Should i call childline

8 Comments

When I was younger I was in foster care for almost a year, but my parents lied and pretended to have changed and so I have been at home ever since.... They hit me, break my things, call me names, intimidate me and scare the life out of me. The other day my mum was shouting at me and so I ran upstairs to get away because I was scared (with good reason) and I locked myself in the bathroom, she ran up after be and broke the door down, every day I'm scared to come home p, but the one time I plucked up enough courage to tell her that I would run away or call social services, she threatened to kill herself. I just don't know what to do. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happened to her!

    These are not your parents. They may be your father and mother. But real parents would never treat their child in such a manner. In addition, a mother, using emotional blackmail to control you is a clear indicator there needs to be a third party. If you can not call emergency services, at least call a friend or relative and make them aware of the situation. Be bold and blessed be.

    You can not 'cause' your mom to commit suicide. She must do that all on her own. From what you wrote, she sounds like a coward anyway, picking on you when you can not fight back, so really, chances are it will not come up.
    Since you've already been in foster care, you know what you'd be getting into by calling social services, so the choice is yours.
    I can't tell you what you should do here, but I would suggest you choose what is best for you and tough shit for everybody else. Look out for yourself!

    See if you can talk to a family member that you can trust and talk to, and get away from you parents for a while. They may have some advice to give you and will be able to talk with you and your parents together. This situation is forcing you to grow, you need to take care of yourself self and if you parents are mistreating you then go. If you are scared for your life then there is a good reason to be. I hope and pray you find what you need.
