Re: I feel bullied in my home

[(Anonymous)]

Uhm. To be honest, it sounds like there's a lot more going on in your life than just your parents riding your ass.

I really don't know the scope of your limitations, or how much you've been conditioned to believe that you can't leave the situation and how much of that is objective truth, or even to what extent your perception of their treatment of you really is bullying or not.

With all things being equal, I think you maybe need to understand that as a grown individual, you have choices.

You can chose to leave, you can look into federal aid programs to support you (especially for colleges, if you're over 23 and/or independent, the government uses your salary rather than your parents to determine aid amount). Most college campuses have great support systems for disabled students.

But to put things into perspective, in spite of your problems, this is nowhere near as bad as it could be. Yes it sucks to have two people whom you love very much making you feel devalued, but you also have to understand that a certain amount of your behavior is totally under control.

For example, I've had some amount of emotional problems from brain damage since I was a child. This tends to get exacerbated when I'm under a lot of emotional stress, especially when I'm leaving my parents. However, I understand that I have control over how I affect others, so I moderate my behavior so as not to hurt them.

If you feel like your problems are not under your control, then maybe your parents' assessment of your capability to work or study is unrealistic, and you should probably seek medical evaluation. They could probably provide you with more options.

If you're not working or in school, then you can totally fill out applications all day long. While I was working for my parents 14-17 hours a day, I still took the couple hours break I had in the middle of the day to fill out job applications. It scared the shit out of me sometimes, but I definitely did it.

Nothing is hopeless. You can do this.
