I'm 22 and can't get out of my parents house because of my "problems" I think I only have bipolar because he abused me as a child and abuse can trigger mental illness. My dad thinks I'm a monster but it's really him who is. He messed me up so bad. I hope I can muster enough self love to get through this. I'm prepared to give more than I get.

I cannot understand how any adult would abuse a child, I cannot get my head around that. You are so young, and you can get your life back without your father in your life, as he is toxic in every way. I think you are so brave and I admire your strength and courage, that will see you through. Best wishes... I wish I could offer you more support because you seem like a lovely person and you deserve a lot better out of life than you are getting at the moment. *hugs*
