How am i supposed to deal with my crazy family?

Question

Okay, so here's my situation. Im 13 and my mom is insane, she is self centered and self righteous. She is always having huge mood swings and blames me for everything that has gone wrong in her life. She uses me for her personal shrink and then screams at me for not listening to her properly. She is convinced that she is the center of the universe. She refuses to take responsiblity for any of her actions and claims that anything bad that happens is anyones fault but hers. Also when anything good happens she says its her doing. My father is ok, but i don't see him that much cause he dosent live with us and hes more like a person i know than a dad. He also has some drinking promblems and he spends most of his time with his gf, which im fine with. My brothers got some promblems and were not very close and my other brother and me aren't close either. All my friends are fake and would dump me for someone more popular in a secound. I just feel like crying all the time and i wish i were dead. People in my family know how to twist the knife and i cant take it anymore. Im trying to take some time off to forcus on getting to a better place but everyone is giving me a hard time. They look at me like im a freak because i want to home school because i cant deal with other people right now. What am i supposed to do? i want to run away but i have no where to go. Please help me!!!

Answer 1

Yeah i agree it sounds like you have a lot to deal with.Maybe try and find someone to talk to at school or a family member that is not crazy!?I hope you can work this out before you end up worse off then what you sound.Life is to short for someone as young as you to be this sad and miserable.I feel sorry for you cuz i have been there,but I left and had to grow up really fast and i don't wish that on anyone I don't think home school is a good idea if your mom is that bad.I didn't like school or have many friend either but it was the only place i could go to escape my house.

i know how you feel, i'm in a similar situation except i used to have a great life and amazing friends but my mom decided to move us across the country and i have 5 bitchy sisters! it sucks. i just stay in my room all day and listen to music. try to find things that you like doing, mine is listening to music, and just try to get through the days. sorry im not much of a help but i didnt know if you wanted a cheesy "join some extra-curricular activities or focus on your grades" kind of answer. cause the truth is, when teens like us are depressed, we dont wanna go and pretend to be happy, at least i dont...

well i wish you the best of luck, and dont worry, your not the only one

try finding someone to talk to like an teacher who is important to you. try finding some after school activites that help you meet new people and do something you like, for example i was in the colorgaurd of the high school marching band and they ended up being my second family. i know its hard but you have to find some help because being able to talk about your problems will help solve some of them.

first and foremost relax.. i kno u probly think u got it worse than anyone, but its not tru (sum1 always has it worse)... theres answers to everything, but u gotta cooperate with time, time is very important now... running away is not the answer, wishing u were dead is also not the answer (u know that as well as i do)...

theres different things u can "try"... 1. there still ur fam, u have to b there for them in their time of need, and whether u believe it or not, ur mom and bro need u... its easy for me to say that u seem to be the only normal (i dont mean anything bad by that) one in ur house, u gota stand up and be that person, u kno? u gota try diff methods, and lets stop there for now

msg me for any further help
