This morning I was in bed sleeping when I hear dogs barking. My room is downstairs so I can hear them. Suddenly I heard my "mum" shouting. I know this is stupid for me to be scared but I am scared of "mother". I heard one of the dogs being hurt. I can recognise when one of the dogs is being hit. She even talks to the dogs like they are people. Dogs don't understand our language. So maybe my "mum" hit one of the dogs. She is kinda crazy.

I wonder why "mum" got dogs in the first place, if she can't control them? It is hard controlling seven dogs. Sometimes I prefer having less dogs. Plus if her children annoy her so much, why should she have children in the first place? I remember yesterday my brother said.. "Someone ate the cake". It's was my sister's cake by the way. My "mum" started hitting the table with her hands. Just for saying something? Weird.. And she told my brother that he is an idiot and that he needs to grow up. My "mum" even said to him. "Do you have something wrong with you?". Wow, just by saying a simple sentence, my brother gets verbally abused. I came home when this happened and I could see my brother was very angry. I don't blame my brother because my "mum" always seem to put us down. I told my brother that he shouldn't worry and that my "mum" might be mentally ill.

So... Yeah, My mum scares me. Even my sister admitted "mum" scares her too. Thanks for reading my rant.

I'm sorry you are afraid of you mum. You referred to her in inverted commas. Is she your real mum?

Yeah she is my real mum but she's not like a mum to me. A mum would support and love me but she doesn't.

(((((happy cheeks))))) hadn't read the forums for a little while.
You & your brother do deserve to be happy & feel safe. I don't know your age but leave when you can!
Feel sorry for the dogs too, it's natural for them to bark... We have 5 & just adore them.
You say she's ill, that's not your fault or problem. Also it's not your responsibility to try to "fix" her! I just hate it that you feel she's not a mom to you.
We are always here for you! Keep posting & informing us.
Take care of yourself!

It is normal for them to bark. But my mum gets annoyed with it too. She hates noise too. She tells me and my brother to turn the telly down when it's too loud when it's not even loud. I'm sorry I feel that way but she has done some horrible stuff to my dad, sister and brother. My mum said before.. If she had the chance to strangle my sister.. she would She even hit my sister and my sister told me she felt suicidal. She made my dad's head bleed too. This is making me a little sad. But it's good to talk about it, I guess. I remember when my mum went very mad when my room was a mess. She threw stuff and I was scared...


I try

This is flat out abuse! Have you guys considered reporting her?
This should not continue!
Let us know how you're doing.

It's shocking. No we haven't. Plus I'm scared if I did. It would be pointless to report her. I'm still fine

Sorry to hear about what you are going through. I hope you can report her and get some help. She hasn't hurt you, but that doesn't mean she won't, and she has hurt your other family members.
