Alex's Answer

Hello, and welcome to Ask Alex,

 

Firstly, we want to say that we’re really glad you reached out about what you’re going through at home. It takes a lot of courage to talk about difficult family situations, and it’s important to know that you’re not alone in dealing with these feelings. We want you to know that whatever you’re feeling right now is valid, and you deserve to feel safe and supported in your own home.

 

Living in a household where your parents don’t get along can be incredibly tough, especially when you feel like you’re caught in the middle of their conflicts. It’s not fair for your mom to take out her anger on you through scolding and constant yelling and screaming. You deserve to be treated with kindness and respect, regardless of what’s happening between your parents.

 

If you ever feel unsafe at home, it’s crucial to reach out for help immediately. Don’t hesitate to contact emergency services at 999 or 112. Your safety is the number one priority, and there are people who are trained to help you in difficult situations like this.

 

It’s also important to remember that you’re not alone in this. The Childline team is here for you, ready to support you and explore your options with you. You can contact us 24 hours a day, every day, either by phone at 1800 66 66 66 or through our Live Chat at www.Childline.ie. We’re here to listen without judgment and to provide you with the support and guidance you need and deserve.

In the meantime, try to find healthy ways to cope with the stress you’re experiencing at home. This might include spending time with supportive friends or other family members, engaging in activities that bring you joy, or even looking for counselling or therapy to help you process your emotions.

 

Remember, you are strong and resilient, and you have the power to create positive change in your life. Don’t hesitate to reach out for help whenever you need it. You deserve to live in a safe and loving environment, and we’re here to help you every step of the way.

 

Take care of yourself, and know that you are not alone,
