My parents are verbally abusing me?

Question

Alright so I just moved to a new school and I got bullied on my first day. Very mean things were said to me and I came home crying. Dad comforted me for a while but then he just seemed to snap out of nowhere that I was worthless and should cut myself and kill myself. Mom agreed.

Later on Dad said he didn't care about me and Mom said that no amount of counseling can help me (I have depression but am allowed to get counseling sometimes but not often and am not allowed to get medicine like antidepressants).

Since I just moved I know no one up here. I tried to find my relatives addresses and such considering they live a couple states away. I couldn't find any phone numbers.

Should I sneak out to a payphone and call 911 about their verbal abuse? Mom has hit me twice but I thought it was normal for that to happen in families...

Answer 1

if your parents are like that you definitely need someone to talk to and as of verbal abuse it really only consists of sexual threats but if they really told you to cut yourself and die call emergency services immediately. If you don't have access to a phone then before you get on the bus to school or if your allowed to go out get to a payphone or go to the police station.

Answer 2

I am truly sorry to hear that your parents are abusing you. You do need to report this to someone. No one deserves to be talked to like that, and it sends me crazy when I read these kind of posts.

    Abuse has a tendency to escalate, and it needs intervention. There ought to be some kind of family services where you live. You need to find a way to access it. You don't deserve what you've been getting and your parents need help NOW.

    Social services only remove kids from their home only as a last resort. They might obligate your folks to attend counselling themselves.

     Good luck.

Answer 3

if you were abused yes, but if it was just verbal then no but if you cant tape them or get a bruse from them you got proof.  Dont try to thought, just go to the police.  Abuse is definitly a VERY serious subject and the police will understand.  If your to afraid to go to the police go to the guidence counciler or teachers.  I know you wont like telling them things and youll be afraid, but if you dont feal like saying it write it down on a pice of paper. get help and get help fast. This is a snowball effect situation.

Answer 4

first, I want you to stand up for yourself,and if you dont feel you can call someone yourself,try reaching out to a neighbor a pricipal at school.

If that doesnt do any good then by all means get to a pay phone and call 911 - especially if you feel like your going to hurt yourself

Definatly,Definatly turn your parents into your states child neglect hotline - the num,ber should be in the phone book...

Do not listen to your parents...

If you cant find a relatives phone number or address,sont worry social services and or the police can help you get in touch with other family members,,and when you talk to them,ask if it would be possable for you to stay with them for awhile if not permanatly

the way your parents are acting is not normal,and it is considered mental abuse as well as physical abuse

Answer 5

telling you to kill yourself is not right, no matter how many times you tell yourself being hit by your parents is normal it is in fact not it is domestic violence and like any violence is illegal, you really need to go to a police station and discuss this so the police can keep an eye on your home calling the emergency number will only cause the police to come and arrest your parents and investigate, question and interrogate them which when they get released would make them even more mad, but if you do the first measure and tell the police that you are scared for you safety they can keep an eye on your neighbourhood and if any yelling or anything comes from your home they can legally take you away somewhere safe as you asked for their help to intervene for your safety, at least that is the law in Australia, I'm sure the US would have a similar system.

Answer 6

That is wrong of them, they shouldn't be saying that to you at all. No matter how angry or upset they are, no parent should EVER tell their child to kill themselves or harm themselves. hitting is also intolerable. you need to report this or contact anybody you possibly can. tell a teacher what is going on, a counseller at school, the school nurse. anyone who looks trustworthy and easy to talk to. good luck sweetie. and i know what you are going through. parents shouldn't be getting drunk but it happens and when they are under the influence they often don't realize what they are doing or saying or acting. it's not okay, and you need to do somethig about it and stand up for yourself.  

Answer 7

what your saying is definitely not normal. get to a payphone

Answer 8

no not if there abuse is intentional. you should cfall the police before they do something to you. abuse gets worse...

Answer 9

I didnt quite understood what they said. you didnt state your age nor the state. but if you are too young take under consideration the social services may take you away from your family. if thats what you want - then call the police. You can also talk to them and say that you feel abused therefore you prefer to start a life of your own without your family. Just work in the evening time and rent a place. Again, i dont know your age.  also, if any physical violence occur at any time, dont hesitate to call the police. nothing is more important than you being healthy.

Answer 10

Okay, if your mother is hitting you, n your father is saying that you should go cut yourself and kill yourself? Uhm, you seriously should go to the polices, dont be scared that your gonna disppoint them, thats just very wrong. Just call the polices. You'll have a better life

Answer 11

Okay like somebody else here said call the police, and you might want to seek the number for a hotline for teenagers with depression or whatever, and try to get some counseling from a counselor or somebody at your school.

Answer 12

fon some child line or childrens aid or something
