irresponssible mothers


Question Posted Sunday July 24 2005, 2:30 pm

im a teenage girl who truly hates her parents to death. They've both cheated on each other, and not just once. They dont think or care about me or my careless little 9 year old brother. They have me in the middle hoping i'll pick or protect one of them, and they've said no matter who i pick, i'll still lose one of them and wont get to see them ever again, but their both literally whores. Worst thing is, i suffer from severe depression, and i cut myself, sometimes to much and sometimes to deep, i've taken 2 overdoses, but have ended up getting the pills pumped out, i might as well kill myself, but i've decided to go 2 my home country, the Dominican Republic, to do high school over there, i no i shouldn't be trying to escape my problems, but it's better than commiting suicide, wat else can i do? Can someone please help? I dont think im a freak, just misunderstood. Please write back

Well it sounds like your in a tough situation. Have you tried talking to a counselor? That helped me when my grandmother died. Or I think they may have hotlines for divorced parents. Maybe look on the internet to see if you can find anything. Remember, your parents love you no matter what. Good luck! Hope I helped!

First, try not to harbor too much hate and resentment towards your parents. They're not bad people, but they've made some pretty bad and irresponsible choices in their lives, and probably don't know how to deal with the ramifications of the consequences themselves. Still, it doesn't sound like you or your nine-year-old brother should live with either of them, they're very irresponsible. If they ever physically or emotionally abuse you or your little brother, call Social Services /immediately/, they'll be able to get you out of that situation and living with either a relative or an adoptive family. One of my best friends was adopted because he was living with irresponsible adults, and his life has improved beyond measure.
Now, no matter how bad it is, and how hard it is to deal with reality, cutting yourself is definitely not going to make you feel better or help you solve anything, and neither is taking pills. I would suggest getting involved in activities you like to do, sports, or reading, or anything else you're interested in, to take your mind off of things. If you're on medication for the depression, I would stop taking it. It's been clinically proven to actually increase suicidal thoughts and depression, rather than helping anything. Remember that there are always people that you can talk to, and that will understand what you're going through, whether they're your friends, another family member like your grandparents, aunts and uncles, or cousins, or even the people on this site. They'll want to help.
I honestly think that going to the Dominican Republic to do high school is a good idea, if it means getting away from your parents until they can sort out their problems. Who would you be living with, or are you old enough to live on your own? Sometimes a change of setting can be a good thing, and you can leave a lot of problems and stress behind and kind of start over. It's not really running from your problems, as there's not much you can do stuck where you are.
Just try and cheer up, you've got a whole life ahead of you with glorious opportunities to pursue. Always remember that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Hope I've helped!
Love,
Nevaeh

I'm really sorry the best thing to do is just to go and live with some one else! Do you have a relative or friend you could stay with if not you and your little brother could get adopted by another family! But I'm sure you could stay with a family member or a relative that would be my number 1 choice! Ya thats really bad about your parents and not caring about you and your brother. They need to go to a physocologist (I'm not sure if I spelled it right) but ya they sound like they need some serious help! Cutting won't solve anything hun your just hurting yourself and what good is gonna come out of that! Just breathe, relax and be prepared for some change after you do something about your problem! Hope I helped!

First, you have to tell one of your trustworthy adult. it can be a teacher to your best friends parents. because if they are doing that, they seriously need counseling, and i know what it feels like to go your self and cut because i have done it my self, but it doesnt do anything and it leaves scar. some scars last forever and it will reminds you of the horrible times you had.

and if they seriously do that and doesnt get any better then Screw them. Dont let them Effect your life. It is at one point where they should take care of you, but if you are older then 16 then you should be able to decide what you want to do. and if you can get a job and become successful then go for it. but do not quoat me when things get bad... because its only my OPINION.

anyways... most important thing is DO NOT LET THEM MAKE YOU FEEL BAD.

and if you do drugs and injure your self and let them see that you are hurting, you are giving them what they wanted.

so dont let them win and try to talk things first before you take in to action and if you are seriously in need of getting away from them, then try to talk to your school counselor about a program where kids are taken under one of the teachers, when the student's parents are not in position to take care of after kid.

and my school does that and probably your school will too so try that and for your brother too.

his young. he cant do as much as you can so you should probably get him a place to stay.

and hope i helped
