my parents mentally and physically abuse me what should i do?

sometimes my mom pulls my hair
and my dad will corner me and chase me and try to hurt me
and he'll pretend to hit me ( like wave his hand at me but not touch me) so i'll be scared
my dad smokes and drinks 24/7
sometimes i cry after my mom hits me and she'll come and hit me harder so i'll be quiet so the neighbors can't hear me crying
sometimes my parents will make my family gang up against me.. like call me an ugly stupid b**** and say they wish i was never born and have my sister do the same
im too scared to tell anybody.. what should i do

Have you got a girl friend that you`d like to live with? Be prepared that it might not work, then we`ll try something else. Tell your girl friends what`s happening and at the same time their parents. Look for a potential new home, and should you find one, tell your family that you`ll report them over all that they`ve done if they even think of trying to get you back. You could have more problems in your new home, so you`d need to be very careful. Make sure it`s truly bad enough first. If you want to know, I think it is, and in which case they`ve lost all right to regard you family - you may need to replace them all, one by one.

Jasmine! I'm so sorry to hear of your situation and I really feel for you. Get help immediately please. How your family is treating you is absolutely wrong and you should not be exposed nor do you deserve that kind of abuse; mental OR physical. Talk to a trusted teacher or friend or another adult about this, or please call the kids help phone line at 1 800 668 6868 for more support (I'm assuming that you're younger based on your family situation?) Please hun, do something right away and don't wait for more answers on the internet...take action in real life, speak to someone because you do not deserve any kind of punishment like that no matter what you did. My father was a victim of abuse growing up so I seriously urge you to seek help.

And it's ok to be scared and I'm happy that you want to find a solution. Take yourself out of that abusive household....stay at a friend's or maybe a women's shelter. A counselor can also be an asset for your well-being in the meantime if there is no one else you can talk to right away. But definitely call the number too; its free and 24/7.

I hope this helped a little bit and if you need someone to talk to I'm here for you. If you need more help lines just let me know and I will try my best to point you in the right direction. Best regards!!

Hi jasmine243,

You should pick up the phone and call 911. Don't back down, don't scare yourself out of it. What your parents are doing to you is abuse and there are laws to protect you from that, even from your parents. If you dont' feel comfortable doing that, tell your school police officer.

Good Luck, keep us posted, we care.

I had a similar situation when I was growing up. Sometimes it's hard to tell anyone. You worry that you will make things worse. Sometimes you even worry about hurting their feelings, crazy as that might be! I didn't tell anyone until I was 18 and had to make an escape in the middle of the night. By then I had had 18 years of abuse! That is too much! You're going to have to do so much healing for what they've done already, why add more years of abuse onto it?
Please find help, whether it is a relative you can stay with, a girlfriend, or even the authorities. Remember that none of this is your fault and that nobody deserves to be treated this way. And stick to your guns if your parents try to turn it all around and make you feel guilty. They need to change their ways, and you need to do what you can to find safety.
Good luck to you, and much love. xox

hope this helps you some cuz i can relate.
The same thing is happening to me...ive had to deal with it for the past 13 years (ever since i was born) even though i was adopted....the first time i ever told anyone about it is last weekend and i NEED to let you know u need to tell some one ..this is what i am doing tomorrow, my friends are going to help me go to the school counceler. im going to tell them everything, i am scared to do that because know exactly whats going to happen. i dont mean to scare you but, for me this is what will probably happen tommorrow, i will tell them everything, they will tell the police, they will go to jail, and i will go live with somebody else. but i know i will be happier, cuz for the past 13 years i have been depressed. I hope you do the same, because neither one of us desereve it, but what i do know is we both deserve to be happy. We may be scared out of our minds but remember none of this is your fault. goodluck hun.its going to be hard but we will get through this. Also remember everything happens for a reason and this will make us stonger every day for when we get older.
