mentally abused

Re: mentally abused

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to post to us here at the National Runaway Safeline.
It sounds like you are not sure if your parents are mentally abusing you or not. This is something that we cannot decide for you, but one thing that we can provide you with is more information. https://www.childhelp.org/ is a website that can provide you with more information about what is defined as abuse and how to go about reporting it. It is great that you are trying to figure out what is your next best move.
We want you to know that we recognize that it takes a lot of courage to reach out. We hope this information helps. If you feel comfortable you can give us a call and one of our trained liners will be happy to talk to you more about what is going on. 1-800-RUNAWAY
Hope to hear from you soon.

im 13 and i dont know if im being mentally abused by my parents. They use fowl course at me all the time because i forget to some things like chores and its only sometimes they make me feel bad though. My teacher said that its a teen thing and parents shouldnt yell at their kids they should just take away something valuable. My mom one time did call me fat but she was drunk and i dont think she remembers. But one of the early things she did is when i told her i was using her makeup and told her it was in my bathroom. my room was clean before this then when i came home my room was trashed and a note saying "next time you use things put them back now lean <:<" and i wanted to know if this is mental abuse.
