Do my parents care?

Darkpelt11 January 28th, 2019

Hello! I'm trying to answer a question; do my parents care? My parents figured out I was suicidal after I told my school that I attempted to kill myself after a mental break down. My parents were very upset and I had to apologize many times for telling the school and making the school let me go to therapy. I felt bad and told my parents not to care about it because they were so upset and mean to me after I told the school. The school suggested that my parents make sure I was watched when making food and stuff. Which meant no more fun things, like cooking, crafting or anything. So I just apologized and had my parents forget all about the fact that I'm suicidal. My girlfriend is now really worried for me because I told her I had a bottle of poison in my room and said my parents should have made sure I was safe and they don't care. Do my parents not care or am I the toxic person who ruined their lives by telling my school?

I once was venting a lot online and my sister in law got scared and told my parents, who sent me to the hospital for 2 days to keep me under watch and it was awful going.

Afterwards my mom came in and we talked a bit since I couldn't do or go anywhere else and I was just too tired to fight being honest so I told her about how much anxiety I have under them and she actually apologized for how she and my dad raised me earlier growing up...

I think parents do care, but they have trouble showing it sometimes because they're human too...

@WillHernandez thank you, that's very supportive of your parents. I have told them a few times but mainly just tell me I'm an awful person. But I'm getting braver and trying.
