Help with mother?!?!

[Lisa Chanel]

I'm 16 years old, and my mother controls everything! She won't let me choose my own clothes or hairstyles, I'm not allowed to have a phone or call my friends. She homeschools me so that I can't talk to other teenagers, and she makes me sleep in the same bed as her, because she says she doesn't trust me. I'm not allowed on the internet without her watching me, and she monitors my emails. My brother moved out two years ago, and I've never seen or talked to him since because she banned me from going near him. She's in hospital at the moment for a week for surgery, and she made me stay with her for the first two nights sleeping on the floor until the hospital threw me out. I've been staying home with my father since then, who she rings every fifteen minutes on the dot during the day to check up on me. Any suggestions on what I can do to better the situation?

Your mother doesn't sound like she's doing her job being a mother.
Keeping any teenager away from being social can be very bad. You need to have your father, or grandparents, or someone talk with your mother. This shouldn't be happening. Yea she gives you clothing and food but this can't happen. We cant be right by the side of our parents every single day.

Talk to a trusted adult about this...there's nothing we here can really do but support you in your life.

Ok that is rlly rlly odd. No mother shuld make her son sleep with her in the same bed, and she is wayyyy too controlling. Does ur dad do nothing about this? If not, go talk to some counselor or something cuz that situation is crazy man.

Please reach out to someone, anyone truthfully, this is going to seriously hinder your development as an individual if it hasn't already. If your dad doesn't do anything try your grandparents or other family members removed from the direct situation or some kind of church official if you're into that kind of stuff. If not, start hoarding your money or try to get a job so you can get out of there as quickly as possible, best of luck. Maybe try to contact your brother and see how he managed to escape. I mean you could talk to her but I feel like that'd make your life worse, so just hang in there, less than two years til you're free

I only have a grandmother on the maternal side, and I've never met her. She had a massive argument with my mother years ago. I can't get a job, because we're 20kms (about 12.5 miles) from the nearest town, and she won't drive me there.

if this is true and she is as bad as you are claiming to be the first chance you get you got to go and get some help. from a neighbor or whatever. you say she watches you on the computer but you on right now right? again not all the pieces seem to be adding up here, but if you are able to get on here without her knowing, then use the computer or phone to contact the police or whatever
