MY mum HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

hello, i am an only child (age 17) living with just my mum and grandmother in a council house, she has been receiving benefits since i was born, and also she works, she does get paid a reasonable amount but she does have a job, the problem is she doesn’t seem to pay for anything for me she either get my grandmother to pay and keeps all the money for herself, i have also found letters addressed to my grandmother in her room, im a bit worried about this she doesn’t give me any money what so ever i was reading on her site about child maintenance and does that mean i should be getting money I don’t have a bank account she has one and said we share it, im really worried because she does seem to keep a lot of the money and doesn’t like spending any of it even on herself, she just seems to be keeping it all i don’t understand why? i remember a couple of days ago i was at the options and he said does your child get JSA and she said yes but i didn’t know anything about this! I know ist difficult to understand the situation even today she just itching to start an argument with me, its hard I don’t know my dad she never even spoke to me about him she gets embarrassed if I talk to her about periods, so I have no one to talk to about anything like that really, you know when you know, when I was younger she sent me to this health clinic thing saying that I was a badly behaved child and that I was clumsy sometimes and when I went to nursery I cried and I liked to play with dolls and a lil shy LOL I look back now and think so are a million other kids she raised me there was never any punishment in our house even as a kid, and I member at the time her asking what’s wrong with her and they could not really give a proper answer cause there wasn’t anything wrong with me , I found this letter yesterday what my mum wrote loads of stupid thing that kids do its normal and she said I proper diagnoise would be nice!! I cant believe it, I also found an old letter from my mums m8t I think she suffed domestic voliance or something and she hates my dad so maybe she just automatically thinks ill be nasty or horrible?? thanks for reading this please email me back any advice would be very helpful, look forward to hearing from you.

If you have a local Citizen's Information Bureau, you could go to them and ask what you are entitled to. And to see a doctor, see if there is in fact anything wrong with you.
