I just can't handle being brought down with there closed mindedness and the 'truth' as they'd put it, when it's just a bunch of text they quote from the bible so it make is seem their wise when they're really not using their brains to just think about it instead.

They'll only criticize and judge anyways. Or even worse just disown me like they threatened when I asked them what they thought about me telling them I had thoughts of suicide one time. They didn't care and that's enough evidence for me to know they don't love me or act like they'd care for me if I did tell them. They'll just tell me to get over myself and forget about it. They have no sympathy for me because they want all their lives to feel normal if mine would just stay normal like theirs.
