Does anyone else have incredibly EMOTIONAL parents? I can't tell my mom when I'm struggling or going through a hard time because she starts crying— so I don't tell her. My dad just gets angry at anything and can't self regulate for shit

Yesssss, and then my mom’s gonna hit me with the classic, “Great… now I have to worry about this too. Do you even realize how much stress you’re putting on me?” And it will be as simple as me saying I didn’t shave my legs bc I didn’t feel like it 😐 but she will call me depressed

Now I’ve learned to keep it all to myself and be expected to always have my things together and never slip up even though I’m only 19 and I’m supposed to be going through these things. My mom always tells me that I should know or that I need to step it up and be there when she’s in need of me but.. nobody ever shows up for me? They can’t even handle their own emotions let alone mine..

being mentally ill sucks because mental illness is often hereditary 🌝 and my parents are not medicated

Now I’ve developed harmful coping mechanisms because nobody has ever stepped in and helped when I was going through really difficult times.. they should have never had children if they didn’t know how to literally be basic ass parents and fucking help their children do basic shit. I feel so damn incompetent and unprepared yet I’m being thrown into the world and expected to know everything and act perfect all the time it’s sickening.

Yeah i also feel drained of energy and can barely really take care of myself I kinda lost all desire to do things that i once enjoyed— but they don’t notice and they don’t care. My mom doesn’t say a word about the scars she sees all over me. It’s like she doesn’t want to deal with me.. like my problems don’t even matter because she’s going through too much but she puts that on me too and tells me I have to always be there for her for every god damn thing. I’m losing my mind.
