Well I was eating and I do not like peas so I groaned, my mother loves my brother the most, my sister the second and hates me. My brother hates peas so he said that he doesn't want peas so he went to the fridge to eat something else. I asked the same question and because tomorrow is a cake sale at my school my mum said she is giving me $5 so she said "I ain't giving you $5 if you don't eat your peas.". I said, "But mum, I hate peas"

I got so frustrated that I told my sister that my mum told her friend bad stuff about her, and my sister ignored me. My mum hit me really hard and I reminded my sister about when my mum pulled her middle finger at her. My mum said "Snitch, **** you"

So I ran away, please help.

You ran away, as in ran away from home and are staying somewhere else?
How old are you, and what country?

(I have to warn you, your family squabble at the dinner table is NOTHING compared to what goes on in many families, so you aren't going to get much sympathy from anyone online. But I'm trying....)

I think you are probably giving small examples of what you must be like to live with. That would be- hard to live with.

You sound impulsive and vindictive and angry, and your mother is probably at the end of her rope.

I could be wrong, and you are a little angel who would never nag about who got peas and who didn't, and wouldn't dare talk about people behind their back just to get them.

But I doubt it.

There is no such thing as a perfect parent, but there is such a thing as a parent who is just so whipped emotionally by stupid pea arguments, and petty gossip spread by a kid like you, that she's fed up, and I hope she is enjoying a break while you are elsewhere.

I do hope though, that you are old enough to be on your own, and you are safe where you are. Rent is expensive, so is food, clothing, etc. I guess when you left you figured on getting simply a new home with everything supplied for you. Or maybe you thought that your mom would really be as upset as you apparently were over stupid peas.

Good luck to you.

Where's your father? How does your father feel about all of this? How are the other two children treated.

What you have to understand is this, we only have a very small part of your story. We don't know the whole story, we only have your side of the story, and really, there's very little anyone can do to make your mother treat you better.

Having said that, if you're being mistreated there are options. You can call CPS, start reporting the abuse to them, a teacher, other adults. Keep a record of what she does to you, record if you can so you have proof. If you call CPS they will come and investigate your claims of abuse. If they're founded you will be removed from the home.

But just saying "This happened, she did this, she did that", isn't enough. Many kids say they're being abused, when they're not. I'm not saying that's what you're doing, but anyone that can help you will need more than just your version of the story, they'll need proof that it's happening.
