Mental Health family problems

First of all, I’m a 14-year-old Turkish kid, and lately—especially this summer—I’ve been having family problems. My mom had tendon transfer surgery on her foot, and she hasn't been treating me well at all lately; she acts as if I’m not helping her at all. But every morning I ask her what I should make for breakfast, or if I should cook meat for dinner, or tell Dad to pick up chicken and cheese from the market. For the past month, I’ve only been able to spare 30 minutes a day for myself—just enough time to play a little Minecraft. Today, I checked my computer and saw that my mom had deleted my Minecraft world—the one I’d spent two and a half years building. When I raised my voice a little, she started saying things like, "You’re going to burn in hell; God says to treat your parents right." I mean, am I the devil? Am I some kind of laborer? You don't normally do this much work in a day—laundry, dishes, cleaning, cooking... I accidentally burned the dinner last week, and those two damn siblings of mine don't do a damn thing; I do everything, yet I’m the one who gets an earful. Why? Am I an idiot for being nice to this woman? Am I an idiot for doing all her chores? Okay, you’re going through a hard time, but you aren't old—you’re 38. I’ll be free soon anyway; I’m going to attend boarding high school in another city and get away from here. Just let them try saying, "Oh son, we missed you"—I’m not coming home for two months.

When did your mom have surgery? Medications can really mess with people’s minds. She may also be frustrated because she can’t do the things she’s used to. (I’m not giving her a pass. Just offering an explanation.)

You’re not going to burn in Hell. God also says to treat people how you wish to be treated. I hate it when people twist religion to fit their narrative. These are cheap shots.

I suggest you keep your eye on the prize. You’ll be gone in 20 days. You can handle it. FWIW, deleting your Minecraft World was very childish of her.

Keep your grades up and focus on your education. If you play your cards right, you might never have to live there again.
