Hey everyone, I'm Nicole. I'm 18 years old with a three month old baby girl. I live with my mom, dad, and sister but they provide no help and support. My parents are constantly fighting and are currently going through a divorce. My sister is 16 and wants nothing to do with me and only cares about getting high with her friends. Since my dad is moving to New York and my mom and sister are staying here, I have to decide where I want to go. My dad and I used to be close before I got pregnant and we are pretty close now but not the same as before. My mom and I do not get along and neither do my sister and I. If I move to New York, I will lose all of the supports I have in place here, my supports being my friends, therapist, case manager, and my boyfriend. But if I stay here with my mom and sister, I know I will resort back to cutting, isolating myself, and starving myself. I do not want to do that and I want to stay healthy and stable for my daughter. I also feel so alone and misunderstood. I need some friends with young children who actually understand.
Also my boyfriend is currently looking for an apartment and he told me I can move in with him once he gets a place. He doesn't know when that will be but he hopes soon. Until then what do you think I should do?
