when my step-dad moved in he took over, and he became the one who punished us... my problem with the punishment is that it very extreme... (if you want to know whatsome of them are, just ask)... and when we moved i lost touch with all of my friends, and have had any for about 2 years now... my self-esteem is now non-existent and i'm beginning to go suicidal, my mind has been pretty demented too........ so do you think i should tell someone and seek help from a professional?????

talk to your school councilor and seek a therapist, but not a psychiatrist... a therapist!

NEVER kill yourself over anyone or any thing but yes you do need professional help and state help, hope this poem helps you know that your not the only one. This is how I coped back when I was a teen. But this was just written recently. Good lulck.
Family Secrets
Why can't I let go
Of the pain of the past
Pieces of memories
Continue to last and last
Lots of resentment
For deeds that were done
Almost everyday
I just wanted to run
Dave was no role model
mostly just a jerk
He was gone during the week
That was a definite perk
Because of his job
We moved most years
New house, new area
New people, new fears
I learned not to get attached
It was easier to walk away
Eventually leaving
Was easier than to stay
I always had friends
I don't remember their names
Trying to fit in
Was a bunch of silly games
I hated changing schools
It was always so hard
New teachers and friends
Had to keep up my guard
My family had secrets
We most definity did not share
Secrets I still hold inside
I just don't know what or where

I suggest that you first sit down with your Mother and tell her how you feel. I know she loves you but your home environment doesn't sound ideal. Is there some reason that you haven't made friends in two years? We all need friends and someone we can confide in and not be afraid of being judged. I know there are people who care and want you to know that I am saying a prayer for you at this time. I am available if you would like to contact me. You are loved.

I certainly think therapy would be helpful for you. I think you have been emotionally affected by all this by carrying it with you. Remember, it's not your fault. The stepparent is responsible for these feelings. A therapist can help you sort though this anguish and severe depression (which is treatable). I think you'll be fine, I think your stepdad could benefit from some intense therapy and a good old fasion red neck a&& whoopin'.

Sounds like you already answered your own question. Your mind is telling you to "GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!" You need a shrink - LATER! Call child protective services, a minister, a teacher, a realative who dissaproves of your mom (that they dissaprove is really important!), a random nice person at school. Just get out! It will only get worse. Your mom made her bed, but you and your siblings don't have to lie in it. Call Dr. Laura S. (Sorry I can't spell her last name she is a really smart Psych Doc. on the radio nationwide. Check out her website - I think it is Dr. Laura.com Call her - she can help too!) Get out and save yourself tthen save your siblings if you can. Yor mom won't and can't help you. She is mentally dependent on a nut job. Save you. Have a prayer and go get help now!!!!

Number one: if your stepdad is overabusive, be it verbal, emotional, physical, sexual or otherwise, HE needs help and should be reported.
Number two: since you are in the receiving end of these so-called punishments, you are yourself affected in more ways than one, and you will need help to undo the scars these have done to your psyche. But do not blame yourself because the problem may truly be in your stepdad rather than you.

Yes seek help, before you lose it all. Also if you are in USA, send to talk shows like Dr Phil at DrPhil.com or OPera at Opera.com they can help you. If you are in another country see talk shows at your country.
