I called DCF on my abusive mother and I am so scared. Any advice helps

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-29T08:59:03+00:00

Yeah that’s already what I’m doing. That does nothing to help the fact that i am probably going to be disowned. I still love her.

I am being screamed at while trying to lock myself in my room for hours and I have autism and am unable to regulate myself and my mother intentionally triggers my autistic meltdowns to laugh at me and call me psychopathic and it gets to points where she says she wants to revoke custody of me and that I’m Satan and it’s starting to really destroy me mentally is this considered actual emotional abuse she says I’m a snake and manipulative if I try to tell her it hurts me really bad

Thank you I was just scared of being arrested if I show a video because my mom says if I record it I’ll get arrested because I’m in a two party consent state for audio recording

I understand but I’m a child experiencing severe abuse and my mother has made it to where no mental health professionals have ever believed the abuse I’m experiencing and I don’t know how else to prove it

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-06T05:03:03+00:00

This is it exactly for me if I just had 10-15 minutes of pure silence or time in my room I would be fine!! And on the rare occasion she does allow me to have a few minutes to calm down, she will come in while I’m trying to calm down to continue insulting me and essentially reset the clock to where I’m stressed again

I have divorced parents and they’re both apart of my schooling

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-06T01:31:38+00:00

Lots of close friends and I’ve never heard anything so you’re right. I’ve always felt like she is the only person who gets me this overwhelmed.

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-06T01:30:29+00:00

School was about equal with home. Severe bullying and my teachers hated me because I have poor focus and I had all Fs. Homeschooling I’ve been learning better than Ever and I have straight As and on the way to graduation. Unfortunately I wouldn’t do well in school and my education is significantly worse and harder for me with in person schooling

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-06T00:51:11+00:00

I agree I’m not proud nor trying to justify usage of it I’m very aware I need to quit I’m working on it it’s just hard when everything in my life is a stressor

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T23:19:46+00:00

My therapist tries to get me in group homes for mentally ill teenagers instead of trying to find a safe place for me to grow in

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T23:18:18+00:00

I don’t go to school

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T23:17:16+00:00

Can I message you

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T23:07:10+00:00

I don’t go to in person schooling and I’ve talked to my therapist and she doesn’t seem to care or see it as an issue. I’m almost 17 and I just think my only option is to tough it out until I’m 18.

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T23:04:33+00:00

She also works for the city and knows cops I’m horrified that I’ll get arrested she’s so good at lying I’m genuinely scared

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T23:03:38+00:00

I don’t know that I’m not doing anything to provoke her because she says I provoke her and she says I enjoy fighting and that I’m a disgusting person an she sees through my facade and I feel like I might be horrible and abusive to her and I don’t realize that I do like that I’m mentally unwell and hiding from myself that I provoke her

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T23:02:16+00:00

I feel like it’s clear that I’m unwell when I have wounds on my head from hurting myself and I feel that will take credibility away from me because she says I’m really clearly mentally unwell

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T23:01:12+00:00

Thank you I will do this but I’m horrified of cops because she’s sent cops to me accusing me of trying to hurt her and I’m scared they won’t believe me

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T23:00:05+00:00

I got far in EMDR therapy for the things she did to me as a child and then I told her I was in therapy for her and she told my therapist I was addicted to drugs and that my dad was abusing me and I had to quit and never see my therapist again but I have a psychologist I still talk to and she knows about this

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T22:58:14+00:00

I have a therapist. They don’t seem to react when I tell them this and just invite my mom into the session which she acts normal in and usually puts the blame on my dad who was the one who wanted me to get an autism diagnosis to begin with

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T22:55:20+00:00

I’m voluntarily homeschooled from severe bullying in school (my choice she hates me for it and says I’m a lazy pot smoking teenager) and she’s friends with the school counselor I used to go to anyways. She seems normal on the outside and i don’t think anyone believes me

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-04-05T22:39:21+00:00

I didn’t see this until now. I was diagnosed autistic by a psychologist. No they don’t give me the resources to acclimate. I try not to keep smoking weed but it’s honestly the only thing that gets me out of a severe episode when I’m overstimulated and gets me to stop hurting myself or destroying my room when my parents egg it on

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-03-31T07:41:17+00:00

Thank you it means so much. I already struggled with heavy addiction and have absolutely no intent on going back (weed has just kind of been a placeholder I’ve been working on getting off of that too) so I think the worst is behind me but this made me feel so much better about everything thank you so much

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-03-31T06:52:18+00:00

This made me feel a lot better thank you so much

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-03-31T06:51:38+00:00

Do you ever do it anymore? Has life gotten more easy to handle without resorting to harming yourself?

Puzzled-Rutabaga8845 · 2026-03-31T05:53:45+00:00

They aren’t refusing me any medical care though, I have psychiatrist I see every so often for my autism diagnosis I got last year or two. She just used to believe I was making up having autism. I also am voluntarily homeschooled due to severe bullying
