My younger sister, Alice* who was only a baby when Nat left, is constantly ignored by my mother and shouted at when the slightest thing goes wrong.My father works away pretty much all the time, and when he does come home, him and my mother argue all the time, and he'll go and sleep at his mates.My mother, due to my father being away, always has various men around, she'll deny that she's having an affair with them, but all the signs point to that she is.I'm 16 years old now, and will be taking my GCSE's in a few weeks, I can't concentrate on my exams properly with everything like this happening at home, what can I do?Also, I've recently met this boy when I'm running, who will run along with me. He recently told me he ran away, and now lives with his friend. I'm not sure what to do, as I like him a lot, but feel like i'm betraying my family and Nat especially, by entering into a relationship with him.Please help me!!

 It does sound like you have a lot on your plate, but dont make that stop you finding your own happiness with this friend of yours.
The best thing you can do is get through your exams the best you can do. Your mum can take care of herself for the meantime. Maybe start to study at school or somewhere where you are not reminded of the worries at home. This is your time, dont forget that.
Do you have good relationship with your younger sister?
You dont sound like the person who would abandon your younger sister, but this is a vital part of your life where you need to make some important decisions about your life.
Do you want to go to Uni/college? Are you going to go straight to work? You need to think about yourself, you are not being selfish by doing this so dont feel that way.
You are not betraying anyone by doing the things you want to do, never think like that!
Do what makes you happy..
