i'm a 14 year old girl,i'm homeschooled,i only have two friends (not counting my cats)my little sister and my cousin.i only get to see my cousin on weekends but not every seeing how she actully has friends. when i do she has to come to my house because my mom wont let me go over to hers. my mom isolates me she wont send back to public school(i was public schooled for kindergarden and firstgrade)she also wont let me join anything like karate or somekinda sport,she wont even let me go across the street to play basketball in the church yard.she always say maybe next year or you need to catch up on your grades. oh really?well seeing how she never teaches me and is gone all day with her friends you would think but then again when ever you do teach us (like once a month)i always get A's or B's.i really dont know what her real reason is i mean me being homeschooled is the reason we cant move(beacuse since she's gone all day and my dads at work if we moved out of my grandmas house thered be no one to watch me and my sister)also my mom is realy mean she curses all the time and there isnt a day when she doesnt get mad about something.she's called me a ***** a b***h told me i was going to hell.wich by the way i never talk back or yell at her because realy who would want her mad.she makes me miserble and my dads to much of a coward to do anything about it,and my grandma's more of a sit and wait it out kinda person.i really wish i had a life but no matter what i do she stays the same.

Welcome!

I'm sorry about your mom. Can you find some way to talk to your grandma, make her understand that you want to go to public school? Or find some way to convince your dad to take care of you in this situation? I know you're only 14, but I think you have a right to say what you want to happen. Can you talk to someone else, outside of your family?

I know about being isolated because of your family. I've never had more than a couple in life, and I always had to go to their houses; I could never have anyone over...even now, and my brother and sister can't have anyone over. Your mom sounds like she's got a few screws loose; I'm sorry you've had to put up with that, you shouldn't have too.

thanks and belive me i try but my mom is very intimadating and throws fits if i act like my life is bad.i'm actully planning to start going across the street and playing basketball at the church despite what she says,or does that sound to stupid?i know i'm supposed to listen but it gets very tiring.also sadly there isnt anyone in the family that has ever been able to reason with her.

The situation with your Mom sounds very difficult. However, it also seemed as though your Dad and Grandma were more supportive. I would talk to them about how you feel (stating your feelings calmly and clearly will probably have better results than whining). Making on line friends is a good way to feel less lonely, but also it would be good to make friends in real life... playing basketball would indeed be a good way to do this. See if your Dad would be able to intervene for you, just on this one thing.
We're here for you, friend.

i try to talk to them but my grandma thinks we should just wait and that it would be pointless to try anything...and my dad well he listens to everything my mom says example she doesnt like his family so none of us not even him are aloud to see anyone from his side and he puts up with it he hasnt seen his parents or older sister in over ten years there not even aloud to send us presents or call...so i do try but as you can see there not the most rebeliouss,but thanks anyway

This popped into my head as I was reading this. My feelings towards my family; love but not like, if that makes any sense.
