Search Results: acne problems

I live with my mom and stepdad, both are very republican and claim to be conservatives, but really are damn hypocrites. My mom brought my sister and I to her then boyfriend's house several times and spent the night, a few years later they got married. My stepdad is probably a clinical alcoholic but is the lesser of the evils in my house. My mother, has depression and refuses to take her meds, then lashes out at everyone and drinks and smokes away her problems. She also doesn't allow my sister and step-sisters to have opinions that differ from hers, and guilt trips me when i refuse to go to church. Simply, she's a bigot (racist, homophobic, xenophobic, holy roller, i can go on for ever). And I've been struggling with stress (to the point I have developed IBS) and depression and she tries to persuade me out of getting meds or help because it would interfere with my "all important" grades. And she obsesses over my sister's acne and makes horrible remarks when my sister isn't in the room. Also obsesses over her figure, which is identical to mine, and makes derogatory remarks about that too. She has destroyed my sister's confidence (she actually overheard our mother several times when she insulted her skin) and she refuses to go out or wear clothes that dont cover her acne spots. And I have just become more stressed and my depression has made me almost numb now. I want to leave the house but the only option i have is my dad's house and his wife who hates me with a fury like no other, also they shove religion down my throat whenever I come over. I'm athiest and have been scorned from christianity by these two women. My mother and father are constantly at eachothers' throats and dragging my sister and I into the middle of their fights. I really want to get therapy but god forbid my mom have to pay copays or take time from her day to drive me there. I'd go to my school counselors but my mom works where I go to school.
