Does anyone else have low key toxic realtionships with everyone in their family? I knew that I needed help when I was younger with my issues, but I never said anything to anyone about it cause they were always too busy focusing on fighting with their significant other or on the phone all night going on and on about everything, ranging from work to home life. Then I would always be the "therapist" lol. But about a year ago I finally had the courage to ask for help. but the reactions weren't what I was hoping for. They all said things like "you don't have anxiety, you just want attention" or "you do nothing, how is your life so bad?" and that kinda hurt. I proceeded to close myself off again and tell everyone I was doing just fine, but I still have bad thoughts and feelings everyday. Is there anyone that could tell me how I could fix myself, or just help the situation even the tiniest bit? I just want to be normal like everyone else

My relationship with my stepfather was kinda toxic. The rest of my family has some toxic tendencies too but thats more because they are just crazy people. My stepfather was something else though. I remember one day where he didn’t let me use my calculator for my calculus homework because he thought using a calculator was “cheating” and told me to do arithmetic in my head. He’d also make arbitrary rule to inconvenience me and to try to establish more control over my life, like the time he banned me using my phone in the house and required me to put it in a basket at the front door. He was also extremely petty with me and punished me for like the silliest and minor slights. The more I think about that relationship the more I’m glad I got out of that house, because it was turning into a legit abusive relationship when I left.
