another "little" rant of mine
I wish wish wish WISH somebody understood how I feel. My stepmom is bipolar (im pretty sure), my dad gets angry super fast, nothing i do seems good enough for them. I just came back from a mental health hospital (was there for 3 1/2 months) and today was my first day of HIGH SCHOOL. My great grandmother is dying of bone cancer, and my mom has a tumor in her breast and she doesnt get her biposy to see if its cancerous until 2 days after my birthday. My parents are letting me shave again, and i always want to self harm, but im trying to prove to them ive changed, even though inside i truly havent.
UGH.
@maxisthebest Family dynamics aren't always pleasant, or the best environment to grow up in. It sounds like your situation has improved but still have some rough spots.
It's funny how stepparents can mess everything up...not that "natural" parents are always the best--no one with any sense would say that. But there's something about someone in a relationship with a partner who has a kid from a previous relationship...so often, the stepparent & the kid(s) don't get along. There are probably evolutionary/biological reasons for it.
All you can do is try to communicate with both of them, let 'em know how you feel & what you see from their behaviors. Hopefully they'll listen & think about what you have to say.
Also - don't cut yourself on purpose. It doesn't help anything.
