I have asked for help so many times from my parents and they don't bat an eye. My dad is so fucking emotionally absent, its like he'd rather I not exist. Every time I try to talk to them or have a normal conversation with them, they act like I'm a nuisance. If you aren't emotionally stable enough to raise your teenage daughter, then why have a kid or fight for custody of me in the first place. My mom is no better, she chooses guys over her kids and no matter how much she has fucked us all up, she finds a way to play victim. Im wearing myself thin trying to be the perfect daughter and keep the 4.0 but holy shit I'm so burnt out. I am expected to have the good grades, to do no wrong, to always be happy. If I break down and say how I feel, then I'm either told its just hormones or I'm too dramatic. I cant keep holding everything in, its hard and tiring and I don't know if I can keep this up any longer. Im working a full time job along with online school and also trying to have some sort of normal teenage life with friends, but my parents are ALWAYS holding me back from them. Im so drained.

im so sorry that genuinely sounds so draining. if ur parents hv a pattern of playing the victim or are emotionally absent then theyre likely arent capable of giving u the validation u deserve rn :c yea it hurts deeply but try to shift ur focus from trying to get them to understand to getting thru ur day with ur peace intact. N GIVE urself permission to be imperfect! PLEASE!! if the 4.0 is whats breaking u, its ok to acknowledge that ur mental health is worth more than that!!! remind urself that the work ur doing (the job, the grades, etc) is building ur bridge out :) every shift u work and every assignment u complete is a step towards a future where u get to define ur own environment n choose who u let into ur inner circle. please be kind to urself. ur doing an incredible job under circumstances that wld break most ppl 3 rib 6 hours ago
