I'm Verbally Abused I Need Advice

You know, I find it really heartbreaking when parents do this to their children. There may be nothing that you can do to change the way that this jerk sees or treats you. As far as your mother is concerned, the only thing that you can do is talk honestly with her, when jerk is not around, and let it all out. If nothing comes from it, at least she will really know how you feel and maybe you’ll get more insight as to how she feels. I think that this is very common for people that feel unaccepted to move away. It may not solve your problem and may not make you feel any better. The thing that you should be most concerned about now is your safety and your peace of mind. So if you can get into family counseling you should, you and your family that is.

Visit or call your local chapter of CAPS---Child Abuse Prevention Services if you can't talk this out with your step dad.

Dear Rainbow_Mannequin,

If you are suffering with depression and anxiety, I would talk to your mom about getting a counselor for you and possibly talking with a physician (medications can help with the depression/anxiety).  Moving away, getting married and running from a bad situation will not solve the problem.  Problems are part of us and go where we go.  You may find that you only add new problems to the old ones...that is why seeking the advise of a counselor and physician is best.  It's hard to have a healthy relationship with another individual, if we are not feeling well ourselves.  It can be a burden on the significant other and put too much strain on the relationship, causing a breakup later on.  I hope this helps.  Good luck and let me know how you are doing, ok?

Blessings,

 Hi Rainbow

First I'd like to say that i am deeply sorry for your situation, but understand this, abuse has no degrees of seperation be it sexual, physical, verbal, and/or spirtual it is all abuse and NO ONE DESERVES TO BE ABUSED.

My advise to you would be to speak to your guidance counselor, teacher, another trusted adult and /or ChildHelp USA@1800-422-4453

Please don't leave home because you turn 17 and have no where safe and secure to go. Doing that, will almost guarantee that you will not only be abused again but exploited also.

Marriage should be reserved for love not necessity. You have many issues to work through, before you are whole again. You cannot be whole for someone, unless you are whole for yourself.

Keeping You In My Prayers.

This is definately child abuse and they do have hotlines for that.  Talk to your school counselor or a trusted teacher or other adult.  Tell your mother that you want to go to counseling to deal with feelings of sadness.  The counseling is confidential (unless you are threatening to kill yourself).  No one has to know what you talk about and the counselor will have many more resources for you.   Good Luck

hey i am here to answer your question.

To be honest with you like the other people has said that is child abuse and there are numbers that you can call to get help. And to be honest with you you can get emancipated now. You do not have to get married to get that done.

I was thinking about that. But to be honest with you i would talk to your mom and let her know what he is doing. It is not easy to be out in the world at a young age trust me i have been there and i still am.

And to be honest with you running away from your problems will not solve anything. I know that also. I did it when i was 17 also. Before you decide to leave home please make sure you have somewhere safe you can go.

BEST OF WISHES TO YOU AND YOU WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS.
