I haven’t contacted a shelter because anything that results in me not getting removed from my household immediately and my mom getting contacted about me reporting her will result in me getting seriously harmed. I haven’t contact CPS either for this reason because I know most kids don’t get removed immediately and the parents get alerted about the report. I do believe that my mother will physically harm me if she knows I told someone. The counselors at my school also alert my parents that I reported them so I have avoided talking to them after what happened when I did talk to them. I just feel helpless because I believe there is no way of getting out of this abuse until I graduate. Even then, my mom plans on moving with me when I go to college. I have no clue how to cut off all contact with her even though I know I need to because she’s toxic.
