Did anyone else have stepparents who didn’t step in at all when you were being called horrific names, screamed at, and just emotionally abused? I’ve noticed that when my dad calls me awful names or gets very mad at me, my stepmom just stands there and does absolutely nothing but yet I am the one who is blamed by her, told I’m overreacting and how I need to calm down and step away. She has been pissed at me before for “disrespecting my dad” but yet she doesn’t seem to say anything about my dad’s behavior how he sometimes treats me or my brother. She’s a total bitch

It’s incredibly distressing. I will get insulted and called awful names only for her to stand there and not say anything, blame me for overreacting and disrespecting my dad, only for her to laugh with my dad 20 minutes later like nothing happened. He is also a literal Nazi and she just stands there and doesn’t seem to give a shit.

Can anyone else relate? I really could use some support.

Over these past few weeks, I have been a splitting more and more and it’s been so fucking awful. It’s a lot worse now compared to the beginning of our relationship and has been happening more recently. I always feel absolutely miserable and bawl my eyes out for days when this happens because I feel so bad. I know I am hurting him and I hate the fact because I love him so much and would do anything for him. I really don’t want him to leave. I hate myself and think I’m a monster. I live in a bad household and am often emotionally abused and it’s been really triggering me. My childhood trauma is really altering my nervous system. I feel absolutely miserable right now. I need this to stop, I’m sick of fighting.

I cough a ton when I am in an asthma flare. I am not sick, it’s just a result of the disease obviously. But people always ask “are you sick” “why are you here if you are coughing so much” “you need to cover your mouth when you cough.” And it just kinda hurts. Especially the cover your mouth comment. Sometimes I have such a bad coughing fit I am not able to cover my mouth, let alone, it also restricts airflow which can make it even worse.

Anyone else experience this? are you ever embarrassed to go out in public with a flare because people will assume you are sick?

I have been struggling significantly with emotional instability due to the household I grew up in and being severely emotionally abused and intimidated as a child.

I still live in this household and I often feel like there’s no escape. I am only 18 and my mom left me and my brother. It’s extremely hard and I am having a lot of instability in my relationship. I want to get out of here. I can’t even drive because of how much I dissociate. I am blamed and feel hated and judged all the time.

I just could really use some support right now. These past few days have been absolutely awful for me.
