So for the past couple of days my mom and her boyfriend (who I consider like a stepdad because he has been and has lived with my mom for a long time) have been fighting. My mom said that she wants us to leave and not tell him and it scares me. I don’t know what he will do when he realizes that she, my brother, and I are gone. I don’t think he will try to find us and hurt her but I really don’t know how he will react in the moment. I don’t want to tell him anything because I don’t want to get involved in their problems and my mom said she is not going to leave any time soon, she is going to stay calm and wait a couple of months she said to see how things plays out but if the problems continue we will leave.
So I want to know what do I do and how do I stop being scared?
Background: I am 27 and am going to turn 28 in June, female, and my mom’s boyfriend is 50 and my mom is going to turn 50 in October. They bought a 3 family/floor house together about 3 years ago and about a month ago part of the third floor and the entire roof caught on fire. We are living in a home for rent under the care of the insurance company. I don’t think they are fighting about the house at all, but all around it’s just a stressful and anxiety ridden situation with the house problem added to it.
