hi im 13 Â and id just like some advice.Â
umm i used to have a pretty normal life until three years ago when my family got pulled apart by a youth protection thing. some of my other family members called them because my mum was drinking and heavily abusing me. shes stopped the drinking but the abuse continues not physical but verbally. i now am not allowed to see my family and it may not sound like much but its extremely hard!Â
I’ve tried killing myself multiple times.  i cry like everyday and every-time i try to talk about it i get shut down, mum goes into poor me poor me or whatever, like i’m not understanding her. i do but she will not think of it from my perspective. they were there for me when my mum and dad weren’t / still aren’t. dad just shuts me down and backs mum um all the time. i need some advice before it drives me over the edge . please help me

Parent’s are people too unfortunately. They act as humans when really they need to be sub-human to take care of children or others. I know it’s hard to imagine being away from your family. They protected you it sounds like. If your mom is abusive, why can’t you live with another family member? Is that even possible? The one thing to remember if you can is that you do not have to live like that when you get the chance to be out in the world. You will be living how you want to live, not among the chaos and harsh words. It hurts right now I’m sure, and it is hard to control when you are only 13. If you are unsafe around your mom, maybe you can contact a family member secretly. I fear that you would get into more trouble if they found out, but you only know your situation. I hope the best for you immediately. Don’t forget that even though you are around your parents, you do not have to think like they do.
