Hi there,
Thank you for your message and for telling me about what things are like for you at home. You mention that you feel like you can’t talk to Mum and Dad and that you feel really depressed. You say that all of this is making you feel like you really want to run away.
It sounds like things are hard for you to cope with at home and I am concerned that you feel like the only way out is to run away, but it is important that you keep yourself safe. Your Dad should not be calling you names and you deserve to feel respected and listened to. You have been really brave to look for help with how you are feeling.
You could get in touch with ChildLine and talk about your feelings, and what it is like for you to not feel listened to. You could also talk about your relationship between you and your parents. A ChildLine counsellor will be able to listen to you and could help you to think of ways that could make things better at home. You could also talk to them about your feelings around wanting to runaway and how you can keep yourself safe.
You can contact ChildLine for free by phone on 0800 1111 or sign up for a ChildLine account and have a 1-2-1 online chat or send an email to a counsellor.
Take care,
Sam
