That it's not just a phase.
In further description. When I was about 10-11, my parents believed that my refusal to make eye contact and worsening stutter was because I wanted to be different and seen as special, and decided to do everything they could to stop it. Anyway, nine years later, I still don't make eye contact, and I have a bad stutter. I've barely been able to hold a desk job for more than six weeks for the past four years, and finally got a steady income at a daycare, where I help out with the littlest kids. It's nice there because nobody gives a f**k about how wrongly you speak or how weird you act. That kind of childish innocence is something we're sorely missing in the world nowadays.
I wish they could at least ✨try✨ to understand what makes me sad/angry insted of saying I'm over-reacting. Maybe I am, but you're not even trying to look deeper, to ask "why".
that its ok to be trans
-That crying isn't a sign of weakness
-Not everything bad is cause of my phone
-Mental health disorders aren't just fictional concepts
-That not everything is a phase
-That saying "It will all be okay" does not make it okay
-That I actually did try
-That- and be ready for this- IM NOT AN EMOTIONLESS ROBOT!!!!
That I can hear them when they're not talking to me and I can can hear them misgendering and deadnaming me without a second thought. No f*****g wonder you're having trouble with my pronouns, you aren't even trying
I wish they realized I had autism earlier, I wouldn't have to go through my kid, preteens, and half my teen years suffering.
Also wished that they realize that some people just aren't religious (still a minor so I'm still being forced to go to church) . I tell them oh I don't believe in that and then they ask "wElL wHaT dO yOu BeLiEvE iN tHeN!?" I understand them asking once, maybe twice, but they do it everytime!!!!!!!!
Tell them you are young and still figuring out exactly what you believe. But that doesn't mean you don't know what you DON'T believe. It means you found something you don't agree with. You shouldn't be expected to know everything you believe and don't believe as a teenager. This is the time for you to begin finding that out
That I am an adult who has raised a child of my own and that what I do in my personal life is not their business.
That when I say I'm tired, I'm not tired, I'm depressed.
That I can have emotions and that being moody and snarky is completely normal for teens and that I’m not the most disrespectful child ever
Yeah my parents are good but I think it's a first child thing- no adults expect the fact that teenagers are teenagers. The stereotypes are true- we're gonna be moody and probably mean to you. Just roll with it, it won't last forever
That being hit nearly every day, always screamed at, always blamed for things I didnt do, always put last, told repeatedly I was a bad kid and deserved to get hit, told I can't go out with friends cause they assumed I'd be a sl**, laughing at me for having depression and liking "emo bands", having privacy stripped away from me (stepmom would unlock bathroom and bedroom door when I was changing or taking a shower), having objects smashed into my face like laptops and hot pizza, isolating me to make me take care of my half siblings all day, told things like I should just kill myself, calling me horrible names, and constantly told my feelings dont matter really messed me up and still hurts today. I still get nightmares.
Also, stepmom claiming shes never hit anyone and that shes always been nice makes me angry. Both claim they were good parents who did no wrong and I deserved everything. She also now claims her and I are close when I dont feel like we are. The scars still remain . The hurt is still there. The damage isnt healed. I wish my dad and stepmom realised how much they hurt me. But I just smile and act like it's fine
I’m sorry you went through this. People are horrible, narcissistic and cruel. I hope your stepmom and dad will change of just leave your life but please know that you’re amazing and deserve it all.
That just because I’m a teenager doesn’t mean you can laugh at me and tell your friends about what I said bc that’s embarrassing. Also, yelling at me when I make a mistake doesn’t make me do it less, it just makes me want to hide my mistakes from you.
I hate being the one who initiates conversation. I prefer someone else telling me something, or asking me a question. From there, I'll be more comfortable opening up.
That saying you love me but don't "love my lifestyle" means that you hate the queerness of my gender and sexual identity. Both are inherently true at the same time; stop letting the catholic church tell you how to love your queer child!
This has been going on now for 22 years since I came out.
That therapy will actually help in my case and that maybe their parenting and my schooling has began to show how messed up I have become thanks to them
Parents who deny their kids therapy suck. I don't even see the reasoning behind it, it just sucks. I hope you get into therapy once you're out of your house

That they (my dad usually) needs to talk about things that involve me before he does something.
