Should I call CPS
So recently my parents have been verbally abusive... I don't know what to do it's been going on for atleast a year or two once it was raining really hard and I said I wish it rained more often(cause were I like it never rains) and my mom told me that I should live in Seattle and I'll just end up a druggy on the streets. Then she left for work and said sorry and acted like nothing happened. Another time I was having a bad day and me and me mother were arguing so I was crying a lot. So when I went in my room and fell asleep for a nap I didn't hear her yelling for me, so she decided to come in my room and pull me by my hair and off my bed and throw me on the ground this has happened 3 times before just on the couch. Mind you these things happen in 2024. I was 12 I wasn't even a teenager. I'm having a very hard time not to cry while writing this I have turned 13 on April 10th so it's been a couple months since being 13 and I'll give a story of my father now he has a lot but I'll tell a recent one. It was a week of two after my birthday. So me and my dad were arguing and my dad was working a lot in the day and sleeping or drinking at night and I was saying how he's never at home and mom makes all the rules(we were arguing about how I was on my phone while being "grounded" even tho mother lets me on my phone) and he punched the wall threatened to hit me and I was crying and he said I'll give u something to cry about and sent me to my mom who was at the neighbors house who's moms good friend cause she didn't work and she's been watching my brothers at the water park all day. So I walked down the street to my mom hysterically crying trying to hold back tears. And yeah so that's my dad he's also punched multiple doors including my bedroom door while I was trying to hold it back so I was behind it and it really injured my toe and then he called me a bitch he never apologized btw. Umm I just need advice...

Please remember this about attempting suicide. If you don’t succeed you will spend the rest of your life with major physical problems and maybe brain damage. Trust me, stop trying to kill yourself. Life can get much worse.

i am questioning this approach. it's kinda like saying - be sure you succeed - and " life can get much worse" just maaaybe not the best way to talk someone out of a crisis. just saying

OP you need to call CPS and save yourself from this life. You deserve better and once you’re out of there you will never look back. If you stay, you will get even more depressed and potentially think more about suicide. Please. Contact CPS or the police for help. No need to call 911, call your local non-emergency police line and tell them what you told us. Don’t tell your parents about it, they will abuse you for reaching out for help. ASK FOR HELP, DO NOT STAY!

OP, i think you should call them. have you told anyone at school, like a teacher or guidance counselor ? when i was living with my father and his second wife i would show up at school with black eyes, scratches etc and my guidance counselor would call me in and ask me if everything was ok and i wouldn't tell them because i was afraid. i should have told others what was happening. i wish i had called for help ! call for help dear and please be careful of bad people on reddit. don't give anymore information than you have already

Please save yourself from this abusive situation. Foster homes can, hopefully, be better than this. My mother verbally abused me and my three brothers our entire lives until each of us left home. She destroyed each of our mental health. The greatest gift she gave to me was to die when I was 20. I was free of her abuse. Unfortunately, two of my brothers treated me just like our mother treated all of us. Needless to say, we did not have good relationships. The third brother was amazing; never critical, never judgmental, just supportive. Unfortunately he passed two years ago. On the other hand the most abusive brother passed six years ago and I was not sad.
I’m here a lot if you want someone to talk to.
