For years and years my mother has been verbally abusive. Before it was physical but cps has been called and unfortunately she manipulated herself out the case. Our relationship has never been good aside from when I was a baby. I've done everything to try and get her to see her wrong. I ran away, cried, I talked to my dad, my grandma, she even kicked me out and had me live with my grandparents a while. Things only went down hill and my mental health spiraled even now I struggle with it. She had took my phone for certain photos a while ago and after that I thought it was forgotten about. Again I still held animosity towards her so one day I called her out for everything. I told her straight up she was manipulative and verbally abusive. She never treated me nor my sister right. For example if my sister lays up on my dad there isn't an issue but if I do she thinks I'm trying to fuck him. She would slut shame me and call me a hoe for wearing cropped tops that aren't even short and say I'm a hoe for having one body and automatically assumes I'm trying to mess around with every hill Billy in the area. So after I called her out things got worse and she just took things I done in the past and flipped the script onto her. Eventually we got into an argument again and I said I wanted her to treat me like an adult instead of treating me like a kid. I get being protective but I'm never allowed out the house can't wear cropped tops or shorts. Can't dye or cut my hair. And even makeup is restricted. After I asked to be treated like an adults she said she wasn't doing anything for me anymore and that I would buy my own stuff including the rent for my room and my phone bill. She also said I would have to buy my own women products deodorant and everything. My dad has tried to get me to come live with him but since he doesn't have custody my mom said if he keeps trying to assert his power or whatever she would keep me permanently. I had enough I went to guidance and had them make a referral to cys. I told them specifically not to tell my mom so I could make through the plan to get out easily. They called my mom two days later. Remember how I said I got my phone taken for photos? Yeah I had two phones by the way the first one she didn't know about. Now obviously if you ask the abuser if they are abusing someone they would say no. So she said "she always does this any time she doesn't get her way. She's just throwing a fit because I took her phone for certain photos" and that made them believe her. I never got to even talk to cys. Not to mention all the proof I have is on my phone. She even made a video and threatened to post it along with photos of my room being dirty if I "disrespected her". She says it's a way of discipline and that if I keep disrespecting her she would embarrass me. Okay Ash Trevino. I asked my dad if I was wrong and he said no because he understands that I'm doing it as a last resort to get out of this toxic mentally diminishing household and try to save my mental health while I can. So again am I the asshole?
