My family kinda sucks

September 9th, 2016

So growing up my family had a lot of issues so I figure I might just talk about them a bit. Might be a bit dark or something so warning for that.

A bit about me I am about 18 and fresh out of highschool. I have multiple mental disorders that are offically diagnosed but my family chooses to pretend I dont have them as I was late diagnosed. I'm living with my mother atm.

My mother is probably the biggest issue. She both ignores me and pays too much attention to me. Shes neglected me all my life and ever since 5th grade or so I was expected to make all the meals in the house as well as clean everything and I still am. She constantly screams and blames me for anything she can taking every chance to call me things I dare not repeat causing a lot of self esteem issues and such. She constantly yells that I must want her to die because I'm terrible to her and once she even pulled a knife and said she would kill herself infront of me because thats what I wanted. It still really bugs me and I remember it whenever I see a knife.

my brother has Bipolar and anger issues so Mom has always treated him like hes made out of glass and gave into his every demand. I grew up with him hitting me a lot and constantly being terrified of him. I seen him break alot and attack alot of people or myself growing up. Now en days he threatens to kill me If I don't do what he wants when he gets mad and I'm honestly scared of him.

My dad is okay, he and mom only yelled to talk but he mainly kept to himself.

I'm really sorry you've had to grow up in this kind of enviroment, I'm sure it has affected you a lot. It seems like you're pretty aware of everything that is unacceptable that has been going on, so that's good! I'm sure you will soon be able to leave that stressful enviroment and be able to to work a little on yourself and your healing. Thankfully there's a lot of people online who know exactly what you're talking about and have gone through the same as you have. Good luck and take care !! Oh and feel free to contact me if there's anything you'd like to discuss with me smileyyes

hi so sorry that you have to go through this. Have you tried contacting your local family abuse organization? If not try the police and they can come for a quick check up? what do you think? I had a friend who is going through almost exactly what you are going through but at a much younger age, and in the end we had to contact police. Even then, nothing happened, so keep trying Have a think

Cheers,

Jaide
