What should I do? My life is hell.

I’m thirteen years old and live with my family. We all used to be kinda close but ever since last year everything has fallen apart. My mom is very cruel and spiteful and VERY naggy.

I’ve had issues with my weight for a while – I’m defiantly not fat but I’m larger then most girls, well not even that it’s just I’m not the average toothpick of a girl you usually see. My mom is obsessed with getting me to eat protein, to the point where I’m not allowed to eat sandwiches because they have bread on them.

She favors my younger brother over me.

I think I’m growing depressed, I hate it here. Not only is my mother cruel, she always yells at my dad because of one night, out of the entire week, he didn’t do the dishes. But somehow, he loves her – I don’t understand how that could be possible.

She wants to be involved in my life and issues with friends so much, to the point where I actual fear that people may be disliking me because of her.

My mom also has a hard time letting go. In April, I made a stupid comment and she refuses to let it go – to the point where I feel like crying. She also made fun of me today because I made a comment about the “popo” in front of a police officer, who I was not aware was standing behind me.

She’s also obsessed with perfection. Last year, I brought home an 80 on a test and I got screamed out and grounded for it – only because it wasn’t a 100. I am very smart but my mom doesn’t understand that everyone makes mistake and that I can’t always be perfect. I feel so neglected by her, that I have thoughts of gulp suicide and running away (though, I realize suicide is stupid I still think if she would miss me if I died), I’m leaning more towards running away, though.

I don’t know how much longer I can take living here – on top of all of this, I’m also pre-menstrual, so I’m already highly iratible.

Please help me, before I do something I could regret.

Answer #1

omg no I mean counsellors and help lines just give you better advise and stuff like that

Answer #2

I love my mom and I know she loves me too, it’s just that she wants me to be perfect and I’m far from it. . . She never hits me or anything – it’s not abuse it just hurts my feelings often. Please don’t assume that I need to go to child services or something.

Answer #3

“accidentally” let her see this page and everything you have written. but if she does shout then I reccommend seeing a counsellor or calling some random helpline

Answer #4

Don’t get suicidal! I would suggest talking to your mom. What I do to get away from my family for a little while is I take my book and then I just go somewhere quiet and read.

Answer #5

Show her what you just wrote. Maybe it will make her understand. I hope it does

Answer #6

Before you do anything. try talking to her or anybody.. I also like taking walks to get away from where I am.. If im annoyed at home I have the urge to walk.. make a new habit of getting away it;ll help vent.. mean while try to confront her.

Answer #7

I used to be in the exact same situation just let her say whatever the f she wants just dont let words hurt you or get to your head just think to yourself there just words doing this will stop you from getting your feelings hurt and helps you become mentally tough but if you want to stop all the arguing and comments just talk to her about it and tell her how you feel remember there is a BIG difference between tough love and being a b so dont blame yourself or have any feelings of guilt if your not doing anything wrong often moms and/or dads take out there anger and frustration on there kids because they have a bad life or had a bad child hood and they want to give you a taste of there feelings which is really wrong please funmail me any questions or concerns
