I'm new ish to witchcraft and I've heard mention of mermaids being real is that true?

Hi so I'm a new ish very very very beginner witch and am kinda still working out my practices etc. I believe I lean towards sea magic/kitchen magic and spirits in that kinda vacinity, however ever since I've started going deeper into these kinds of things I have been having the same recurring dream or maybe it's a vision type thing I don't really know but I was wondering if someone could help me decode it??

The whole dream is just me entering a beach and looking out at the ocean on a nice summer day and someone emerges from the water, it's my Nona (she passed nearly 5 years ago) and she isn't human in this she always has a mermaid tail and a pearl headband.

I've heard mermaids exist from other witches but I don't know if it's possible for them to manifest in this way or whether they're able to be like humans.

This just keeps coming back when I sleep or if I meditate I have tried asking for my tarot deck however I can't really decode what my cards mean. If anyone has guidance or anything I would love some help because it's confusing me and making me think kinda dumb things which I don't know if are possible. I am very confused and feel slightly crazy

I'm 17 and 18 in early July this year. I'm really struggling with my home life at the moment over the last while there are heaps of things that keep happening.

Firstly Chores. Over the years the number of chores we have to do and they have increased significantly as we've grown up mind you, I don't have to clean the bathroom, vacuum or sweep and mop. However, besides regular everyday chores like cleaning bedroom, making bed, fold washing, dishes and putting washing on. These I know need to be done and that's fine I understand why these are important to do daily. However, when it comes to the additional chores which change from day to day such as wiping all the windows in the house, emptying a kitchen cupboard and cleaning it (the catch with this one is if anything is in the wrong place my mum will yell and get mad) there is also things like cleaning the oven/microwave, spot wipe the walls (remove any marks off the walls), clean the range hood. There are more however it's hard to keep up with all of them on top of school and work. The punishments for not completing them have become significantly harsher as they (my parents) are now making me either do that specific chore for 3 weeks in a row or they will make you do all the chores (mine and my sister) for 3 weeks; if you get 3 weeks of both lots of chores I don't have to fold her washing and other things like her room, making bed.

Another issue I've had is continuous name calling. For context I have asd so I have asked for the r-slur not to be used at home however it is continuously used. They also call both me and my sister the C-word. Recently my parents kept telling me I'm a narcist, emotionally manipulative, abusive and its starting to really wear me down. My counsellor tells me not to take it to heart however it's hard to not take it to heart.

My parents have kind of given me this thing where every time a hand is raised, I flinch and it's at a point if someone moves forward in any manner that is threatening, I run and hide. It's at a point where the threats for things like slaps and hitting have kind of hit a point where I can finish those sentences before they even finish them. My parents do hit me, but they claim that they don't hit us kids. I'm scared of them. They have kicked a wooden chair full throttle into my sister.

They make really negative comments all the time like when I dropped one of my shifts at work because I was burning out my dad told me that I was stupid and a burden to the rest of my co-workers and that I'll be the first one fired because I'm "unreliable". They tell me that I'm lazy and not working hard enough and that I'll never be able to move out.

I was also told that I'm only getting a gift card for my 18th birthday rather than gifts because my mum is sick of my "Abuse" when it comes to gifts. I have consistently asked for my gifts to not be surprises because surprises give me so much stress and anxiety and ultimately leads to meltdowns however they don't care and they get made when I meltdown over it they tell me I'm ungrateful and abusive.

They were previously making me give my medications to my sister because she was on the same meds and it was against my will.

OTHER RULES:

\- No phones or devices in bedrooms at nighttime.

\- Have to be off device 30 minutes before bedtime.

\- Bedtime 9.30pm on school nights and 10.30 on weekends/school holidays.

\- Devices can be taken as punishment for any reason that the parents determine. Also, however long they determine.

\- No swearing.

There are more but I can't remember the rest.

I hate how much control they have they treat me like I'm 7 they don't see me as someone who is nearly an adult. I have been struggling alone with this for ages. Can anyone offer me any advice on how to get through these last few months before I can get out?

There is now a report with my countries equivalent to Cps and the report was made by my sister's counselor and my parents have kind of been guilting her for it. My counselor suggested me putting a report in on my behalf but if I do, I don't want to put through a report and then be guilted for it. The current investigation isn't going to be extended to me therefore they won't listen to my story and what I experience living at home.
I want to move out, and both of my counselors agree that I do but as of now it's the fact that I don't have the funds. In my country I can leave at 16 without consent from my parents however if the police believe I am at risk they may take me home. I'm torn what to do whether I let my side come to light especially after my mum told me the attempt, I took on my life was something that was only a "dream".

I spoke to the case worker and was mocked by my mum for taking my journal with me for the conversation with the case worker.

The case worker has now closed the case after they visited and had the cops etc. meet with my parents and everything. Life is hard here still the confinement has gotten stricter I came home today after a day out with my sister to 3 cameras put up around the house 1 in the lounge/living room, 1 in the dining room/kitchen and 1 in the upstairs hallway by the bedrooms. The rules as well have become increasingly stricter chores now need to be done immediately if they aren't you are automatically punished and expected to do that chore for 3 weeks in a row. I have said a lot recently how I don't want to live at home, they (my parents) have started telling me that if I continue trying to be "the parent" or being disrespectful than I need to leave. It is also the reason next year even though my university is in town I will be staying in the school accommodations rather than remaining at home. They've been downgrading what I feel when I say I feel like they don't care then they say they're only doing the bare minimum now. They have been withholding affection and other things they normally do that makes me actually want to live here at home.

I don't know how much longer before I lose it more severely.

What do I do? Can I do anything?
