my parents make me feel worthless. they’re always degrading and snapping at me. i don’t love them. they’ve been making me feel depressed since i was like, 6! they don’t understand me and disregard or throw my sad feelings into the trash. my doctor diagnosed me with depression and while we were on the way home, they said to me, “why would you tell your doctor that you’re sad? don’t tell them, it’ll just make things worse for us.” a few years ago, i told them how much i wanted to die. no one said anything. the only person in this house i actually love is my brother. he cares for me, and is always thinking about me even when he’s hanging out with his friends. at this point, i can’t wait to move out and live a life of my own– but wait! my parents said that i can’t and “who will help us when we’re really old” like ??? i can’t tell them that i want to move out or i have depression because of them because they’ll be angry at me saying i’m “ungrateful”. i really want to get away from them for a while without worrying.

You need to think about you. Stop thinking of everyone else and focus on you. Your parents can fend for themselves. I’m sorry you’re going through this but you’re not alone. Some parents are harder than others. We all have free will. Choose it and use it wisely 🙂
Why can’t you be more like your brother?
What? You’re not helpful here. Everyone is individual and their own person. He is not the problem but his parents.
Avoid any kind of toxicity in your life.You rely too much on their opinion.Choose your own path without caring about what others might say.Be strong.Best of wishes
