This is a bit of a vent because, damn, I'm really fucking sick of my parents (and step dad) telling me that I'm wrong, that anything that I do is never good enough. I swear to fucking god, no matter how hard I try at something, even if it is really good (a piece of art for example), its always 'oh cool, but of course the face is the wrong shape and you can't draw arms.' 'That hand looks like a lizard foot.' 'That's an apple? I thought it was an orange.'.

I know this sounds really petty but holy shit, after 17 years of being told that my opinion is irrelevant, that 'its not good enough' 'you have to try harder Emilie' 'stop being so lazy and do things like I know you can instead of half assed.'

Its like they're trying to sound like they're positively criticizing me, but all they're doing is putting me down.


thanks in advance, sorry for the rant c:

What you've just described sounds a lot like emotional abuse. I would strongly advise that you take a look at this web page below.

psychcentral.com/blog/archives…

If after reading this, you believe you are being subjected to emotional abuse, I would advise you seek help. There are plenty of resources online to access if you are being abused.

Just to let you know, emotional abuse is serious. Its affects are life long & physiologically damaging. The main reason it's so common is because people aren't taught how to spot it. Most victims don't even know it's happening to them until years later. It doesn't matter if you're being hit or not. Abuse is abuse.
