Thanks, everyone.

It's hard when those that are supposed to actually care about you really don't. But there is good news..

I have people here that understand... kind of like my adopted family here. I'm hanging in there. This just hit me especially hard the other day. I've decided to limit my conversation with my parents for the time being. I can't continue to let them drag me down even further. They aren't going to win this time. I have to keep reminding myself that I am an adult now and I can make the decision to either let them continue hurting me over and over or to put a stop to it. I'm no longer required to obey them or see things the way they see them. I am not under their thumb anymore. I can choose and decide things on my own... with or without their approval. I'm going to stick to it this time. They aren't going to get to me. I appreciate you all for taking the time to respond... you guys mean the world to me.
