I attempted to open up about my the abuse by my ex only to be snorted at and told it can't be abuse because he lives so far away.

She's in an abusive relationship herself but you can also see she tends to think that it would be better to be abused than alone.

I like the girl, she just isn't the most sensitive of people.

It's like every time I turn around there is someone there waiting to tell me my feelings (and by extension I) don't matter.

From the people in the doctor's surgery who told me I couldn't possibly be cold. (Turns out I had the flu and was running a rather nasty temperature.)...

...The school principal who sat me down and said in such an understanding manner; "I understand there are problems between your parents because of you."

...The court mediators who ignored the fact that we were in this situation because my father had given me a black eye and instead focused on trying to fix my parents marriage.

...The doctor who called me an *** for trying to kill myself, despite knowing nothing of my history.

...The psychiatrist who refused to listen. Who insisted that I didn't know my own feelings.

...To the boyfriend who told me he loved me and then in the same breath said my feelings don't matter.

They've all reinforced what my parents have instilled in me.

How does one over come negative self thoughts when all they seem to get is negative input?

As a child I attached to the abusive parent. That says something. But what? And about who?
