Please, I need info on what I can do in this situation.
My mother is a single mom and I am currently 14 years old. My mother in recent years has changed for the worst.
When I was little, my mother did have a drinking problem but did resolve this issue and never did harm me because of the drinking. Other than this, she had been a great mom and I loved her.
Now, recently, she's had what I feel is her going nutty with religion.
When my mother started going to a new church, she quickly became very VERY biased about religion and tells me so many insane things.
She tells me she's seen hell, heaven, that she's had encounters with aliens, and all kinds of other things.
It's gotten to the point I can't take this anymore. She's extremely biased for her religion, and says awful things about religions like Islam and anything other than Christianity. My mom has become manipulative and emotionally abusive towards me. She will change the subject when I'm angry or in need of help, she'll use her power in the house against me, she'll take everything I have away because we have differing views on religion, and she even tells me things like I'm not gay and refuses to actually support me. I told her I was gay months ago, and she was fine with it, but now it's all she can talk about.
What can I do in this situation? I know my mom isn't physically abusing me, but she's putting a mental toll on my life and I need to get away.
I've considered going with my father, since I do still see him now and then, but he lives in a different town and I feel changing schools and losing all my friends would just worsen my mental health as of right now.
What can I do about this? My mom is very close minded, and won't hear me out even if I tell her how I really feel.
