I'm 14 years old and have social anxiety / depression. When I was 5 years old, my father was killed in a car crash. After that, my mother continued to work as a nurse and we lived in the same house together. When I was 9, my mom and I were in a severe car accident. She broke every bone on the right side of her body and I ruptured my spleen and fractured my leg.
When we both got home from the hospital (about 3 weeks later) my grandfather moved in and brought along his pets (3 dogs, 2 cats). Flash to now, 5 years later. My mother is dissabled and can barely walk, while my grandfather still lives with us, still with all his animals. This whole area makes me think of the horrible things that have happened in the past years. And to make things worse, a relative that sexually abused me as a small child moved across the street from us, about 9 months ago, and visits my grandfather at least twice a day, everyday.
I want me and my mother to move desperately. I can't stand constantly seeing my abuser every single day. And the dogs/cats living here arent allowed outside and eliminate all over the carpet/linolium. My grandfather has taken over the house and me or my mother have no say in anything anymore.
I want to tell my mother this in a way where she will understand that moving is the best thing for me. I've told her this and she gets angry when I bring it up. I can't do this much longer, its been over 5 years and I feel like I'm slowly drowning in depression. Please, how can I explain this to my mother where she will see that it's so important to me? thanks

Welcome, prodigyx911. So sorry about what is going on. Does your mother know you were abused? If your mother will not listen to you, is there someone at school you can talk to about your concerns? Perhaps a counselor could help you talk to your mother about how bad it is for you?

Good luck.

Hey bro,

You seriously need to inform someone, if you haven't already about the abuse. Especially your mother. But if she won't let you tell her, tell a teacher, school counselor etc. It will take alot off your chest.

We are all here to support you!

My mom denied that I was sexually abused when she found out. She said she thought I was making a joke. If your mom won't help you ask for help at your school. You deserve to live in a place that is safe and clean.

Yes do seek help from a school counselor if there is one at your school. also do tell your mom, she needs to know what you are going through. . . . I know u want to move. . . . Talk about it too your mom, tell her how disturbing it is getting for u. . . . i'm sure she will understand. . . . may god bless you. . . .
