Rachel,

I am relativly new here, but if you post this over on the Emotional Needs board it will probably get more attention. I am sure Baba2 or star*fish or some of the long time MBers will get you going in the right direction

Good luck

Dearest Rachel,

I am new to this board, too. I felt compelled to at least respond to your post to let you know that you've been heard, and hearts go out to you. You are still so young and impressionable. Your Dad put you in a horrible spot. I know you feel guilty, but you did nothing wrong. The so called adult here did. I'm sure you love both your Mom and Dad and feel torn. There are so many issues going on in your family right now. Dearheart... please go seek some counseling. People here can be very supportive but you need someone close by. Perhaps a guidance counselor at school, or a trusted teacher or friend can help you find the appropriate person to talk to and help you work through all this.

Keep us informed. You have done a brave and wise thing by reaching out for help. I'll keep positive thoughts for you.
