I’m 14 and I want to run away, presumably to another country so I won’t be found. I’ve been thinking about this for awhile but whenever I discuss it with someone, they say I’m overreacting. I absolutely hate my mother, she treats me differently from my brothers and says she “cares” even though her actions show otherwise.
Last night was my breaking point when her boyfriend called me a b*tch and she turned the blame onto me for not “respecting” them. Then the next morning she acts like nothing happened, this is an ongoing cycle. She was also physically abusive when I was younger but at that time I thought it was normal for parents to slap and hit their children. She always tries to invalidate how I feel as being “disrespectful” or “having an attitude”. She gets mad if I don’t talk to her but if I say what’s on my mind, it makes her angrier. I’m absolutely done with this treatment.
Ive looked into calling CPS, emancipation, etc. But none of those seem to fit my situation. I’m not old enough to get a job, or drive. So my options are very limited. I have my mom’s boyfriend’s credit card information so I can get a lyft to the airport & a cheap plane ticket. If my plan goes well I can escape to another country (state seems too risky) & live my life there. I was thinking Japan as it’s far away, really beautiful, and my basic Japanese will help a lot.
I want to do it so badly but I’m just so scared. I know I’ll miss my friends, my cat, and the handful of supporting family I have. (I can’t stay with them) But I am so sick and tired of living this way and I want to get away.
