I feel like am raising my mother

When I look at myself in the mirror, I no longer see someone I recognize, to me, I am a complete stranger now.

I promised that I would never submit myself to the situations I find myself in now, 15 years old, smoking, drinking, having sexual relations with someone who is 20 years old, I am a disgrace to myself.

Sometimes, I want to go back to being a child, to have someone take care of me and for me to simply be childish, watch a cartoon, eat a candy, not have to worry about bills to pay and a family to feed — that is the worst feeling, I feel like I am not being raised by my parents — by my mother, since my father is already gone. I feel like I am the one raising her and raising her children, and that is horrible.

I am afraid of becoming like her, bitter and throwing the responsibility of my life onto other people, God, I would rather die than one day look in the mirror and see her reflection.

My house is a ***, my school is a ***, my friends are not my friends, and my boyfriend, who is 20 years old, I feel like he is only with me because I am easy for him, easy sex for him.

Sometimes I think about trying to k1ll myself, I don’t even want to succeed, I just want to be h0spitalized for a while, away from home, away from the family that hates me as much as I hate them.

I don’t want this l1fe, I don’t want to be an adult, I want to be childish just once, selfish just once and take care of myself just once.

My shoes for going to work are falling apart on my feet, my pants are worn and torn, my school uniform is three times my size because it was donated, I could barely afford to buy my school supplies, and my mother still demands more, even when I am the one who pays her loan sharks, the house bills, she wants more, she wants everything from me.

@Bz7dornelasx "Sometimes, I want to go back to being a child..."


These are your words. Oh, how this breaks my heart hearing this coming from someone who really is a child! Granted, I know what you meant but still. You're so young. Only 15 years old. The burden of all this responsibility should not be on your shoulders. You did not ask to be born. It's saddening that you've got so much on your plate at such a fragile age. 

You're right! You should be able to enjoy your childhood. You should be able to be carefree and have fun and do kid things. I can feel all kinds of ways about your situation and circumstances but it's not my place to judge... 

All I can say is please, pretty please, hang in there. Right now you may be a victim of circumstances beyond your control... but things won't always be this way. Please don't give up. Please don't lose hope. I don't know you, but I do know that your life has purpose! You were put here for a reason! It may not seem like it now... it may not feel like it now... but there will be a day that will come and you will see all this is building you. It's giving you character! It's not fair on you to have to endure all this, but look at you! You're only 15 years old but you are soooooo strong and resilient! If you can get through this, you'll see that you can overcome anything that life throws your way! Please just hang in there. I know-- it's not always easy to hang strong and it's really not fair that you have to. It's probably not helping that I'm pleading you to just not give up. I truly wish things could be different for you so you can live a life you deserve to live and be happy. 

But I'll mention it again-- your life has purpose! You are put here for a reason! It hurts my heart reading how you feel. While all your feelings are valud and you can feel however way you do, the unhealthy thoughts please dismiss this way of thinking! 🙏 My wish for you is that you live a long long life of happiness and blessings despite how you are feeling now. If you are having these thoughts and in crisis, please reach out for help! Here you can find crisis resources! It's important. You're important... ❤️

Please try not to let all the pain and hurt of now color your world and change your core. Please don't let it turn you cold, bitter, angry... The fact you mention the ways you don't want to be... or be like your own parent... shows me just how aware you are. This is a good thing. Perhaps, deep down you really do want better and more for yourself than what you have now. Do you have any trusting adult in your corner that you can talk to for help? There's so much you're going through and you really need support. 

I'm so glad you found 7 Cups and I really hope you find this as an outlet to be a safe spot for you to just be. I truly hope you get the support, love, care, and nurture that you deserve. You deserve all the love and protection in the world. I will be saying a special prayer for you tonight. This is what I can offer you. I really hope life gets better for you and your family. Take care and wishing you all the best. 🙏🤲

I appreciate your kind words from the bottom of my heart; receiving this support means a lot to me, especially now.

I really don't have anyone to talk to about this, about my life right now or the situation with my mother and my family. It's kind of disorienting, but I've gotten used to it. I can't solve it, so I'll just keep holding on :)

You can try talking to a 7cups listener if you want , you can also talk to the ai Noni. 🫂

@Bz7dornelasx "I'll just keep holding on."

That's what I'm talking about! 💯 👏 There you go. Take each day one step at a time and know that'll you get through it. I'm proud of you! As for not having anyone to be able to talk to about all this, I hope you feel comfortable enough to utilize the 7 Cups platform and seek someone you can connect with to share. Truly being able to have a safe place to vent and offload the burdens on our hearts can help us feel better. ☆ Praying things all turn around for you in all aspects of your life!

Thank you so much for every kind word everyone is saying to me!! I have never felt so welcomed before, and I feel that this platform truly is everything that was promised, caring and truly life-saving. I will strive harder and harder to become the best person I can be now, however difficult it may seem, I have faith that I still have a future ahead of me, which will not be shaped by my family but by me, thanks to your words I was able to realize that, thank you so much!!

Hello 

I really appreciate the hard work you do and the hardship that comes with it. It's frustrating to see how we fulfil every responsibility but that is ultimately overlook and the people keep on demanding more and more 

And when that person is your mom, it really feel so painful 

Going back to being a child 

I hope and pray you get someone who really care understand and don't put all the responsibility on your shoulder and let you handle it alone 

Also about your boyfriend 

It your feeling that matter the most And you are not bad on anything 

Instead you are really strong inspirable person 

Lots of love to you 

I hope life really be kind with you 

And you become the best person so that once you see yourself again in the mirror 

You find a boy full of life and hope with ultimated possibility of growth
