drunk enough to attempt rape or something, leave the house before he has you cornered and pound on a neighbors door and call grandmas/dad immediately. I am sorry to hear, that homelife is rough for you right now. If there is missing information that would help me to know better what is really going on at home, write back to me dear. worrying about what ifs 24/7 will take its toll on you
