I am so sorry to hear this.  I didn't see this until just now and am just so sorry you are going through all of this.  I'm not sure what safenet is...i'll have to check that out.  I hope things get better for you.

Have you ever checked into emancipation?  If you did this (and I'm not sure about the laws in your state), you may be able to rent an apt then at 17.  You may also then be able to apply to your state government for assistance such as insurance, food supplies, cash assistance, etc.  It may be worth checking into....

It also sounds to me as if you have not had a good talk with your mom about the situation and she should be taking you for counseling, you will be able to have the child adopted,if you decide not to keep him/her.When are you 18 as you can make your own decisions then and someone will find you somewhere to go with your child .?

If you're still in school,  you can tell your counselor.  They're "mandatory reporters" of child abuse and will help you.

My mother wants to help, when my father isnt around. If he is she sits around and only watches whatever he does. And the father has no interest in being a father,  he wants to be with me only if i agree to get rid of it which i could never do.

I am uncertain what country you live in , here in the US we do have shelters you can go to , depending on country and state .When you say home issues that become physical you can ask for help from the Child services as you are still under 18 if you or your child are at risk ..your best bet is to seek help through them..Do some research , and reach out for help, good luck let us know how you are both doing .

Either find a battered women's shelter or find the closest Child protective service. Regardless of what you have heard they are there to help people like you and to keep you with your child if that is what you choose to do. Even the Police will help. You can walk in and ask for protection. It will be very scary and you may want to take what meds you have on hand and any other evidence you may need to make sure you keep getting your meds. Do you know your doctors name and where he is? You may also need that information. Take your social security card with and if you have your birth certificate etc. take it also. Good luck and God Speed.
