That sounds like a really hard situation, but we want to let you know that you are very brave for reaching out for help. None deserves to be yelled at, and its okay to be scared when someone yells at you.

You are very strong for reaching out to us for support. If you mom yells at you a lot you reaching out to someone close to you about what is happening may help. Someone close could be a family member, school personnel, or even us. We also offer the option of maybe conference calling with mom so that you can tell her how you feel.

Conference calling is basically where we get you and mom on the phone, and we would mediate the conversation between you two while you share how you feel. This would be a safe space and we could set up the rules of the conversation to be things like no yelling or cursing, so you would feel comfortable to talk to your mom about how you feel. If you are interested Please reach out soon so that we may offer support and resources to you. Our number is 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929).

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to NRS and posting in this forum. Often forums are a place of support and understanding for many youth. It often may be validating and helpful for users to read similar situations as well as exchange feedback to one another. It sounds like home has been really stressful for you. You do not deserve to be hit by your brother or yelled at constantly. It can definitely be really frustrating to be treated differently than your siblings. You deserve to be treated in a way that makes you feel supported and safe.

Having a safe place to talk about what is going on can often help young people like feel like they have an outlet and think of options to change their situation they did not previously think of. We encourage you to reach out to people in your life that you trust and feel comfortable talking to like another family member, a school counselor, or friends.

We are here to be a support for you while you go through this difficult time. We are available 24/7 to listen and help at 800-786-2929 or chat with us at 1800runaway.org. Do not hesitate to reach out to talk more about your situation and brainstorm some options.

Take care,
NRS

My little brother has ADHD and Dyslexia and stuff. He cries and hits me all the time when I do nothing wrong and he's injured me. My older brother gets As and Bs and never works hard. I get straight As, I am the perfect student, I am very kind and not obsessed with people so social media isn't my thing. I'm a pretty great child to have. My mom tells at me about every little thing. My older brother got a C on a test which is very bad in my family and nothing happened. I was writing a paper in my room and my mom screamed in my face. She gets angry about everything but only when I do it. Then she tells all her friends how horrible I am for this. I can relate

Thank you for contacting the National Runaway Safeline. We are very sorry to hear about what you’re experiencing at home. It can be really painful to feel like you’re being controlled like you describe.

One option you might try is mediation with someone close to your family, but outside of the house. Maybe that’s an aunt or uncle, grandparent, or close family friend. Sometimes having a third person in the room can help everyone stay calm during difficult conversations. And they might be able to help your dad understand how negatively his actions are affecting you.

We are also very sorry to hear about your sexual assault from your cousin. It sounds like you maybe weren’t given the time or opportunity to really deal with healing from that experience, because your dad tries to cover it up. If you ever want to talk about the assault and want help processing your feelings, one resource you might try to RAINN (the Rape Abuse Incest National Network) at 1-800-656-4673 or through their website at rainn.org. They have an online chat option if that works better for you than a phone call.

You also mention that your dad has choked you in the past. We want you to know that you have every right to protect yourself. If it starts to get physical, please don’t be scared to call the police or even to leave the house/situation. You are allowed to keep yourself safe.

Also, please feel free to reach out to us to discuss this over the phone. You can give us more information and maybe we can help you think of some options that aren’t immediately obvious. Again, we’re sorry to hear about everything you have experienced and are currently experiencing. We wish you luck with everything.

My sisters and I want to leave our screwed up life. Our dad only cares about grades and controls every aspect of our life. During the summer he makes us study all day and when we want to do something he complains because of how much it costs. And we are no way near poor- we are pretty well off so it is really annoying when he says that for everything. He is also physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive. Anytime we try to tell him to get help he hits us or tries to take our electronics, car, and wifi away. So we are stuck with nothing and all we can do is study. Despite all the bad things he has done to this family, my mom still refuses to leave him because she doesn't want to be alone when we all leave for college.She lets him abuse us and she doesnt help because if she does my dad will abuse her too. When I was a child, I got sexually assaulted by my cousin on my dad's side and he tries to cover that up. What kind of parent does that. Im too scared to tell him because I think he will kill me because he has choked me before and I KNOW HE WON'T HESITATE TO DO IT AGAIN. My sisters and I cant do anything about it because if we did try to tell the school they would probably put us in child services and then we will be stuck. My dad yelled at my sister for using too many paper towles to clean up someything she spillt. I wanna leave so bad but I have no way out until college which is thankfully in a year for me but then I feel bad that my younger sister will be left at my hell house all alone with my parents and she will be abused. We need help and a clean way out.
