Is this abuse?

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to us here at National Runaway Safeline. It takes a great amount of bravery to reach out and tell your story so we just want you to hear this. From the sounds of things, it seems that you are going through a really tough time with your parents and having to deal with your mental health. Just know, having to tolerate this sort of physical and verbal harm from your parents when they're mad is not okay. If you were considering looking into an abuse report, this is always an option and we'd be more than happy to walk you through the steps. Just know at NRS, we are always here to help 24/7 and you always have a safe space to talk by chatting us at www.1800runaway.org or by calling 1-800-RUNAWAY as we are completely confidential and anonymous. Alternatively, if you would like to use a different resource, Child Help works with making abuse reports and helping those with abusive parents. You can reach them at www.childhelp.org or by calling 1-800-422-4453. Finally, if you were looking to explore more on your mental health, NAMI is a great resource, and you can reach out to them by texting NAMI to 741741. Please do not hesitate to reach out to either of these resources for help.

We hope to hear from you soon,
NRS

So i’m 12, and i have severe ADHD and anxiety and depression. it’s summer break and i’m really distracted all the time, causing my parents to get mad at me. and when i say mad, i mean MAD. i get yelled at every day and sometimes get hit on the head very hard. i love my dad, but i can’t do this anymore. i don’t wanna go into detail on here because i don’t feel comfortable talking about it.
