How do, or where do parents “draw the line” when their adolescent or young adult child is depressed and in distress.. I don’t know
 In my case my parental units didn’t miss any opportunity to let me know I was alone in the world... I’m sorry about the negative post. I don’t think this is the right forum for this really. I think the answer is kindness and open communication. I’ve had to learn these the hard way as I know others here have as well  Sorry about the boring post, no replies needed  I’m on the Benzo bus... hello little turtle   much love to you

I’m sorry your parents were so awful! Do you think they enjoyed being cruel? Or, do you think they were clueless to the damage they were causing?
Either way, it sucks, and it is “not ok” when parents are unable, or unwilling, to love us the way we need , and deserve, to be loved. |

I think it was mostly a complete lack of empathy and “disappointment” - I’m a female. But the mother thinks females are “inferior” so that wasn’t a great start.They didn’t gather me up and hold me in their minds... A massive amount of cliches were used The paternal unit told me “we love you at Christmas”...  All of the units thought it was ok, all the abuse, verbal and other,.. that I somehow “deserved” it.. because I was “selfish”..I could write a book on it. I do know that the step maternal unit definitely enjoyed being cruel But I know that some parents are even “worse” . That’s my guilt I think, that I don’t have the right to speak And although people mean well when they say to move on, it doesn’t help me, because ... I keep being reminded... everywhere I go or don’t go. Mother’s Day cards, stuff like that.. pushing of prams....

Fuzzy, I notice you kinda continue this abuse. You discount yourself. You type things like *yawn*. I would be hurt if someone did that to me. You are kind and supportive to others but you continue the cruel indifference toward you by minimizing your own worth. Your clueless parents started this pattern long ago. You deserve better. ❤️
