i just gotta let all of this off my chest, it hurts so much. it’s been 40 days since i last cut, since my father said that the next time i cut, he would do something about it, he would put me in a facility that would help me, unlike my mother. i know, not cutting is a good thing, but you have no clue how much it helps. everyone has drama, at home, at school, whatever, but i just got to tell someone, even if no one reads this sh*! and i gotta tell u, it’s long, but if you could help me, i will be in debt, because i don’t know what to do….
i want to cut, i need to cut. why? well, it’s not very simple. let’s start with what my sister is doing. god knows i love her and will protect her from everything, even though i can’t. well, she’s taking my mom to court, because she wants to stay with my father. my mom and my father got divorced when i was two (historical: they were married December 8th, then they got divorced December 9th a couple years later lol) she wants to be with my father, my mom doesn’t want him to have her. it’s an obsession, making sure she’s better than my father.
yeah, the other part is my mom. it’s hard saying this to you guys, you can’t believe how hard it is, but i’m scared of her. i’m terrified of my mother. she would take this as a good thing, because it means she has power, but i just can’t stand it anymore. when i was little, she wouldn’t JUST spank me, she would make sure that i wouldn’t be able to sit. sometimes, she had my step-dad have my sister and i put our faces into the wall, and he would mash our noses into the wall. the law in colorado is you can spank your children until they turn ten, but any older than that, then it’s child abuse, too bad THEY didn’t know. i got in trouble when i was 12 because i spoke against them, because i wanted to go to my father’s house. the next thing i knew, after yelling at my step-dad in my room, his hand was on my throat, and he was in my face, telling my how worthless i was. that wasn’t the end of it, i got in trouble again, about 9 months ago, and they started “spanking” me. i’m sorry, but i didn’t know that spanking included hitting my back, holding my hands and feet down, spitting in my face, and saying sh*! to me. my mother always had a way of making me feel worthless, making me feel stupid, terrible, ugly. she was never my mom, my sister was the one who really raised me all these years.
i guess you could say my mom was the master mind of everything and my step-dad was the minion. he backs her up no matter up, even if she’s wrong. now that my sister’s leaving me, i am more terrified of what’ll happen. knowing my mom, she’s going to ask me to choose sides, to pick between her and my father, either her or the judge. and when my mom loses in court, she’ll have to take her anger out, she’ll throw temper tantrums, she’ll curse my sister, but i know she’ll do more.
guys, i’m just scared. i want to leave, but i can’t go to my father, he and i have a LOT of issues, and i can’t do foster care because i’ll never see my sister again, never see my family. i can only think of one solution. i don’t want to take it, i don’t want to be like my uncles, but what choices are there? be a ward of the state? stay with my easily-jealous mother? stay with my father who wants the perfect family? to anyone who thinks that therapy will solve everything, it doesn’t help. every time that i went to therapy, 6 years, my mother NEVER went to a session, NEVER.
this might seem like the “oh, i have the most terrible family” deal, but i swear i’m not trying that. i just needed to rant, to get this off my chest. i’m just scared, because i don’t know what to do. i’m trying to wait for my brother to come down, but he’s coming home in june, and another problem is he said he might join the army, and he’s my last option, to hold it off. please, i need help from my brothers and sisters on here who know at least SOMETHING that i’m going through. wat do i do???

Jesus get the hell away from them report them or something!!bastards that is harcore child abuse you dont deserve what they are doing to you
i swear to god i would do that in a heartbeat, i would, but i can’t be a ward of the state, and if i do report them, i wouldn’t have any place to go. god, i want to get out, i do, but i have nowhere, that’s why i have plan B..
tell your brother. He might understand. How old are you? maybe you can get someone to take your case, maybe get you and your sister together in a foster home
This is terrible and its no fault of your own vida….so never think it is ….Yes, tell/email your brother.
How old are you may i ask? Do you have such things as school counsellors you can talk to?
i’ll be 15 in june, nd i can’t do counselors….i’ve told them things all my life, but they’ve never really helped. nd i want to tell my brother, but he may be joining the army, nd i kno it’s something he wants nd i can’t stop him.
I love you, sorry im lonesome (forever alone) and I choke myself so without it its hard to cope with everuthimg… I understand and thats not enough…
thank you, nd im sry tht u hurt too. sometimes it has it’s benefits, but sometimes it’s not enough….
Just know none of this is your fault. All children are meant to be loved and cared for. Abuse is not tolerated and causes issues for you later in life…and this is not anything a young person should be dealing with. I had to grow up too fast. Be as calm as you can and try to think on good things coming your way…I know it’s hard, but it’ better than trying to figure out a situation that is a bit much for you right now. Take care.
thank you so much. i’m trying, i don’t want anything bad to happen. i’ll just have to see what’ll happen after march, cuz i kno thts when she’ll crack….thank you for caring so much.
I’m not sure if your still looking for your answer but you should look into something called Emancipation. it’s basically were you become completely independent from your parents. it’s like turning 18 to the government even though you may only really be 15 or 16. It’s difficult because you do have to live without them in that it’s not “required” for them to look out for you, but in your situation i don’t think that really maters, but if court goes wrong in me getting to my dad’s this summer or whenever it happens that’s what I’m looking into.
I know it’s been a while since you posted, but wondered how things were going. Are things any better…changed…
just made a new post talking about everything that’s happened. Thank you for caring and wondering how it’s all been, but yeah things have changed, both good and bad I guess.
