Hello, I’m a 12 year old boy at the moment. Please refrain from telling me I’m overreacting and that I am seeking attention. I’m looking for advice as I have no idea what to do because I am relying on them for most things.


I believe my parents are abusive and have little emotional maturity. When I attempt to open up to them, they dismiss it and act like it doesn’t matter or make it seem like my fault I feel that way. They get mad for no reason (example: I close a door too close to them even though the door was far from them) and belittle me. They treat my success, something like winning a table tennis tournament or getting a high test score, like nothing and my failures, something like not being able to do higher level things, as a personal insult. Social workers came a few years ago but my parents didn’t change. They only stopped for like a week before going back to their old ways. Any advice?
