help! i am verbaly abused by my mother. what should i do?

Question

i am only 14

Answer 1

How old are you? If you are still in lower education, speak to your school counselor. It may help to simply have someone to talk to about it, to help you find ways to not let it affect you, and to find ways to deal with her.

If you are college aged or older, then limit contact with her and find a way to move out. You may also find it helpful to seek a counselor or therapist so that this doesn't affect the rest of your life negatively.

Good luck to you. : )

Answer 2

Since you are 14 years old, talk to a school counselor about your situation. You need somebody to talk to so you have a better way of dealing with the verbal abuse that is coming from your mom, and to also make sure that you won't think negatively. Once you said what you have to say, have your mom come in and have the counselor tell her that she is being verbally abusive. You need to tell her that as well. There could be a reason why your mom is being verbally abusive. I hope my advice helps you and I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 3

Yeah, that sucks, I had to deal with that too. You can try reporting it as abuse but it may not help. Worst case, they'll remove you from your home and place you in a foster family or group home- is that really what you want? They can't make her stop unless they arrest her outright.

So here's my advice- find a school counselor, or teacher, or someone at church, someone you like and enjoy being around and who sees all the good things about you and isn't afraid to encourage you. Be around those people as much as possible! And it may sound cheesy, but you know in your heart that your mom isn't telling you the whole story. Write down the things you like about yourself. Look at the list whenever you're feeling bad to remind you of the things you like about yourself. Get involved in a new activity and do things you're good at. If there are things you don't like about yourself, find a way to change. The power is in your hands.

Answer 4

i grew up with a verbally abusive mother so i know what u're going through. u can try talking to her but i doubt she'll understand; u'll get the same answer i did: if i don't tell u what's wrong with u how will u know to fix it. i can't tell u how much damaging it was---is--- to my self-esteem( i'm 23 now). tell an aunt, an uncle, ur sister, ur grandma, a friend, a friend's mother... tell anyone u feel comfortable with. if u can't find anyone, then call child protective services and they'll send someone to talk to ur mother. if it makes u cry then it's still abuse even if it leaves no bruises. don't let her keep doing this, u deserve so much better ok. = )
