trying to be brave

They want me to practically live here, at daddie dearest's, and after 3 days if sitting bored in his hospital room, and letting his dog out, I've only been given 20$. Not cool. I know I am right to want to be paid for all this time, it takes me away from seeking a real job. But these two, especially daddie, have always steamrollered over me. And over my Mom.

When I was a kid, daddie dearest only paid $50 a month per kid in child support. Is it fair to expect a Mom to raise 2 kids on $100 a moth? Of course not! And now daddie thinks I should live with him. Um no, I don't want to. I want to stay with my cats, in my own house where I don't get condescending to. And I don't sleep as well in a strange bed. So I am unhappy. I know they can't technically force me, but can I stand up?
