This is a hard thing to answer. Not everybody is the same and theres no one answer fits all. If you feel like there is an issue that you are unable to get past on your own and need help, perhaps speaking with a counselor or therapist can help. If you are underage, then perhaps seeking a trusted adult or someone you can talk to, can maybe put you on the right track for finding the help that you need.

You can seek help through other people and resources, try online or a friend, teacher, counselor. I mean you can't just avoid the problem if there's something bothering you it should be help. It's okay if parents can't give you that, you shouldn't give up if they can't.

The family is the most important support group, but it's not the only one. Friends, mentors, specialists, and other online resources and guides are there for you.

I have struggled with this question as well. I have found that once you change your mindset, it becomes easier to process. I altered my thoughts to "My family cannot help me the way I expect/want them to. This does not affect their love for me."

Do you have friends you can reach out to? In what way aren't your family able to help you? If you need to chat I'm happy to listen... sometimes an impartial ear helps you move in the right direction.

Its good if you can get a therapist or a counselor to help you if the people close to you can't. Its good for you to solve the issues you are facing rather than just putting it aside. Because if you put them aside they will haunt you later if something triggers it.

Look for help within friends and seek guidance counselors if under the age of 18. Also try to talk to people around you as much as you can.

Possibly seek a personal therapist, or a pastor/priest. You need someone to talk to that can relate or give you advice.
