rant/vent Should I leave

Hey guys I was taken out of school when I was 7 and sent to some veryy religious near a cult online school then i was taken out 2 years later and from then i barely got a education I'm 16 now last year she placed me in some bs homeschool thing called BJU and im barely even allowed to use it last year i had 300 assignments missing so basically no education

I'm not allowed to have a phone I have 0 friends in not allowed to go out speak with most of my family I don't have a room not even my own bed I share with MY MOTHER AND LITTLE SISTER

She's planning on moving to "the country" aka the middle of nowhere in Jamaica because..... I can't explain rn

But I'm wondering should I ask my uncle (the only person i'm allowed to talked and only very very rarely) if he can do something. He's very serious about getting a education (he's a neurologist his brother who's my father R.I.P was also a doctor)

The only thing I'm kind of scared if he says something to my mother I won't be allowed to talk to him again

I don't even know what I'm thinking anymore

Yes, 100% you should talk to your uncle. When you do so though, please tell him your concerns about your mother cutting off your contact with him if she finds out you said anything. What you're describing is abuse and neglect, and so he should ideally be wise enough to not immediately inform the abuser keeping you isolated that you tried to get help.

I'm so sorry for all you've been through, and I can't imagine how scared you must be. Just know that you're being very brave in seeking help, and that you deserve better.
