Running away


Question Posted Sunday May 24 2009, 6:06 pm

I recently posted a question about me mom, (link: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) and recently, it has gotten worse. Today, I heard her talking to my dad about driving somewhere and leaving me there. I really don't like her. And she got my sister to go on her side, has my dad like a puppet, and is working on my brother. My brother is like my best friend, and she is trying SO hard to get him on her side, but he is on my side. He thinks shes over-reacting as well. Well, yesterday we got into a fight, and I said I wouldn't talk to her, and she say Fine, it's like a blessing on me. So I said, You know what, for once your wish is my command. And I havn't spoken to her since.
I'm not going to talk to her, I hate her, and I want nothing to do with her. So back to this question, if I wanted to run away, and I couldn't go to a friends or familys house, 1 would they find me? 2 Could I survive?

I understand that this is a weird question, and to be honest, I don't want to leave because I have no where to go, but I can't take it anymore, I'm going to go insane unless I get out of here. All I here 24/7 is whats wrong with me and how I have a poblem, and I'm sick of it.

I completely understand and feel for you.

My mom was / is, how can I say this delicately?
Menatally unbalanced?

And I know what you are going through. You mom says things that sounds pretty cruel- bordering on if not actual emotional / psychological abuse.

Saying she wants to drive somewhere and leave you there is incredibily wrong and painful. It sounds like she's got some serious issues she's going through herself- but that still does not excuse her behavior towards you.

You need some support. (Your mom probably does too but I don't know if she'd get it). There must be someone you can talk to- school or church counselor? There are free counseling clinics all over, you just have to search for them. I'm sure there must be SOMETHING in your area.

Please check it out, or have someone you trust help you find some local resources. But the other responder is right- running away won't help.

IF you mom is rational enough and not so self-absorbed you may try talking directly to her about this. If that's not an option, then at least find some guidance for yourself.

And- if things ever escalate to serious abuse you need to call 911.

NEVER RUN AWAY.
it only causes more problems.
talk to someone at your school who can help..your principal..counselor..or a school resource officer.
but please..NEVER EVER RUN AWAY.
that will honestly not help.

There is no new, fantastic, magical option available to you hun. The options you were given in your last question are still the best ones.

Get CPS involved, or a school counselor or other social work network in your community. The situation warrants their involvement. You are being physically threatened. It's not likely you'll be thrown straight into foster care, foster care is expensive and difficult to manage for teenagers. It IS likely that your parents will forced to talk to a social worker and get some education on parenting and dealing with anger. YOU will probably get some help dealing with your anger as well, because it's almost impossible for thier bad habits to not have rubbed off on you.

This is still your best option for change. If you wont do it, then you need to accept your situation. Unfortunately, you are now old enough that if you don't try to save yourself and improve your situation, it's very unlikely that someone is going to step in and do it for you. You must take the first step and face whatever consequences it might bring on, even though the changes might be scarry and out of your control. If you don't want to do that, then things will just go on as exactly as they are, and you will have chossen them.
