Today, i was in session with my counsellor/therapist and confided in them about how my mother has occasionally hit me when we argue. They mentioned how in certain circumstances, she would have to report it to child services, but as i am 17, it would be difficult. At the time, i didn't give this much thought, but now i'm panicking (and have panic disorder) about whether child services are going to turn up at my door. Is it a good idea to try and ring them tomorrow? I really don't think my situation is so severe that CPS needs to get involved and i think it would only ruin my relationships with my parents and any trust between us. Any advice would be helpful, i'm stressing out!
