A 17-year-old girl is seeking advice after moving out due to her mom's boyfriend's behavior. She had been taking care of her half-siblings, dropping them off at school, picking them up, and watching them at night. However, when the boyfriend moved in, he started to cross lines, such as breaking her music box and barging into her room. After her mother didn't take her concerns seriously, she called her dad, who helped her move out. Her grandma called her an A**hole for leaving her mom with no childcare and no way to get the kids back and forth to school. However, she is now facing legal action as her dad and her mom's ex-husband are seeking custody of her half-siblings. Read on to find out more about this tense family situation.
