Adoptive family is toxic AF

My parents are the main source of my misery. I wasn’t allowed to express my emotions because they didn’t care and didn’t want to be bothered. When I cried, my mom told me to stop. My parents didn’t want to talk to me about my feelings and depression, so they handed me a check to give to a therapist instead. They were always free to cry, to yell, to punch walls and slam doors. If I did the same, I would get yelled at and punished. My older siblings ( also adopted) didn’t care about me either. I literally had no one and zero support. Still don’t decades later. One of my siblings, the favorite child, died a few years ago, and my dad is getting more cruel to me every day. My whole family takes their anger out on me and it’s destroying my soul and my will to live. Sorry for the long post. I needed to get this out.
