How do I put myself in care?
I'm 14 and I've been thinking about wanting to be in a care home since I was little, about 8 or 9. I've always been unhappy at home and with my family. A lot has happened I'm my past and I try to put it behind me or not let it get to me but I can't seem to do that. My dad used to hit me and so did my mum. My two older brothers used to get beaten my our dad and when my dad used to hit me they didn't do anything to stop. I felt like I didn't have anyone to talk to, I was always alone so I kept things to myself and bottle things up. My mum used to hit me only when I used to annoy her over small things and she always used to say to me how she never loved me, she wished I was dead, or that she never had me, she would always compare me to my brothers hoping that I would be more like them. She would always say how I should go into care and find a family that actually want me. She always gave me the impression that she never loved me or cared about me. Now that I've grown up a bit more and I'm able to say what I want without backing down, I want to do what's best for me. I don't want to carry on pretending that I'm happy when I'm clearly not. All I want is to start again, I've been through a lot and all I want is to be happy again. What do I do to end up in care??
