What can I do when I am being emotionally abused by my family?
Hey, I'm a teen, and lemme tell you this: Stop listening to these people saying you're not 'free' because you are 17. Age doesn't matter in this situation, it only matters in the eyes of the law. Don't believe these people that "you can't do anything because you're 17." Emotional abuse happens to people of all ages. People who don't go through emotional abuse think the abuse will magically disappear when you turn 18 and that everything magically turns okay. Your solution: Get a job. Get a job. I wrote that twice on purpose. Find a place you can work at and you will be able to avoid them while you work. You will be able to do all that you want to do if you have that cash.If the job isn't an option, then PLAN YOUR FUTURE!Write down what you want to do, and research it. Go to your school and ask your counselor about what you write down. GO TO COLLEGE IF POSSIBLE, THE RIGHT ONE!You will be able to come out of school in the next 4 years and become a PROFESSIONAL. You're 17 now, well by the time you are 21 or 22, you can flip your whole life around..Yes! A PRO! You can be a pro at whatever field you choose to study in the next few years! Just stay healthy and away from bad habits, bad food, and the bad people who only know how to talk trash.Have hope, have brains, and find energy to get through the turmoil to solve your problems.If there is more that is going in inside of your household, go ahead and ask quora. You'll be surprised how many people might feel the same as you.If you have to, go and cry. Let it all out. and then be like "whatever" and move on and think about what is out there waiting for you.
Am I being emotionally abused by my parents?
You already know the answer. Yes you are being emotionally abused by your parents. They will have a different view perhaps simply wanting you to do your best. Parents can fuck up too. Their strategy for parenting seems sub optimal at best for you. Failing to adapt to circumstances is not uncommon. Philip Larkin poetically notedThey fuck you up, your mum and dad.They may not mean to, but they do.They fill you with the faults they hadAnd add some extra, just for you.But they were fucked up in their turnBy fools in old-style hats and coats,Who half the time were soppy-sternAnd half at one another’s throats.Man hands on misery to man.It deepens like a coastal shelf.Get out as early as you can,And don’t have any kids yourselfWhat you need is to be able to either exit or accept this for what it is. What is it? This reflects your parents inability to deal with you on an individual level whilst trying to do their best.You might say their best is not good enough but it's their best.What it isn't is ….. any reflection on your value or worth as a human being. You are still a wonderful person struggling with your own shit as best as you are able. See you have lots in common with your parents ;)If you can't get away (age/resources etc) then I'd suggest you need to talk to them. Let them know how they are making the situation. Make sure you express your appreciation for their good intents. Ask them how they feel, what worries them?Also look at your own behaviour honestly and critically. Are there times when you are being selfish? We all get wrapped up in our own shit sometimes.
My parents emotionally abuse me, help!?
Firstly, you need to realise that it's not your fault in any way. You should never, ever never ever, feel that it's your fault because it's your parents problems. I suggest you talk to the child abuse agencies, i'm not sure what type of agencies you guys have cause i dont know what country/state w.e you live in. But seach into that, and also talk to the police. No women, child, man, elderly, deserves to be abused emotionally, psycsically, luckily for you your 17 and you the eldest of the 3 you can prevent i by sticking up for yourself, but i dont suggest you this because it may turn out worse than it already is. So what i suggest - Talk to child abuse agencieis and whats happening - Talk to the police about it Dont let it hang and think ti will go away, i've read many stories where as the case is the same as yours and the people in it arent so lucky. Be safe. devil_dill@hotmail.com if you want anymore help or moral support. :) Good luck P.s - It's not your fault that your parents are like this, make sure you remember that.
How do I stop emotional abuse by brother-in-law at family gatherings? He tries to humiliate me and succeeds.?
After way too many years of disrespectful and rude behavior by my brother in law, I finally confronted him two Christmases ago. Ever since he has tried to humiliate me in front of family members. I tried to speak with him about the fact that I have started reacting to his rude, disrespectful behavior (shutting me up at the table, etc.; mocking me, humiliating me). I said to him that we should talk about our anger at each other and that feeling angry is one thing, but acting on it is another. I stated that I don't act out to him but that I have been and will call him on his rudeness when it occurs. He is a very intellectually bright engineer, but is behaving very immaturely. I asked him if we could treat each other the way we want to be treated. He misinterprets everything I say and assumes I am insulting him when I'm not. Then he humiliates me by mocking me, humiliating me and laughing. No one ever laughs but him because it's not funny--it's emotionally abusive. Thanks.
