She cant talk about it in front of my dad b/c he starts rampaging about how she just needs to leave. But hes really just upset that he cant iron, cook, clean and that is all he says shes good for. She is scared of him so wont stand up 4 herself. she took 100,000 out of a joint bank account and put it into her own. but thats absolutely nothing compared to all we have. she is just going to take herself, 3 daughters, and a dog and leave when she finds a house. My dad will try to screw her over so she gets nothing but they have been married for 17 yrs... she has suffered abuse (mostly emotional) and shes too chicken to do anything about gettin the half of everything she deserves. Also, about the house front... there are almost no houses in my school district but the ones that we have looked into have fallen through =[. No one has a prob. w/ moving out of my district bc i can drive to school but she says shes not moving out of my district even though it would be closer to my school, my sister's colleges and her work. shes just scared of being on her ownwhat can i tell her to get her and us out of this house of misery/? what should i say to convince her to move bc now shes just nit picking!!

 try to convince her that the situation will improve alot when you move! show her the question that you have put on here and show her this answer. i'm sure that you mum is a good mum and she is entitled to half of everything so she really should fight for this. she needs reassurance that she wont be alone and if she is occassionally alone physically there are plenty of ways to make friends and meet new people. make an effort to find possible houses yourself and tell her how much this situation is bothering you. i hope she comes to her senses soon so that you can start to rebuild a better life for yourselves! keep me updated. x
