My mom is terrible, I am a 14 year old girl with two sisters that I am constantly compared to. This morning I was kicked out because I didn’t clean up something small immediately. I was busy and had just woken up, she had ignored my texts and me telling her exactly when I would clean it up. She does this frequently, whenever I tell her exactly what time I will do something if it is not directly on her schedule she will say ok and then immediately realize what I am doing and become verbally and mentally abusive. I don’t know what to do, my father says that I have created the environment and that he will begin to file documents to send me into foster care, right now I am packing my bags knowing that it is illegal to kick a 14 year old out. I have nowhere to go and my sisters also believe that I am the issue. Today and in the past I was continually spanked and had stuff thrown at me including liquids such as wine and water, cups glass and plastic, and I have been told that I was a mistake and that they never loved me. They won’t listen to apologies What do I do??
