It is so unfortunate to read stories like this.

Just know that you did nothing wrong. Your parents are 100000% in the wrong. Parents should treat their children as equals or at least not have obvious favoritism nor be abusive.

My advice is continue with therapy and talk to them about how to improve your self esteem. You can’t change your parents behavior but you can learn to love you and to continue on; you do not need to keep them in your life once you are adult. You can create your own family. Find people who want to be in your life- who love you and care for you.

You need to advocate for yourself: Ask school counseling if you’re able to get college courses while in high school to try and get ahead of the game. If not, how soon can you start working and how to keep your money safe? You need to think of your future- uni? Community college? Work? Get as much resources you can to make an informed decision.

As for your sister: honestly she is a victim of your parents and I hope she recognizes how messed up this is. But you don’t have to convince her.

Unpleasant_1 OP t1_j645c3s wrote

It does read like an excuse. It started of as a joke cuz it was funny for my friends to go "whyyyyyy", and became a basis for new jokes as i posted more.

​

Eventually it became fun to think of new and ridiculous ways to use feet in a funny manner so you are right in saying that its not ironic.

​

I should probably stop tho as the results of a long term cost benefit analysis proved that its only ruining my social life more

I’m so angry for you, OP.

You are worthy OP! Don’t let these people get you down.

I promise you’re worthy.

I also have twins, they’re 5. A boy and a girl. I promise this isn’t normal, and it isn’t you. It’s them.

Could you safely talk to your sister about it?

Make an amazon wishlist!

Happy Birthday and screw your shitty family. Your sister is even worse for allowing it. Figure out what you want to do in the future and figure out how you will need to achieve it without your families help, cause you know you won’t get it. Loans, scholarships, job, car, etc. Don’t let them bring you down or distract you. Be cautious if they change their attitude when they see you doing what you need for you. You let your guard down and they could destroy what you built.

As many others have stated already, you're not in the wrong here. You must be going through a very hard time and I'm sorry for that. Hand in there, life does gets better. Talk to your counselor about this so you can get these feelings out of your chest and start to heal. And, no matter what, remember: always be kind to yourself. None of this is your fault. Here's a virtual hug for you, and happy birthday!
