They never hit me. They never abused me. Nothing like that. But my older cousins talk smack about me and my mental illnesses. He even goes as far as using slurs and saying that my reason for being suicidal is dumb. Bro, your like 27 and picking on a 14 year old. He gets mad at me and my younger cousin (who tries to defend me) whenever we tell trusted adults. Then he goes on and says I’m like a little sister to him (which is why I stay, since I always wanted a sibling). All the time my dad sides with him, and gets mad at ME for being upset about it. My mom does nothing. And what’s weirder is that my dads side of the family thinks my mom is physiologically abusing me or something for constantly telling me I’m mentally ill. Both my mom and dad always make comments about my appearance, and my family talks behind my back on said subject (all in a negative manner). I am always told that my family is trying there best, but I am so done. All I can do is wait until I’m 18 to get away.

It is not ok to be ok with abuse.
Can you seek counseling at school? Remember counseling is not saying you have something wrong with you, its a way of letting someone know there are things wrong in your life.
Its a great way to vent to another living human being who has actual real world experience in dealing with these kinds of issues.
A lot of people are still taught archaic thoughts, like older is wiser, or that men are always right.
Verbal abuse is still abuse, I personally love dressing oddly to mess with people because I know their opinion of me doesn't matter to anyone but themselves.
Learning about body positivity and others opinions, like from my last sentence, are great stepping stones to breaking mental barriers of self hatred.
It sounds like the older cousin has an issue with narcissism and telling you that you are like a little sister is his way of getting you to accept him and his abuse.
Your father should not be ok with any of this.
And your mother has probably been brainwashes like a lot of the older generations and dont accept anything outside of what they see as "normal".
I hope you find the love and help you need and deserve.
My heart goes out to you.
