Please tell me how to get help...?

I can't stand living in my house anymore. Today I told my mom that it doesn't feel like Chistmas for some reason, and she freaked out and said she's going to throw me out of the house. She said a lot of other things too, about how she hates me and I'll never amount to anything. She says stuff like this all the time...it's driven me to be suicidal. But I can't get help for it :( I want to, but I can only use the computer when she's not home - it gets locked in her closet when she is. I'm not allowed to make a phone call at all, and she disconnects the phones when she isn't here. My closest family lives about 5 days drive away - and I don't drive, I don't know how to. I'm afraid to run away because they'll send the police after me. But I'm so scared...I don't know how much longer I can spend in this house. I understand this probably isn't the best place to go for help but the website I normally go to is down...

    I would suggest talking about this to someone from your school. See your academic adviser and see what you can do from there. When my father was abusive, I told the school and they would help us out. They gave me free lunch because we had money problems at home. Also, see a social worker if you can (ACS helped out sort problems out). Or call the police if you want. My mother called the police when my father was being abusive and he was literally kicked out and not allowed back in. The problem with you is I'm not sure if you have another guardian to live with. Are you only living with your mother? You have to ask yourself, do you really not want to live with your mother anymore? Do you love her? If you don't want to live with her and you don't love her anymore, it's time to move out. It's going to be hard because I don't know what kind of job you have and how you're supporting yourself because you can always dorm at the college and live there. But is your mom playing for your college or are you paying? It's tough! You can email me if you feel like asking for help or more advice, I'll listen. Also, as for your close family, couldn't you just call them to pick you up because you're afraid and hate living with mom. You can get a train or flight ticket and meet there at the other end. I'm afraid for you because your mother is your guardian and living by yourself amounts to a lot of expenses.

    I don`t know how old you are but alot of people has left a home like that determined and they became very successful. You need to talk to someone at your school,job or someone somewhere to help you get away from that type of household. If you don`t get away something bad could happen.DO NOT LET FEAR STAND IN YOUR WAY. You do the right thing and make your mind up you don`t have to live like this and God will help you to do everything you need to do if you pray and ask him for wisdom,to do the right thing in the right way
