This is so important. Do everything you can to take advantage of counseling and therapy that's available to you. We have an amazing ability to cope with things, and let awful comments roll off our backs in our younger years.

It all tends to manifest later on. It might be anxiety. It might be addictive tendencies or full on substance abuse. There are a variety of deregulating behaviors that could come to be, and future you will benefit in ways you can't imagine by learning how to manage your family's mistreatment and abuse now.

Has anyone else come to the conclusion that OP might also be a little on the ASD spectrum? I didn't even really consider foot fetish until I read the comments.

Compared to others, autistics are way more likely to upset people in social situations due to simply not reading the room accurately, not dropping a subject, accidentally crossing boundaries, etc. Either way your friend's response is out of your control OP, I'd suggest getting therapy and put the work into learning how to love yourself so you don't want to jump from a balcony from the sheer pain of the rejection.

Also IBS sufferers here, the gut pain part is too real. Eating a little better, taking probiotics and improving mental state have a huge effect on gut pain.

I’m a Dad of four boys and can tell you I truly don’t have a favorite. They are each so unique. They each have great traits and qualities.

You are being treated awfully. I don’t know what else to say. If it were me, I’d never be able to forgive my parents for how they are treating. Ever. It would also be hard to forgive your sister because she could be setting your parents straight and being a friend to you and she is not.

On the positive side, you are going to be tough as hell when you get older. Tough times make some pretty strong people. Your success in life will be your revenge. Work hard in school. When you turn 18, get out and don’t look back. Go kill it. Make your awesome life your revenge.

If you need mentors, reach out to people. Ask how they got to where they are. Learn how from them and make a great life. That will make you feel that at least the adult half of life worked out well.

You got this.

Regarding the embarrassment reaction: if some rando sent me nudes of my friends or family out of blue I'd just report them. "Well yeah that's my brother's junk, did you need confirmation or something?".

This won't fit every context but hey, a lot of the people who could get it might not freak out and need a pastor afterwards.

I know I sound like a dick but I'm reading this post and it's ticking off all the boxes to get a bunch of pity and offers of presents money and attention. I don't know how genuine I think this is.

Brand new account that she wants her sister to see but was created specifically for this so it isn't tied to any other posting.

Just putting it out there, I cried a lot during my birthdays. My parent would consistently find ways to make me unhappy. I also had a huge issue with body positivity because I was overweight and my parent would also regularly limit how much I was allowed to eat and freak out when I had sugar saying I would get diabetes. I didn't start feeling good about who I was as a person until I moved out, stopped weighing myself, and decided that parents advice was unwelcome. You are beautiful and a few extra pounds doesn't change that. I read in an earlier comment that you weren't going to speak with your counselor about it, while I won't tell you to talk to them specifically I highly suggest getting all this off your chest to SOMEONE.

This is why we use Snapchat to chat and send pics... yeah, that sucks. I have had close calls where I had pictures in my gallery that I had not moved to my hidden folder, before I gave my phone to someone to view SFW pics.

Sorry OP... 😔
