I don't think you are asking much and I hope you can convince them to listen, parents can be great allies I think. I hope you can get through to them.
At this point I've given up on them helping me or offering me any kind of support. I don't even want them to understand, I'll take whatever I get, even if they lie to me that they understand, it's fine. I know I sound desperate, but it's so frustrating when I can't even have a decent conversation with them.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother, maybe because my mother would want to know what I'm going through, but apparently not.
