Just echoes...

Ember, from what you posted here I can tell you're a very strong person. Your life right now isn't exactly peachy ; far from it.

Living like what you have described and being treated that way must be very painful, physically and emotionally. But the simple fact that there is something that holds you back is admirable, wherever that feeling comes from , pride or hope, or maybe even love for your family in spite of everything.

And I do think that, in reality, what's holding you back is a combination of all of those things. And maybe even fear of leaving your family , (again) in spite if everything that already happened. It is not true that there is nobody you can talk to. Heck, if anything, all of us on this website are here for each other. To be helped and help through listening to each other.
In my own experience, just knowing you are sharing your problems with someone that's listening to you is helpful. And there's people who would care about you outside of this forum too. Authorities that are involved in fighting child abuse are always there and there's others too.

You haven't mentioned whether you have any other relatives you can talk to like uncles or aunties etc, but if you do I'm sure they'd be happy to talk to you. It's not true that there is no way you'll become a published author, that's definitely not true. Because the two things you need most are determination and talent. Talent you already have, and determination ... You do have it, but you just need to find it within yourself . And I know that inside you feel suffocated, and depressed and helpless .

But trust me, there is always a way out of every problem, because everything has a beginning and ending . It's only a matter of finding the right thing for you . And you might not think so, but I feel like maybe deep down your mother still loves you, no matter how hard that is to believe. You don't deserve to be treated like how you are, nobody should rip your hair out or harm you emotionally - but all of this must have begun somewhere. I can't help but wonder, if you'd try to talk to your mother, what she would say about why she treats you like that. What other reason she would give, besides " because you're a witch" , which , really, isn't a plausible reason/ excuse, as not only are you most definitely not a witch, but also because it is using an unjustified insult as a way of justifying .

Your siblings seem too young to understand any of this. They've known you for their whole lives, but that isn't that long if we think about it. They take what they're being told at this age as a fact because they have never known anything else. If your mother told them you're a witch, they cannot help but believe its okay what's going on with you. But they do love you in their way , don't think they don't.

The conclusion here is that for now, you've come to the right place. Don't let yourself be swallowed by the negativeness of your situation, even when it seems more overwhelming than you can possibly deal with. Take care . You are not alone, I promise. Things will get better, especially if you reach out .
