I called dss on my mother when I was 13 and I hate myself for it
What were the circumstances?
I was tired of her bothering me.
Doing that out of spite was terrible. It is good that you feel bad about that because you should. Apologize to your mom if you haven't already.
Why would I do that? It makes me feel good to see that she worries about me. If you were a mom, you'd understand.
I'm a father, and I'd be devastated if my child reported me to the Department of Social Services because he was mad at me. I'd feel I'd failed in making him feel our home was a safe where he could express his hopes, dreams, and frustrations with me.
