Im 13 and Unhappy

[Guest]

My grandad is very sick and could be affecting my mums behaviour but all she does is moan shout argue and cause me pain not physically but emotionly there hasnt been a single day without her doing these things. Whenever i confront her she shouts at me and has this horrifying expression on her face like she wants to cause me pain she will deny anything she doesnt want to hear and wont stop shouting until i say sorry for no reason. If i tell her how i feel like anxiety social anxiety ,depression she shruggs it off oh its just growing up she says but its not always, she says its good pain but its not i tell her but she wont listen, if she cant see it with her eyes she wont care. I sometimes feel like my head will explode i can never get away from the overwelming anger and emotions she puts be through. Ive tried to talk to her about it lots of times but no shes to caught up in consentrating on herself. Yes parents do moan at kids but not like mine its like she turns into a total stranger. I love my mum but she needs to stop this.

My brother is 15 and he causes me pain aswell he has bad anger issues and says horrible things to me all the time yes brothers also do this but my brother goes way over the limit he can be nice at times but even if he is he will always ruin it with his words. my sister and dad are fine.
I love my family but i need to feel free from my mind for once. And not wanting to disapear or run away.

Hey there,

Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing a little bit about what’s been going on, we know that it takes a lot of courage. It must be really hard to live in a home with so much tension. It sounds like your mom is having a hard time understanding you when you are trying to explain how her shouting/screaming has been making you feel. It could be a good idea to work with a local family counselor or have a conversation mediated by a school counselor/social worker, trusted friend, or family member to help clear the air.

The National Runaway Safeline is located in the United States of America (USA). Our knowledge of helpful community-based resources and our understanding of youth in crisis-related laws is limited to the USA.

We hope that by reaching out to a local resource, you are able to get the support you need from an organization that understands the laws and circumstances that affect youth in your country.
