I think I accidentally got CPS called on my family
I went to student counseling services to get therapy about so ongoing personal issues. They had me fill out a questionnaire and I marked the box for abuse. During the screening session, the therapist asked me about the abuse and I told them that my dad abused my mom and that my 9 year old sister was living with them. But I also said that she was never the target of abuse and that my dad had never hit any of us. I also mentioned that the abuse was ongoing. It should’ve been obvious that they would have to make a report, but in the emotional state I was in, I didn’t think about it. I thought it would be okay since I’m not living with my parents and I’m an adult and my little sister isn’t in any actual danger. But since she is still a witness and a minor, they had to report to CPS. So my therapist (she’s an intern) contacted her supervisor and they questioned me a bit more before they could make the report. I’m freaking out and I don’t know what to do. My mom is freaking out even more. I didn’t mean to cause a report. I’m scared that my sister will get taken away. My little sister isn’t in any actual harm. I don’t think it’s good for things in my family to change so drastically because it will be bad for my sister and scare her. I’m scared of what my mom will do out of fear and what my dad will do if he finds out I was the cause of the report. The mandated report was anonymous, but I feel like eventually they’ll find out it was me. My little sister is happy right now and my family isn’t always bad. And I think my family was starting to get better. I’m worried I’ve made things worse for them. I’m mostly concerned about my sister. Will law enforcement get contacted? Will my dad go to jail? And selfishly…I’m worried because I’m in college and I still rely on my family for financial support, as does my older sister. I’m worried about what will happen to our goals and dreams for the future. I’m worried that my relationship with my family will become even more broken than it already is. Despite the abuse I still had a decent relationship with my parents and I still felt love from them and I had them care about me. Now I have no idea what I’ve done and what to do….
Can someone please answer my questions. Maybe lend some advice as to what to do or what will most likely happen?
