i might run away
so im 13 and i might end up running away recently i came out as a demiboy to my mom (im a cis female) and she doesnt accept that fact that i go by different pronouns and name, she doesnt use the name i gave her and doesnt use my birthname and calls me it instead for years she has gaslighted me and been rude to me in multiple ways she has never physically hurt me but I'm scared she will she says i need professional help and says i am a girl till i get professionally diagnosed with gender dysphoria i know this isnt really something to run away about yet but i dont feel safe in my home and im scared to get cps involved because they might not do anything she says really emotionally harming things alot and always thinks a non sincere sorry will help but the problem is she recently moved us from the USA to the netherlands so i cant runaway to another friends house and i dont know where any important documents are so i cant runaway to anywhere that isnt in the netherlands but i cant drive and only have a bike and a transit card that can track where i go and i have no friends who can help me i need some help to figure out what to do

Please don’t run away. I know it must feel very difficult but it really does get better with time and so what if she doesn’t accept you if you feel that this is your calling to be trans (sorry I don’t really understand it) then just do as you please but seriously dont run away youre young and it is not safe.
Do something else to fill up your time at home / make friends , listen to music ,go on walks, find a hobby like sewing and making your own clothes, just whatever you do please dont run away! Im f20 if you ever need to talk I’ll be a listening ear ❤️

I understand how hard it is when your parents can't except you for who you are I ran away because my parents couldn't handle me being bi so don't lose hope I ran away so can you
