Donât worry, you havenât been insensitive at all. In fact, when I was in a shitty relationship and posted about it on here, you replied to my post, and I took a screenshot of it and read it often to remind myself that what I was dealing with was not good for me. I really appreciate all the advice youâve given me. I feel as though abuse is a loaded term, and I see it more as dysfunction. Iâm dealing with people who mean well, but are misguided and express it in the wrong ways. Just like I donât mean for them to be annoyed when I talk too much. I just want connection. My dad tells me that he loves me and wants the best for me, but has thrown the other stuff on top when heâs upset. I have spoken about this to my psych, and we are going to do an appointment with them so she can talk about how they can better support me. To be honest though, Iâm tired and I think my parents are tired. I havenât spent quality time with my mum in ages, because she used to be a SAHM and her life revolved around my sister and I, and being a housewife. Moving out could definitely help set a boundary so that our interactions involve quality time.

Thatâs good, Iâm glad. Dysfunction might be a better word, yes. But these behaviours are sending up red flags and I can see youâre feeling the strain. If itâs a stable option and something you can cope with it might give everyone some breathing room. Hopefully. Just be warned if people feel like youâre pulling away from them, or theyâre losing control over you or the situation, their behaviours might escalate. ___
