What would you do under these conditions if your parents were abusive.

I have a wonderful gf, however she lives 30 mins away by car. Now if you lived those 14 years of your life, always without fail definitely yelled at for something, or possibly beaten. What would you do. If you go to family services. You lose everything, your gf, everything. If you stay... the mother will possibly kill you or eventually you will yourself. If you stay, other possible answer is, your kicked out, you die of starvation. So no matter what you do, your trapped. What do you do. Me...I have no idea, so I wanna get some ideas from other people here. and as for today, I was almost strangled/punched. Thats what is making me psot this

You are definately viewing your life much worse than it really is. It isn't that abusive of your mom. My mom has hit me, but it is for reasons to make us behave, and in your moms point of view, she probably only wants the best out of you, and she doesn't see it, and she overreacts. You are not living that bad of a life since you 1) Have a computer to use 2) Still alive and healthy 3) Have had someone to share your feelings with.

Those 3 are really good to have, and you seriously need to put consideration how lucky you are compared to millions of homeless, mentally ill, physically abused, and "used" children out there.

I am not of any of these, my life is worse than yours btw.
