Can a therapist or psychologist take you away from your parents? Please help

Question

I get verbally abused & sometimes physically abused by my drug addict/alcoholic mom.She calls me fat, ugly, wish she never had me, abuser, phsyco, no one likes me, loner, stupid, teachers hate me, f****s, stop eatting all my food I pay for it, stay out of the kitchen, all you are is a fat piece of lard, wish i never had you, c*nt, loser, go back in your dungeon (i stay in my room), and that's ONLY things I can put here. I can't even say all the censored words she says.. Every name in the book basically. She even through knifes at me.. Says she wants to murder me.. So I don't know what else to do but cuss back at her...

I never go outside because she SCREAMS and the walls are paper thin everyone can hear us. And I'm afraid of the looks I'll get. I'm afraid everyone judges.

I have a lot of behavior problems at school she uses this against me all the time...saying the teachers don't like me, and I'm a L*****n because I talk about a specific teacher a lot.

I think I have Bi Polar or anxiety stemming from my past...In the past month I have used drugs and alcohol (something I said I would never do considering how I saw how my mother acts)but I needed something to help me get away from this.I take the drugs from my moms stash and she obv. doesn't know & I don't want her to know.. I do it to Help me get away from all of this depression I have. I really would like to go to a therapist or psychologist. I'm only 14 almost 15, would I be able to go by myself??? Because there's NO WAY I am going with my mother. Also if I tell them all this, will they report it to CPS and will I get removed from my mothers house?? Can I go to a live in rehab program without my mother so I won't turn to drugs and alcohol even though I'm not addicted to it???

Answer 1

Yes, your school is obligated to provide you with a psychologist, so you can ask your guidance counselor about that.  Your parents won't have to know.  Also, if you tell the psychologist or counselor that you're being abused, or if they even suspect it, they legally have to report it or they could go to jail.  The rehab thing is the only thing I'm unsure of... If you did go, you can go without your mom.  You're old enough now that I don't think they can really share medical information or mental health information with your parents without your consent, be it verbal or written even though you're not 18, you're still over the age where your parents have the right to know everything.

Answer 2

You can be taken away, yes, but it won't be to a rehab. It'll most likely be a foster home or group home. If you're addicted to something, then yes you could go to rehab, but I'm really not sure that you can go as far as not being addicted.

And yes, they have to report it, it's the rules.

Answer 3

Go to the cops and they will call child services, they will take you outta there before your mother would even know you left.

Answer 4

I think only a judge can take you away from your parents, based on the advice of a social worker. You don't mention any signs of bipolar disorder apart from substance abuse, but I get a sense that both you and your mother have this illness. Start by going to your school counselor with this, he'll send you to a doctor and a social worker.

Answer 5

i had a similar situation with my dad. i finally told my best friend one day and i ended up living with her for a few months. i now have a restraining order on my a*****e father and live with my mom about 1000 miles away. they were divorced at the time but she has helped me through so much these past 2 years. if you don't have another parent, i wouldnt really reccomend foster care- it can save your life but it can also be worse than where you left. if you have grandparents, aunts, or family (especially ones far away) that would be a good place to stay. if not, try to find a family friend or someone you know and trust to take you in. if you can't think of anyone talk to a teacher, counselor, or police officer- basically any athority figure. i'm really sorry cause i know where youre coming from. i honestly hope you can get outta there.
