Family
Life has just been on the roof lately for me especially growing up and being that young girl everyone loves and knows the girl who doesn't want to be on this earth anymore especially since I was little I was a very social girl And very confident as I grew and grew life has been very challenging my family had terrible problems like pills and smoking weed and especially with my mom she's trying to do better I just wish things were different its like worrying for her especially since she's got problems going on I just don't want that one day she decides to overdose and especially my step dad so my real dad ran away to Texas and do my step dad(my uncle) stepped in I really thought he cared but he was emotionally and mentally manipulating me into thinking stealing my mom's prescriptive medicine was ok he would say i was. Traitor and I didn't love him and he would steal money from my mom and we were struggling with that and.. it's been completely ruff especially with my mental health as well my older brother we were once so close and now he has become a different person since foster care and I can say the same for me and my other brother. But in foster care I was molested I was mentally emotionally drained and tired of life. And everything hasn't been the same and especially with my past of bullying I was tourmented it got very serious I had to go to crisis and everything I also had to stay in crisis twice because I wanted to kill myself and I was injuring my self and I'm in foster care currently and I wanna be with my family even if it wasn't the best I still miss them and I don't know why it hurts so bad. When I miss my mom and step dad even though he hurt me the way he did and especially my mom. One day it got serious he stole money from my mom it got into a fight my older brother tried to stop it my mom started hitting him and he pushed her and said"Stop I'll fucking kill you and she looked scared he went on to the backyard and then my mom went into the kitchen and started crying she had cut her self I was able to prevent her from killing herself and my dad had just been different and I guess that traumatized me bc I still think about it and the only reason I wanna go back is because of my brother's.. but just idk it's just been to much.
It sounds like you have been are are going through so much. That is a lot for one person to take. I hope you are getting therapy for everything you have been going through. If not please contact your caseworker for support.
I understand that you want to be with your family but if you were removed, it was for a reason. Hopefully your mom is getting support and you Uncle/Step-dad is getting help too because it sounds like he could use it too.
If you are ever feeling suicidal please contact 988 it is a crisis and suicide hotline. You can always reach out to 2ndfloor too. We have an app, or you can call or text to 888-222-2228. Please reach out for support.
Hi! I just want to say I’m really sorry to hear about all the hard stuff you’re going through. It sounds really tough, and it’s totally okay to feel super overwhelmed with everything happening. Growing up with so many ups and downs, especially with family problems, can make you feel really sad and confused.
It’s really brave of you to talk about how you feel. I can tell you really care about your mom and your family, and it’s hard to watch them have a tough time. Just remember, you’re not alone in feeling this way. Lots of kids go through similar things, and it’s okay to feel worried or sad sometimes.
It sounds like your stepdad hasn’t been nice to you, and that’s not fair at all. You should feel safe and loved at home. It’s also really hard when your brothers change and aren’t the same, and that can hurt a lot.
If you haven’t talked to a grown-up you trust or a therapist yet, that might really help. They can listen to you and help you with all these feelings and family stuff. Remember, it’s important to take care of yourself, even when everything feels really hard.
You’re doing a great job just getting through each day, even when it’s tough. Keep asking for help and talking to people who care about you. You really deserve to be happy and feel good!
