Oh, the usual stuff, they are angry, upset, anxious, ignore me, my mother is always criticizing me in a passive agressive way, my father always complaining about everything as if even the minor issue is the end of the world, and they just don’t see me. Don’t seem to care either. They haven’t seen me for more than a year and didn’t ask a single question about my experience.

And I can’t stand that anymore. My boyfriend showed me (most of the times ) how it was to be treated with kindness, gentleness, respect, interest and affection. He supported me, even though he no longer does. And now I’ve tasted that, I can’t go back. I can’t tolerate my parents’ behavior anymore. And I’m so upset myself. But I can’t say anything because I have nowhere to go at the moment and they would probably make my life even harder or show me the door if I try to talk to them about their behavior.
