Currently I am a fourteen year old living with their parents, both biological. Im worried because if i call CPS and im just over-reacting that things will get worse. But on the other hand, if I dont contact CPS im scared that my grades, my mental health & stabilty, and just overall safety are going to be compromised.
My mom expects me to do literally everything. I understand that we live in a smaller house (a trailer) but she expects me to clean the entire house, everyday, without flaws. Mind you, I just started my freshman year of highschool and im struggling with covid and grades a lot. Which is another thing, my mother yells that im failing because im always on my phone, therefore she threatens to pull me out of school. The reason im not doing well is because I can not work at home and there not be some sort of difficulty. Between balancing chores, doing homework, attending meetings on days im not at school, and my mental disorders, its just not possible for me to not struggle. Ive gotten to the point where I just want out of this house. I feel like i cant live like this anymore. Its so mentally draining already, and when i try to tell a parent about it they just end up getting more verbally aggressive, passive-aggressive, or subtle gas lighting. A lot of this too are my mental disorders. I have been diagnosed with Tourettes, ADHD, Depression, Some sort of anxiety disorder, and a few other things which makes day-to-day life a struggle already.
I honestly just need someones advice. I dont know what to do anymore, Im underage, my parents are always ¨perfect¨ around everyone else so most adults dont believe me. Im just really scared, I dont want to leave my state/school but i dont know how much more of this i can take.
Sincerely, Fn.
