Ok, so currently i live alone with my mother. I am 16 and have depression, PTSD, anxiety, and an eating disorder. So this is why I am coming to you, because I do not know if what i am experiencing is just my mental issues or if it is truly child abuse. Ok so my mom is a very nice person and she does do a lot for me. Provide me with a phone, wifi, clothes, food, shelter and has done a lot for me with schooling. She has moved me to different schools a lot because I did ask because of how badly or how stressful the school was. She does give up a lot to do things for me like stopping work to come pick me up when I ask or buying me things occasionally and in that area is a good mother. But here is where things get complicated, so she is obsessed with her boyfriend and has left me home alone many times to go hang out with him, sometimes making sure I have food and other times not really caring much. She is constantly dragging me to his house or leaving me home alone and texting and calling him. Sometimes texting or calling her boyfriend while we she is driving as well. My mom only seems to care about him and gets very upset and angry with me when I do not want to go to her boyfriend's for a few nights and stuff. Another big issue is she doesn't understand my depression. For example today i was very down and upset because it was the day after I got out of a mental hospital and she made me go to school, which by the way is extremely stressful and a huge stressor for me, and she made me go the day after i got out of the hospital without giving me some time to reflect on things and recover a little bit. Also the second after i got out of the mental hospital she dragged me to joe's house (her boyfriends house) and on the way was very upset with me because I was unhappy again. Basically yelling at me and almost ignoring the fact that I was mentally ill. She likes to say things like "well i'm under a lot of stress to" or when she picks me up from school things like "I thought we were done with this whole depression thing" or "Now i'm going to loose my job because i had to pick you up from school" she has also called me a brat and a jerk to my face quite often. Always seems to only care about herself and her boyfriend and likes to tell me that i'm messing up her relationship or basically telling me how bad her life is and making me feel like my problems are nothing or i shouldn't have them because she has it so much worse off then me. Also likes to tell me that i have it good compared to other kids and don't have any reason to be depressed. She has done all of this and so much more so bottom line is......is this emotional abuse? And if so can I run away to my best friends house, who is 19, to get away from her? Also my 19 year old male friend's mother is ok with adopting me and taking me in,so is this ok? Like would they get into any trouble for taking me in if i run away because of the situation at home if it is emotional abuse? Thank you
