<prompt> Human: Hello! I need some advice on how to move me and my mother out of a toxic home. My father is a drunk, and all of my life I have just become accustomed to him being that way. He is verbally abusive to my mother and very rarely to me has recently began. They are both toxic to each other. I am 18 and my mother is still working, but I want to help her leave this situation. They need to divorce, but for some reason are trying to make it work. I make on average 220ish a week, while hers varies from 200-1000 a week. What is a good way for us to plan to move out? Her name is on our house, but so is my dads so she is looking at both options. We have various pets, and she has a vew credit cards that she needs to pay off. Any help would be appreciated!!Edit: I am located in East Tennessee  <response>: Im going to warn you... You could invest a lot of money and time into this situation, successfully move you two out or at least get the ball rolling, and then your mom can dip and decide to go back to him. She can even tell you that she wants to leave and then go back on her word. It is very, very difficult to just up and leave an abusive relationship unless she herself has been aware of it and actively planning to leave for a while. Fear, doubt, and all kinds of psychological blocks might stop her from leaving and pull her back to him over and over. You say she is still trying to make it work with him. In that case, it is highly doubtful that she will just leave him with you.Investing your money and time in a risky venture like this will only harm you both, because then youre both sunk. If she goes back to him before you two are fully out, or even after, she could waste a whole bunch of money that you cant then use. Then youre stuck at home with a dad who now knows that you tried to leave him and take his wife from him. Situation gets worse. Etc. My advice, secure yourself first. Move out and get stable. When she wants to leave, you can be there for her. But make sure youre out, financially stable, and fully independent so he cant hurt you anymore. Then you can worry about her. Secure your own oxygen mask first, or else youll both end up drowning.
