My mom is always calling me and my sister and brother names and threatening to cut our tongues off and shove things down our throat and such. She never has buy she's always giving us this really mean stare and yelling at us for nothing. We are not perfect children but we are normal, and anytime we ever do anything wrong she screams her head off at us. My brother went to counseling with her but she doesn't like to go because she never does what the counselor says for her to do. She just continues being mean. And every time I mess up and try to be better she never sees and just calls me bad words and says I'm worthless because I don't do anything. Today she started yelling at all of us and she called us ugly, and useless, and when I started crying she said she didn't care. Then she said if I said one mean thing she would announce to my whole Girl Scout troop about how I was mean. And then she kept on saying how no one likes me and that my teachers said I looked sad all the time which wasn't true, but she doesn't understand that she's the one that makes me sad and mad. I try so hard to be good and I'm pretty behaved most of the time and my dad just goes alon with my mom.

Please help! And I don't want to live with anyone else or anything. And I've already tried talking to her, she just yells at me and doesn't actually try to be nicer.

How old are you and your siblings?

How old are you and your siblings?

I'm 12, my sister is 15, and my brother is 16

So she's totally evil and abusive and your dad agrees with her or at least goes along with her, but then you said, "And I don't want to live with anyone else or anything."

And the children are totally innocent, do their chores without complaining, have computers and cells phones and gaming equipment, clothes to wear, food to eat, toys to play with, a roof over their heads?

She's always yelling at me for the smarts things, and when I'm just behavin and minding my own business she will start yelling at me an go on and on. Sometimes when I think about how mean she is, I'll start crying. During the summer I cry at least once a day, maybe more. Whenever I try to talk to get and tell her how I feel, she gets mad that I'm saying that I get a little mad at her, and she starts yelling and saying she can't talk to me because I said that she is being unfair. Please help. I talked to my dad but he just said to behave an she still gets mad. I want to go to a counselor but I'm scared, and I've tried to get my dad to go to the phyciatrist.

Sometimes mentally ill parents have children. Try to reach out to safe adults, counselors.
