<font color="blue"> i'm sorry that you are in this situation *hugs* to you. it is not your fault and there is nothing wrong with you. unfortunatly our parents need an outlet for their anger and hurt, and sometimes it is us. it isn't fair, and i'm sure it has nothing to do with you. hang in there, and know you are not alone. may i make a suggestion?.........try writing them a letter, say everything you need to, everything that has ever bothered you, everything you have ever felt about the way they have and continue to treat you. even if you cannot bring yourself to send it, getting it all out on paper can help. good luck to you. you are in my thoughts, and more then welcome to talk with me anytime....or e-mail....tinybabyrex@aol.com .......xoxo -babyrex </font>
