My mom hates it when I close my bedroom door too loud, this midnight, she was so mad. Guess what happened next… She would blame it on me to the police… That was too far… Yes, it is my fault for closing my door too loud but why would she punish me by reporting me to the police? It really made me cry and think about not celebrating Mother’s Day in 2 days… It would be nice of you if you add a helpline… I really need to talk to someone about it…
Hi @IAlwaysNeedYou,
That sounds like an incredibly difficult and upsetting experience. Feeling punished so severely over something so small must have been really distressing, especially coming from someone you love and trust. It’s understandable that this situation has left you hurt and confused, and that it has made you question how to approach Mother’s Day. Your emotions are valid, and I can see why this would weigh heavily on your heart.
Family conflicts can be emotionally exhausting, and when tensions rise, it’s easy for things to escalate in ways that feel unfair or overwhelming. You shouldn’t have to carry this weight alone. Reaching out to someone who can listen, understand, and support you might help bring you comfort. Talking about it with a trusted friend, mentor, or professional can provide perspective and reassurance that you’re not alone in this.
If you need someone to talk to, please know that help is available. In Singapore, you can reach out to the Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) by calling their 24-hour hotline at 1767 or visiting their website: https://www.sos.org.sg. They offer emotional support and can provide guidance during difficult times. You’re not alone, and your feelings matter. Take care of yourself, and if it feels right, reach out for support when you’re ready.
Best regards,

I’m sad to hear that you’re going through this. What you’re feeling is valid, and I’m glad that are reaching out.
It’s understandable to feel hurt and overwhelmed when a small action — like closing a door too loudly — leads to such a big reaction from someone you care about, especially your mom. When emotions run high at home, it can leave you feeling isolated, confused, and even scared. Please know that your feelings matter, and you deserve to feel safe, heard, and supported.
It’s okay to not feel ready to celebrate Mother’s Day, especially if you’re still trying to process what happened. Give yourself permission to feel what you feel — it doesn’t make you a bad person. It means you’re human and navigating a difficult moment the best way you can.

Hi there,
I am so sorry that you are going through this. I hear you and understand that your relationship with your mother is strained, given that things have escalated to this extent.
Do refer to the helplines provided by @HanSolo2000 and @CaringBee for further support.
Feeling unsafe in your own home can be extremely daunting and draining for you. So please make sure to keep your close friends/teachers in school in the loop as well, in order to have other sources of support to reach out to in case of emergency.
I hope that things get better for you and sincerely wish that you can have peace of mind at home. I also want to reassure you that you do not have to feel obliged to celebrate/make a grand gesture for her simply because mother’s day is coming up. Respect goes both ways and is earned, contrary to the norms you may have been accustomed to, and you ultimately do not have to feel guilty about your decision. Stay safe .
Hi there,
It sounds like a painful and distressing situation. We all sometimes have our loud moments, and accidents happen. We shouldn’t be punished for them, nor should we be taken to the police for it. It’s understandable that you needed a cry and feel confused about mother’s day. Affirming that these feelings are valid and they matter. You matter!
I think the people on this thread have shared some hotline resources. You’re not alone <3 I’m glad you are looking for people to talk to in this difficult time, and even though you shouldn’t be in this situation, you are showing up for yourself and trying your best to take care of yourself emotionally. I’m really proud of you for doing that
Hey, I get how you’re feeling, I don’t even know why she would report you to the police, you’re so young and all…it’s okay to feel this way, remember there’s at least 1 person in this world that would love you, sending love, hugs and well wishes!!!
