re: Broken household

Hello, we are glad you reached out to the National Runaway Safeline. It sounds like you dealing with a lot of stress at home because of all your responsibilities to your family. It can be really difficult to talk to others about how you are feeling and you are very brave for trying to communicate with your parents. Although you want to leave home because you can't handle this type of responsibilty there might be other resources that can be helpful during this difficult time. It sounds like there aren't people in your life that you can confide in and it must be difficult considering everything you have been through. It's great that you communicated your thoughts to us, we are here to listen.

Re: i hate my parent she doesnt understand

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the National Runaway Safeline and sharing your story. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration with life. It’s understandable you feel like the odd one out especially at family functions and when classmates talk behind your back but YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! There is nothing wrong with being mixed or different in general. In fact, if you ask famous people and huge business owners even they’ll tell you that being and thinking different is what made them successful. As for your mom, what makes you feel like she’s a bad mother? Have you tried talking to her about how you’re feeling? Congratulations on taking advanced courses! Not many people can and the fact that you’re already thinking of owning your own business really says a lot about your maturity.

What makes you think running away would be the solution to all of your concerns? You’re still going to be mixed, meaning you’ll still be who you are no matter where you go. Another way to approach the situation is by embracing who you are and loving every piece of yourself. If you want to talk more about this give us a call at our 24 hour hotline 1800-RUNAWAY (786-2929) or you can live chat with us any day from 4:30-11:30pm central time. We hope this helped.

Best,
NRS Supervisor
