Mum..

My mum puts me down so much, every detail, from how I look onwards. I will be doing some work, and she always tries to catch me not working, as if i lie, she knows how stressed i am with exams, yet she accuses me of pretending to be working. She also shouts at me, for something the dog would do, and when i mean shout i mean scream till your throat hurts. She drove my Dad away, and plays mindgames to make me hate him, even tho she says he does that but he really doesn't. So anyway, she shouts non stop, and it causes me to shout, i can't really describe how much i hate my life, she tells me non stop how horrible i am, how she wishes i would leave, how horrible i look wearing what ever i am wearing, and then when other people are around she acts so nice and fake, she claims she has depression but i think it's an excuse for her to not go to work. I try telling her how upset she makes me feel, like today i told her how hard i work and how she puts me down really makes me not want to bother with exams anymore, and she punished me. I cry everyday, and tried to kill myself once because of her, before you ask i am not a emo i just feel so unwanted.

You need to speak to someone about this. Its not right for you to be treated so negatively all the time. Is there a aunty or Gran you can speak to. If there is there anybody else you can trust - a teacher maybe? I feel for you it must be terrible. People do act like this when they are depressed but you shouldn't have to suffer for it :( You are wanted by your friends at Habbox though, Lizzie.

No one really, my Dad would go mad, i don't want to cause trouble, my Gran would stick up for my mum tbh, I can't talk to my dad's side of the family because my mum gets even worse if i do as she hates them. And plus, i can't talk about it i just break down.

You could go see a counciler at school or something I've heard they're very good

Tbh i am kind of embarressed about it, non of my friends know, and i kinda hide it away, but now she's made me so self consious i don't like leaving the house, for school, to go out, i just do nothing because i hate it.

If you break down its kinda good if you do it infront of a caring person, they will realise how sad you are.

Do you love her, if not get her arrested for child neglectivity/abuse :)

If you are with somone that is quite a strong caring person then go to them. If you are with your dad your mum can't hurt you.

At the end of the day tho she is my mum, if i go to live with my dad she will disown me she practically said it. I got enough stress with my exams and all atm that i can't really afford to move around homes.

She sounds like a mother, not a mum. Parents should NEVER play mind games with their children to make them hate the other parent. My mom NEVER degraded my dad in front of me when I was yonger. She might take the odd jab at him now, but I am old enough to understand. I do favor my mom over my dad, because my mom is the one who raised me, my dad lives in another country so I can't visit him when ever I want.

I feel really bad for you and your situation, you need to get out of her house because sometimes the emotional abuse can be worse than the physical abuse. If she is going to do that to you, she deserves to be alone.

you need to tell someone, otherwise nothing may change. you say you feel embarassed and stuff, but being embarassed for a few minutes could make your homelife so much better.
