So Sorry that you've had to put up with this! Please Do not give up! i think your feelings are valid. Unfortunately i am not really sure what to suggest as sending them an e-mail may make things even harder for your family perhaps. Hugs. As sad as it may sound i'd suggest to simply ignore their actions and cut off contacts with them if possible. i think it is great that you Love your parents so much. i Hope things will improve really soon for everyone. You keep standing up for yourself and your Loved Ones. Sending many Safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @mssweatypalms, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
