Feeling bullied by my parents

[BookDragon]

I feel like I'm bullied by my parents.

My mom scares the daylights out of me sometimes. One moment she'll be calm and laughing and the next she'll be in my face, pulling my hair and yelling at me. She'll then say it was my fault, that I made her do it. She is constantly talking about my weight, my appearance, making a big deal if I don't wear makeup. I don't like to, the brand she uses makes my face itch and she takes my makeup if I buy any because I don't buy the cheap stuff.

My dad makes me feel worthless, because some days I can barely pull myself out of bed to go to work. He calls me lazy, tells me I'm never going to do anything with my life, I have no reason to leave home since I'm unprepared for the world. He still expects me to hand over my paycheck every payday and only gives me a bit of it to spend on myself.

I used to have self care days but my parents make me feel like I'm not worth having them, that I'm too lazy and stupid and worthless.

Sorry for complaining, but I just am so tired of being treated like a doormat.

Your parents sound abusive; you mentioned them belittling you, making you feel worthless, and even physically abusing you, which isn't ok. You do not deserve that.

Is there somewhere safe you can go? Can you afford to move out?

It's about time you stand up for yourself girl. Be calm and walk away the next time it happens again, until you regain your emotions, then try to find a time to talk to them. You deserve respect.

And no, you are not worthless. No one can tell you that except yourself, and I know you love and care for yourself because you already had a self care day before this. When no one shows you love, you know you can find from within.
