My mother hits me, lies to me, plays favorites with my siblings, randomly confiscates my stuff...I'm completely sick of it. The problem is, I don't think I have enough "life skills" to move out on my own just yet, and I severely doubt my friends' parents would let me in.

I feel so helpless.

Ah, well, I guess you still have us until you can move out. =/ Isn't sad how many abusive parents there are? Even if they are only semi-abusive.

Good luck~

Uh..isn't that called, like, being a kid? So long as you have parents, it shouldn't matter how adverse towards you they are. It'd be a lot worse without them. Lemme put it this way: without them, you wouldn't be here. Now, I don't care how much you may detest your mother and/or father; it would be a lot worse if you never existed. Sure, maybe you don't like them; sure, maybe they treat you less than dirt; sure, maybe they give you less rights than a peasant in a third world country. But it would be a lot worse if you weren't here to realise those things. I, for one, cannot imagine not being here (either biologically or otherwise...feral children are scary). I bet everyone here agrees with me.

I have the same problem, except my parents don't randomly confiscate things. They're pretty consistent about it.

However, it's just as Illegible said. You just have to, well, deal with it until you're 18.

It's normal to dislike your parents yet love them. =/ It's just a 11-18 year old thing. XD
Luckily, if my mom gives me a punishment, she forgets about it in the afternoon. I don't think I'm supposed to be on the comp right now. XD
It's life, you just have to deal with it.

Mine play favourites with my siblings, contradict themselves and always lose in arguments with me (in which they'll say, "I don't want to argue with you." when they began it in the first place). But they don't hit me. Ouch. Just try and live through it for the time being - I don't think anybody's giving you enough support - just try and stick through it. Move out almost as soon as you turn eighteen and try and lose them from your life. For a while, at least.

Or, if you feel rebellious, just don't listen to them. If they confiscate something from you, find it and take it back. If they ban you from doing something, do it anyway. All they can really do is hit you, which your mother already seems to be doing. If they hit harder, you can call the police for child abuse. It really depends how much you love your parents deep down. I do this to my parents when they get on my nerves and the worst I've had is not being allowed to go out places (as in, they won't take me places and I can't walk there myself in time). If you've got a closer relationship than you think, this'll do. But there's a chance, if you're not close at all, that they'll get rid of you. Extreme and rare, but it's happened.

Just try and stick through it - we'll try and assist you if you need any more help.

I know how doesn that feel :/ I have problems with my whole family, actually. But my mom doesn't hot me.. She shouts and.. Uh.. Yeah. I always do everything wrong, and she "always" does it right. Well.. That's just one thing that live brings on. It's hard to get over it, but when you get, you'll feel yourself free and happy, orrr.. I asleast think so~

:/ Well, if you're a teen, and they're abusing you pysically/verbally/sexually or anything, you could call Childline [ yes, they accept from teens too. :) ]

But good luck, and I hope you pull through. =]

Moving out isnt the best of ideas. The best thing is to take a look at yourself. What are you doing wrong? Why dont your parents like you? Can you change that?

Because, a care home is the last place you want to end up at...
