Hey there . I understand your situation completely . My situation was a little different in the fact that my parents were still together but they shouldn ' t have been . it was a toxic environment whenever i was home and it took a toll on me . It didn ' t help that i was an only child either . Rather than letting the stress get to me , I decided to strive in my education because it was what was going to get me out of the house . Succeed in school . You ' re 15 . You ' re young . Get a great gpa . Make connections with teachers . They care about their students . This will propel you to college and out of the house . High school is a plethora of opportunities . Join extracurriculars and clubs . You ' ll make friends through that . trust me , i ' m awkward and i have tons of social anxiety like you do . I eventually made two of the closest friends i have through my awkwardness haha ! You have so much potential ! So do it for you . It ' s extremely difficult to come home to that I know , but don ' t take on your moms problems or home problems like they are your own . You ' re a teenager and you shouldn ' t have to worry about those things . Not now at least . Best of luck . You got this ! !!
