My parents and older sister always say I’m helpless around the house, that I don’t do anything but sit in my bedroom doing whatever and not helping the family. When I try to help out around the house, they turn me away saying I’m a screw up or that I’ll do it wrong, etc. Because of these kind of statements, I feel more useless around the house. I’ve always threatened that I should’ve committed suicide or that I should’ve been aborted. Is there still a purpose for me to live?

Help out as much as you can. If they reject you, then it is not your fault. Sometimes people are just unreasonable, but you just do your part.
ReplyI get that since my mother is the same way. I think the best option is maybe to try talking to them about it? I know it can be difficult, but chances are they don’t realize how much they’re hurting you with their words.
Replyfirst of all virtual hug to you. my older sister is similar to your sister. how about do your part what and when is expected from you. ask them if you could help. sometimes family do not understand what or how they are using words. in that case, try talking to them and don't be discourage of life.
