Her abuse has nothing to do with who you are. She is full of rage and hates herself and takes it out on you. She wants to control your life, but she cannot; once you turn 18, you can get away from her. I had a mother like that, and so I understand. xo

Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately, I am afraid to talk to the teachers at my school because Im either not close to them, or since I attend such a small school, word will get out to everyone. If anything, theyd probably refer me back to the social worker who made those remarks towards me. I, however, have been talking to my best friend about this because her mother is very similar to mine, so I have someone to relate to. I dont believe that talking to her will change my situation, but it at least gives me some emotional stability. I havent called the hotline yet, but CPS has been contacted before and nothing was done because there wasnt enough evidence. I will be graduating high school early next year when I am sixteen. I plan on moving to either New York or Boston to pursue a dance or musical theater major in college, and I plan on moving with just my dad. My mom keeps saying she will move with me though and I dont think I can stop her. My dad has been subtly hinting to her that it is best that she stays here where we currently live, so hopefully that will help.
