Hello and thanks for your letter.
It sounds like things at home have changed for you since the twins arrived and that you feel things were better the way they were. It can be difficult when things change, especially when it’s something which affects us as much as having new members of the family come along. It sounds as though you feel that your relationship with your mum has changed and that you miss how it used to be.
What would it be like if you talked to your mum about how you are feeling and told her how much the arrival of the twins has affected you? It might be that she isn’t aware how much you have been affected by it.
You told me how your mum has lots of problems and that she gets angry with you and hurts you. It’s wrong that your mum does this – it’s never okay for her to hit you, no matter how angry she is feeling. Perhaps you could talk to a ChildLine counsellor about what you’d like to do about this?
It’s really important to look after yourself and to make sure you talk to someone about how you’re feeling.
Thanks for telling me, I’m really glad you did.
Take care,
Sam
