Should I just run away?

Hey so Im a young adult. I do get money , but my mom or grandparents take it to buy alcohol. They treat me like shit , when I cry they hit me. I want to run away so badly , but they’re not going to even care whether or not im alive. Im so depressed and angry! So I cut myself when these things happen. What should I do?

Answer #1

I am in the same situation… you are not alone… I have been going through this my whole life… I raised my two (almost three) yr old sister and half raised my 7 yr old sister, my mother is abusive (physically and emotionally) and she leaves me to take care of her children (so I guess its neglect too), my dad kicked ME out and kept my drunky/pothead brother (he was emotionally abusive), and my uncle recently sexually abused me. I have not called child services. I know how scary and tough it can be, I have and still sometimes do cut myself.

everyone else who hasnt been in this situation: you may think it would be easy to just pick up the phone and send your family to jail. its a lot tougher than you think. this family member can be alright at times, and bad other times. as a child, I thought hitting, smacking, kicking, whipping, etc, was ok. I found out its not ok by telling a counselor about a time when my mother hit my 2 yr old sister ( at the time she was 1 1/2), and she called child services. I was scared because I didnt want my family torn up. it was already split and divided enough. I felt as if I was betraying my family, the woman who gave me life. you think it might be easy… you have no idea

anyone going through this situation, Funmail me… or send me anything and we can talk… thank you, god bless, and good luck girlie :) you are not alone

my friend was having the same problem so I told her to do one of these

1.run away to a safe place, call the cops and tell them whats going on and usually they will help you

2.go to a friends house and talk to their parents and tell them whats going on they might let you stay there for a while

3.call a saftey hotline and ask them what to do they will help you also

4.find someone you can talk to about these things and just try to stick it out until your able to graduate and get your own place to live or atleast be the legal age to leave your house without being considered a run away

5.go to an aunt or uncle or cousin and see if they can help you and just tell them whats going on and ask them if they can help you

I hope some of these suggestions work out for you whatever you do dont get hurt in the process if you do deciede to run away because there are a lot of creepy people out there looking for any chance they can get to do something bad.

That’s so terrible! Do you have any other family members you can go to live with? You should really try to get out of that environment asap. And sweetheart, you really shouldn’t cut yourself! =( I know youre upset, but that doesn’t fix anything, and you are just harming yourself! Running away could cause more problems, but you might want to call child services, like Ty said. If you have any friends or family members that you could live with, try to arrange that! And if you ever need someone to talk to, you can always funmail me! I’m so sorry you are stuck in that living like that. You deserve much better & I hope things do get better for you very soon!

Answer #4

Come to Portland and be my first roomie. I live with my Uncle and it’s not my idea of an ideal arrangement. I gotta find my own place and I don’t want to go it alone, so I invite you to escape your victimization and live freely with me in the City of Roses. If you’re interested, let me know and I will get an apartment asap!

Answer #5

I dont think you should be doing the things you do or gonna do…the best way to handle is to try to avoid them by going out more with your friends or try to get very very alone with them so they can stop being mean to you…like for example..ask them to go out and eat so you can conversate more with them..and maybe they’ll stop or do lesser doing what they do to you. =]

Answer #6

Go to the school counselor or a teacher and explain what is going on. they will get you out of there and to a better home. that way you can still finish school and life will be a lot easier on u. if that doesn’t work go to human services. hope you get somewhere safe and comfortable soon!
