thank u 4 the website. it was helpful. helped me realize that my parentals have been doing things to bring me down.

they make fun of my weight and everything i say they twist around and blow it of proportion. the turn others against me by telling them how bad i am. my parentals have also called me lazy.

what i hate most is my parents calling sibs pains in the asses and making them cry and not saying sorry. this pains me the most. my sibs r becomin more withdrawn.

r these signs of emotional abuse?

r there any ways 2 get help 4 this?

This is a time I can sure say "been there, done that.:I was teased both at school and at home over my weight and handicap.

It was only a couple of years ago that I completed therapy for the abuse I took as a kid.

Please don't wait as long as did.  I shoud've done it years ago.
