Last night, I(18f) told my mom(45F) I needed to use the washer and dryer because I needed clothes for my first day of work and pajamas for the night. She said the dryer vent had a hole in it and I had to wait for her boyfriend to fix it. I asked if I could borrow some clothes just for the night, but she got irritated and acted like I was asking for too much. I told her it always seems like something is wrong with the washer and dryer whenever I need to use them, which made her even more upset.

Her boyfriend came into the conversation even though it had nothing to do with him and started repeating what my mom had already said. I told him, "Yeah, that's the issue," and when he started yelling at me from downstairs, I told him to stop talking to me. He responded by cursing at me and calling me names, and I cursed back. My mom then came upstairs, got in my face over me "disrespecting" her boyfriend, even though I had already walked away to my room to de-escalate the situation. Instead, both of them followed me upstairs, continued yelling at me, and called me out of my name.

After I called my mom "big-bodied" because she kept running upstairs to yell in my face( and told the entire house about my abortion to humiliate me), she kicked my bedroom door open and got into a fighting stance. She got in my face, called me names, admitted she was proud of trying to fight me, and repeatedly pushed me even after I told her to back up. After being pushed multiple times, I punched her, and we ended up fighting. My sister and stepbrother only held me back as if I was the threat.

I called the police to report that my mom had hit me. After the fight, her boyfriend approached me again, taunted me, and cursed at me, so I threw something at him. The police didn't arrive until about 35 minutes later, took a report, warned that one of us could end up in jail if this continued, and left me in the same abusive environment.

Later that night, my mom listened in on a phone call with my boyfriend and overheard me saying I'd raise her electricity bill after she removed the pet gate that was keeping my cat away from insect poison. I was worried because if my cat got into the poison, he could die. Then, this morning, I accidentally left my TV on while rushing to work, which I normally do, and she used it as another reason to go on a power trip.

She sent me messages during work. She told me she went into my room and took my TV, my air purifier (even though she made me put my cats litter box into the room so now shes risking me getting sick), She wants me to pay my own phone bill with my summer job money(even though the point of me getting this job was to save for college. Im not going to have enough funds for both). She banned me from using the washing machine or going downstairs at all even though all the food, dishes, and cleaning tools are down there.

I expressed that I wont be coming back and she’s never seeing me again or hearing from me if thats the case. I told her I wanted my birth certificate and other documents and she was planning on keeping them bc she said “technically she didnt have to give it to me”. She ended up giving them to me anyways. I expressed my disgust for her and wished her well. Now Im home packing my things but I dont know where to go. I literally just turned 18. I didnt even know what I wanted to eat this morning. Idk what to do but I cant live in this situation anymore. Its making me toxic, ruining my mental, and making me a bad person. I know im not a bad person.

(I cannot go to my dad btw, he is incarcerated and my bf lives w his mom and has to ask before I can go over there. I do not have family bc everyone on my mom’s side is dead and i was kept away from my dad’s side bc of my mom).

TL;DR: I asked my mom to borrow clothes because the dryer wasn't working and I needed them for my first day of work and to sleep in. She got upset, her boyfriend inserted himself into the argument and started yelling at me, and I walked away to my room to de-escalate. Instead, they both followed me upstairs, yelled, insulted me, and my mom kicked my bedroom door open, got in my face, and repeatedly pushed me. I eventually hit her and we fought. I called the police, but they didnt do much. Later, my mom removed the gate keeping my cat away from insect poison, listened in on my phone call, and the next morning made a big issue out of me accidentally leaving my TV on.

Im 18F and to make a long story short, me and my sister are NOT close and I do not like this girl whatsoever. I got my cat, Butler, a few months ago from my boyfriend as a surprise for Valentines day. Since then, he has been living with me and my family. I was a minor at the time and needed someone to go with me to sign forms in order to get Butler neutered and vaccinated.

She is now using that against me, took Butler to the vet without my knowledge and got him microchipped without my knowledge. I am UPSET because shes been planning on moving out and claims shes taking Butler even though HE ISNT HER CAT. I don’t know what to do because im freshly 18 and just started working so itll take time to get proof that he’s my pet. If she takes him I literally most likely wont be able to report her for theft because she has documentation for him.

I am upset and so is my boyfriend. She keeps pulling weird shit to get under my skin and im tired of it. She already has her own cat. She keeps labeling me a narcissist when we have arguments but she literally believes shes ENTITLED TO MY CAT???

What do I do?? How do I prove that Butler is mine? How will I keep him safe from her??

Hi, im an 18F who found out I was pregnant around 2 weeks ago now. I already did the hard part. Crying my eyes out, going through horrible nausea and fatigue, etc. Yesterday, I took the mifepristone first which it didnt have any effect on me for the first two hours then I began throwing it up when I got home. Im still throwing up from time to time and I hate it(I hate vomit so much).

Ive been feeling weak and out of breath but I guess thats because I havent been able to eat a lot without throwing it up. Now I have about an hour and 30 mins left before I have to take the misoprostol. Its scary because Ive not only heard a lot of bad experiences with this(pain horror stories and people who’ve had symptoms that were unbearable) but I also already have a BIG FEAR of drugs. It doesn’t matter what kind. Antibiotics, recreational(ESPECIALLY THESE), even PAINKILLERS. Sometimes I suck up this fear when I have no choice ofc but im still so scared.

Ive been sobbing for the past hour trying to build courage and confidence but I just feel like Im gonna feel horrible. These are gonna be the WORST hours of my life. This is also making me second guess having children in the future.

Any advice to help my nerves would be great. I feel alone.

I’m an 18F . I found out I was pregnant a week ago and have been dealing with horrible symptoms since then. My bf(the father) and I already made up our minds about not keeping the baby, I already have horrible health anxiety and thinking of childbirth always makes me feel like Im going to die. I AM NOT looking for advice or for someone to change my mind about an abortion or my pregnancy. Before someone asks, I did take proper precautions to make sure this didnt happen but it still did.

I made an appointment for an abortion and had to reschedule because I ended up going to the wrong clinic(I was really anxious that day and wasnt thinking). What Im worried about is my anxiety and pulling away from my close family, mostly my mom. She noticed that something was wrong and I told her that my symptoms are just results of me being deficient in certain vitamins. She believed it but shes starting not to as much now.

I feel so guilty and it feels like I brought shame on everyone. Im scared to talk about it to my family because I feel like theyll throw it back in my face and embarrass me(stuff like that has happened before). The only one that knows about it is my bestfriend and my boyfriend. I don’t want to isolate myself anymore because im scared that something may be wrong even though ive only had basic pregnancy symptoms that hasnt really gotten any worse.

My next appointment is in four days but the overwhelming fatigue, slight racing heart, weakness, and nausea has been too much.

What do I do? Do I talk to my mom about this to give myself comfort? Do I continue to let it be until my appointment? I feel the urge to pick up the phone and call emergency services but I dont wanna waste anyones time if its really nothing…i feel like a burden.

TLDR; Im a pregnant teen and Ive been pulling away from my family instead of being honest about my condition. Ive been feeling horrible physically and mentally and have been wanting to tell them but too scared to do so from fear of getting it thrown back in my face and bad timing overall. Ive been feeling nothing but impending doom and really need support. Should I talk to them?
