      So,.. I know this is not an easy suggestion but stop, stop talking or walk away, don't respond to their abusive words and let them deal with their situation they have created. They ask make a statement of how you are not going to discuss what they are talking about. They no longer have a right to your emotions like they used to. Boundaries.

      If you are an adult you have every right to tell anyone to "f" off! You cannot heal in the same environment you got sick in. Reach out, get out and pls pls know that you are loved, you are heard, and you are wanted and perfect just the way you are! You are not a bad person because someone says you are.

        @rottxing thank you! Tbh the problem has been that I have nowhere to go and no one to reach out to, partially thanks to them. They did lock me in my room every day after school for several years and I only left to eat or go to school. It's terrible I hate them so much

          @captain_pike just because they're "family" doesn't mean you'll ever have to carry around the obligation of treating them as such.

          @captain_pike I relate to alot of your experiences. You are a human being with the right to a better experience of life. You have every right to be angry and sad at the mistreatment and abuse you've experienced
