i am sorry you were treated so bad, it was emotional abuse. i am thankful my parents were pretty good parents, all 11 of us, me being the 2nd eldest, had to be a parent myself to my brothers and sisters, who were worse than my parents to me. my parents deserve medals for what they did for us. some of the rest of the family don't agree with me but they were very good parents and my bros and sisters can't see it yet, i think they were spoiled more than myself. we were poor, but got needs met when due. well not always but i still appreciate their efforts. i love my parents and feel bad for people on this forum when i read their stories about being mistreated, it makes me feel more thankful for mine. i can't even read sme of the peoples posts here about mistreatement because i'll almost cry. i love you all and am concerned. i hope you all can deal with it and have someone to talk to about it, even if it's just here.
