Based on what you've typed here, most would not call this child abuse. For example, my parents complained about picking us up when it was inconvenient for them--it looks like she made sure your Dad picked you up rather than just leaving you somewhere. Many parents mock their teenagers perspectives, because their teenagers are teenagers and often say foolish things. This isn't to say that you were actually saying foolish things; that's just how teenagers seem.

It looks like the fact that she left you guys--which frankly trumps everything else--might be coloring your perceptions of pretty common things. That being said, only you, your brother, and your parents know what actually happened. You might want to talk to someone who's actually well versed in abuse--the internet is probably not the best place, particularly some fandom site. It's obvious that bad things were happening.

I'm worried you might think your past has to be as bad as capital a Abuse to be allowed to feel bad about it. It doesn't. You have the right to be upset. You have the right to your feelings. Crappy childhoods are common. You don't need a diagnosis to seek help.

You're very right about that. It is very hard to try and explain everything that happened, and exactly the way my mother behaved, in a little text box on Dreamwidth. I have actually been to counselling about it. I'm considering seeing one again.

I suppose I could call it a "you had to be there"-type situation. In terms of the taking us places thing -- most of the time, she wasn't busy; she just didn't want to do it. And I understand that normal parents tease their kids, and she engaged in "normal teasing" as well, but she would be maliciously sarcastic when angry.

Haha, I guess I did come to the wrong place, but thank you! Your post was very good.
