I don't want to hurt myself, but when my parents stumble into the house after three hours at the bar and the first thing they do is tell me I am useless.
No hello. Just "You are completely useless. Can't even get off your fat ***"
Despite the fact I actually got up, unlocked the door, yelled three times it was open. Their drunken stupor couldn't figure it out.
They make me hate myself.

Here's a thought. "They" can't make you do anything. It's your choice how you feel. I am sorry that they come in like that.

They sound pretty toxic.

and next time they call you useless, you show them a picture of me and say "no, HE is useless".

It's hard, but we need to try to be above those who would tear us down.

atomicc........you are not useless! There have been more times than I can say where I've read your posts and felt relieved, that I was not alone in how I felt, that there was someone out there who understood, and could even offer words that gave me courage to try again....even when 'try again' meant 'start over....again'......

I know it hurts, how they treat you, and how they speak to you. But please be assured........they know absolutely nothing of what and who you are.

You are wonderful.

Atomicc, I'm sorry your parents are not supportive and are hurtful. You don't deserve that treatment that is about their inadequacies. You have to hold on strong to your true self. Don't let them define you. You deserve better.
