I'm sorry you've had to live with her, have you considered talking to a therapist? It sounds like your mother has a serious problem. You seem like a very positive, optimistic person. I'm glad there are people like you who can survive people like her, it gives me hope. And yes, you're still allowed to love her even if she's abused you. I would try setting some boundaries for her when you're with her so she can't abuse you further when she's around. It sounds like your still under 18 because you don't have a say if you want to see her or not. Try talking to your dad about who you don't want to see her as much? Or maybe in an environment you can control/feel more comfortable in? Just a few suggestions, hope one of them works for you!
Yeah, I'm thinking of going to one, I went to a therapist before but that was only for my anxiety. Thanks, I am under 18 and I have tried talking to my dad and he knows how my mum can get (because she tries to abuse him too) but he always tells me I have to go there because he needs a break from me and my sister or that he has plans to go see someone :(
I absolutely think you should see a therapist. I'm sorry your dad doesn't seem to be able to listen to you, he needs a break from you?? So he lets you stay with your abusive mother?? Not cool. Is your sister a good source of support for you? Definitely talk to someone, even if it's just an adult or even just a friend it can feel nice to know you have someone outside of your family that you can trust. (I've had similar issues)
IIN my mum thinks punching dogs is right?
