Canders,
I'm sorry to hear about all you are going through. It is so hard when the ones who should be supportive aren't. It's good that you have this friend who seems to be there for you unconditionally. Try to accept his caring, and know that you do deserve it.

I would confront your parents and tell them how much this is hurting you and making you feel bad. I don't understand why or how someone could make fun of anyone, whether they have a disability (mental or physical) or not. Maybe opening up to them about your hurt and anger will make them realize what they are doing is damaging to you as well as damaging to your relationship with your family.

I hope too that you can really open up to your therapist and let her know what's going on. I used to treat therapy more like a social thing, and smile even if I didn't feel like smiling. Now, I have learned it is not benefitting me in any way to hide behind a mask.

I hope everything works out for you, you deserve to be surrounded by supportive people, and you deserve lots of love. Please keep safe and keep posting.

Love and Best Wishes,
Zen
