It hurts my feelings when you.... [finish this sentence]
Act like I'm not your family, when you act like it's my fault, that my mother was pregnant before you were, when you act like it's my fault that both your daughters were born disabled and I wasn't. It's not my fault! And you're breaking my heart when you treat me like that
Don't talk to me or acknowledge me in groups. Because of you I now stay silent.
Speak as if the world is crumbling and I can do nothing to help. I feel powerless yet hope somehow there is indeed something that I can do.
When you point out everything that's wrong with me
Ignore me.
when you always have something to negative towards me.
When I learn something new about myself and you tell me that I can't change.
When I try to protect you because I love you but you always make me an afterthought.
When I do the hard stuff for you but you get upset whenever you need to follow through.
Tell me I'm worthless.
treat me like a child
