It's just gotten to be too much. I can't handle being around them anymore. All the manipulation and gaslighting I hate it, I can't stand it anymore.

I'm either going to call CPS myself or have a teacher do it.

I have a few concerns though. My parents may play innocent. And that might be genuinely unaware that their behaviors are abusive. Plus I got two siblings that aren't mistreated at all. My parents also might just tell me it is all in my head and that I'm delusional. They are exceptionally skilled manipulators and gaslighters.

I'm also so worried they'll act super nice and normal when CPS is called. And if I'm not removed from my house, they'll hate me so badly and I'll have to live with that.

I just want to talk about everything with a teacher but I'm sorta worried about them calling CPS. On the other hand it might be a relief.

I don't know. I'm just kinda needing advice on if I should or not.

I'm also 17, so could in theory escape soon.
