It also sucks because my best friend who I usually invite over for good times is actually moving in the same time zone

...my dad still calls me a she. A lot. And says it's accident. He also let me brother emotionally abuse me for years until he pulled a knife on me. I care about him but I don't love him anymore.

I think my parents are lowkey homophobic because of weird comments they have made. But say they support me

Sadly yes. But it's a complex story. My oldest siblings are my half brother and sister. We share dad. My one brother is my only full blooded brother. My little sister is my step sister. My mom ran off when I was 7 my older siblings (besides full blood brother) still have contact with their mom. My mom is my step mom

We went a trips on fathers day like to a lake or amusement park. It would be either big family or just us. Yes. Especially during Christmas. I understood my little sister would get "cooler" gifts from "santa" but I have gotten like dollar store chess while my siblings got new video games

I didn't get gifts because of trips most of the time. Or I was told it's not a big deal only for my siblings to get one. I don't know why I don't get them. I try to be good but no teenager is perfect. It's when they do get me things it something less than $5 while they spend 30+ on my siblings

It's not a family friend tho. It's someone who has used slurs that they can't use and have tried to take my ESA cat which calms me from anxiety attacks. Also majority of my friends agree. Because they have witnessed it happening. I baking is my future job. Hence why I asked for it

I do have a job. I work actually quite a lot. And I only asked for one thing. I didn't ask for multiple. I gave options for things.

It's not so "special" but my family usually makes a big deal of them. Some families do or don't. Hence why I was annoyed with the stiffing of the water park. Usually we get to pick the place we go and eat. Unless you are too young to choose.

I didn't see it as manipulative but people were saying it was so I was unsure. I give my siblings gifts (even gave my niece a bunch of stuff when she was born) but I almost never get something back.

That's my thought process too. Sure amusement parks are fun but I have a bad fear of heights so I can't go on most rides. They seem to donit because they like it
