My parents, for whatever possesses them, mentally abuses me. It's a hard thing to say, something that I feel guilty for saying because, what if I'm wrong? This is probably blown out of context. My parents verbally assault me when they feel the need to, when I'm already emotionally drained and unstable. They hide their abuse through presents and money, "We just bought you a laptop, so don't say we don't love you." I want to leave so bad. I don't know what to do, they neglect my emotional needs and I have no way of coping other than a school counselor who only listens and nods. I'm so scared of them, more than one should be of their parents. I panic when someone says they'll tell my parents what's been going on with me, because I know what I'm in for. They denied my access to hospitalization, despite my clear warning signs and suicide attempt. I don't know if any of this counts as abuse or I'm just crazy, legally, I don't even know if I can escape.

I have a friend almost lover still getting to know one another stage and I discovered he was diagnosed with ADHD when he was kid but is okay now and not taking...
No, you're not crazy. Far from it.
ReplyYou are being verbally and emotionally abused. Presents are just like a bandaid for it. If their behavior dont change your feelings wont either. If you want hospitalization call 911 threaten suicide. You'll get it for 72 hrs and get whatever help you may need. No youre not crazy btw.
Replydon't worry ...
there is a saying you cant change others but for sure can change yourself, so that the world became more pleasant...
still just for once try to put yourself in their shoes and think about it..if you still think the same then just follow your hear ...its the only life you have so treat it as a pleasure there isn't need to attempt suicide just because of a thing ...
make yourself more valuable
ReplyI am so sorry to of your circumstances as it is not a nice position to be in, from physical experience. However mine was much different from this, I may not have the best advice to give you but i can give you what I personally think is right to do in your situation. Do you need to think about how far you want to escape, to the point where you never want to see them again? Or where you want them to know your pain in the hope that they will help you. If you able to reply to this then I will be able to give the assistance that I have available to give you.
ReplyI did a project on emotional abuse, and I'm pretty sure I'm emotionally abused too. But I always feel like "what if I'm just being dramatic?" and maybe I am. That's my biggest fear, but that thought could also be there because of the abuse. I don't know anymore.
