Oooohhhh no. Don't do that to yourself OP.

Say it with me: you have a right to ask for help. I mean it. I've read most of this thread and this is something it seems to need to take on board.

Everyone in the world has needed help at least once in their lives, from kids to full grown adults. We, as a species, are designed to live in communal groups that support each other emotionally to the point that being alone without human contact is a form of torture. Wanting to have a little emotional support, some understanding, is a part of being human.

So I know that you want to fall into the trap of thinking of yourself as a failure, but you can't let that happen. Not simply because you aren't a failure, but because needing help is not a weakness. You might need help today, you might need help again ten years from now, and that is okay.

And honestly, don't feel guilty because your parents offered 'a little bit' of help. From the sounds of it you're in some real pain and they've done nothing but make it even worse. Offering you help is the very least they could do, and you shouldn't feel bad because they've finally gathered enough compassion to help you.

If I were you, I'd still be looking for other ways of getting help and support outside your parents, because I doubt that they can be trusted. There might be a community outreach center, a church, a charity, anything, that could provide you with the help to get some therapy and get some independence from your parents. Since you've just moved, you need to build a support group that you can turn to when you need help that your parents can't or won't provide.

I honestly wish you the best, OP. You can do it.
