stress & emotional wellbeing

My mum has been acting strange since I opened up about being sexually harassed by a friend and struggling at school. Instead of supporting me, she’s been ignoring me. This isn’t new—she’s been abusive and neglectful before, and CPS didn’t help. She keeps buying junk food and I’ve been binge eating badly. I feel stuck, with no real support from family, school, or CPS. Any words of advice is appreciated as idk who I should go to.

    Hey, I’m so glad you reached out. Sounds like you are in a tough situation. Something few people will ever know. Sounds like your mother is not very supportive, I can understand that you might feel isolated sometimes when people are not ready, like they haven’t dealt with their own shit, when seeking empathy, they usually turn it around and Weaponized it. That insecurity hurts others, most often those closest to them.

    I’m guessing you are the mature one in the relationship with your mom, I’m sorry it’s so unfair for a young person to have to go through that. What’s been the response like from your school? How open have you been about your situation?

    ty for responding! My school have been trying to support me but they don't get how much this feeling has been eating at me and recently I got into a messy situation with another student and when we had a restoration they sided completely with the other student and ridiculed me without understanding my perspective and the fact I'm already going through alot. Which is why I feel like nobody is actively listening to what I have to say

    Uhg. Sometimes it feels like life is ganging up on you from outside. I’ll listen, care to share anything about that specifically or what people seem to be misunderstanding about you and how you feel?
