My Story

Hello, I found this forum while doing a little research... and I wish I could come across it sooner. I am a teenage girl who has a lot of problems with my mom and my living area. Ever since my dad died when I was about in 3rd or 4th grade, living with my mom has been total hell. We get into the smallest arguments and since my mom has to work 3 jobs and we can barely afford a place to stay, she will take her anger out on me over the smallest things and threaten to disown me... Call me swear words...and just yell at me and threaten to kill herself. She can yell at me in the car for hours and then when a friend or family member comes around she will fix up herself and act like nothing happened.. She constantly tells me to stop crying and if we are going to our aunts she will tell me to act like nothing happened and wrap her arms around me, but then as soon as we get to the car she will yell and cuss at me again. There are times she will threaten to black mail me and embarrass me at school. when im on the phone with my friends she will yell and scream. I've told everyone in my family and they don't believe me, and a social worker came to my house and didn't believe me at all so I have no hope.. I just think I'm gonna die like this... I'm now in school... and I don't know what im gonna do over summer vacation. Life is so hard and I can't find a solution to all of this... Should I call back Child Protective Services..? I'm afraid they wont be able to help me.

Dear beck102:

It is like I was reading my own story. If I was you I will call CPS and do my very best to no longer live with her. She is hurting you!

Do whatever it takes and the sooner the better, ASAP, really to live someplace else, away from your mother and living away from her, having no contact with her, I hope you get into competent psychotherapy so to start your healing from this abuse inflicted on you.'

I am so sorry you are in this situation. Do whatever it takes to help yourself live away and heal.

Post anytime.
