Don't know where to put this so I'm putting it in chat. Honestly I'm too exhausted rn to type out a long list of what he's doing toward me but it ends with him threatening to kick me out of the house and I have no place to go. Funny enough he's pissed off a lot at me because hexbear has been helping me eat, like I'm supposed to starve.

I tried googling around for some help but the domestic abuse resources I've found are for spouses, nothing for an adult child. I guess because they think you're pathetic that you can't leave an abusive situation on your own as an adult.

    Damn that sucks mega. I have to remind myself to never give my parents the benefit of the doubt. Whenever I feel like they're better its so fleeting and they always go back to the same as before or worse.

    My mum made me feel so incredibly unwanted I would try to off myself and when she found out she actually encouraged me to try harder no joke. I have to remember to treat them with the disdain they deserve but for some STUPID reason i feel bad about it.

    Dnow how to help but I hope things get better.

      It’s fucked, we are wired to seek out their validation no matter how undeserving they are. That shit fucks you up for life too, my dad was abusive and now in my late 30s I still am out here trying to people please and walking on eggshells to not upset older men (bosses etc)

      Thanks for letting me vent. I suppose I should try calling or texting one of those domestic abuse hotlines.

        It's worth doing. They may have resources for you, depending on what exists in your area.
