I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time with your parents. Feeling unheard and unsupported by your family can be incredibly hurtful and raise a lot of questions internally. While wanting to understand why this is happening, is part of the journey, I do agree with what has been said above. Prioritizing your mental well being, is an absolute must in such situations.

It's important to have someone to confide in, even if it's not your parents. This could be a trusted friend, a teacher, a counselor, or a mentor who can offer you a listening ear and guidance. If you have family around and have any adult you trust, you could try reaching out to them. While they could play the role of a mediator between you and your family, they can also be a much needed support system for you.

Sometimes writing down your feelings can help, even if you don't share it with anyone. Journaling can be a way to process your emotions and gain clarity on how you feel and what you need. If this is something you haven't tried before, I highly recommend giving it a go and seeing if it works for you.

If conversations with your parents consistently lead to hurtful remarks and negativity, it might be necessary to set boundaries. You can calmly let them know how their words affect you and that you need their support and understanding. This should be the case for everyone, not just your parents. It is absolutely unfair to you to have to listen to remarks and comments which affect your mental health and setting boundaries will really help with that.

The situation you have mentioned, I feel might be overwhelming and seeking professional help might help cope with it in a better manner. It will provide you with strategies to manage difficult family dynamics while also ensuring you take care of your own mental health.

Remember to take care of yourself. Engage in activities that make you happy, whether it's hobbies, exercise, or spending time with supportive friends. Wishing you the very best!
