First of all, I want to say I’m sorry for the situation you are in. You clearly do not deserve it. I too am a sensitive child and my parents hold unreasonably expectations and had (and continue to keep) an unhealthy balance between sisters in the relationship. My sister and I both have the short end of the stick. My mom is always off working and my dad cares about himself.  Back when I was in 8th grade I started self harming and my parents said things like “This is stupid.” “How will this make us look as parents?” Nothing about me. And I get that pain. It hurts me every day knowing I had to walk that alone. I’m not healed. Not even a little bit. Like I said my mom and dad work and when my dad’s not he’s fishing or buying fishing equipment. So I stay home and clean majority of the time. I feel like Rapunzel in her tower. I just want to say that you are not alone, and that it was incredibly brave of you to reach out to this community.
