my parents mentally abuse me I feel like I am a mistake sometimes I want to end my life there is only so much I can take I cant even talk to my parents anymore without feeling hate towards me it seems like they are better off without me

how old are you? is there anyone you can talk to that you trust about this?

hugs xx

I am 20 and I have no one to talk to about it

I am happy to listen if you need to vent but I think maybe finding a help line or someone you can trust and knows the situation may be better. Feel free to add more details about your situation if it helps you, im sure people here (myself included) will do our best to give advice.

What sort of things do they do that make you feel bad?


Have you sat down with your parents and explained things, how you feel.

"Mom, Dad, when you (do/say) ______, I feel ______".


As a parent myself, I can honestly say that I know I say and do things which make my child feel bad, but I don't do them intentionally or don't realize I'm doing them. I'm constantly reviewing my actions and still trying to learn. If there is something that bothers him and he was to tell me, I'd definitely try not to repeat it. If you don't tell us, we may not know. Sometimes parents just don't know better, we can be pretty dumb sometimes. Parenting a 100% an on the job learning experience.

I'm not trying to excuse your parents, just giving my perspective/experience as a parent. If your parents are doing it because they know it bothers you, that's definitely a problem with them and that's not OK.

There are no excuses for how your parents behave towards you. In fact, your parents are expressing problems with themselves at you because they see you as an "easy target" of sorts.

Abuse is never the victim's fault.
