I am so so sorry to hear this, your family are emotionally abusing you, you are not wrong to feel devastated..My wish for you is that as soon as you can you can leave these people and carve out of a wonderful life for yourself, get therapy to heal this abuse and be happy. You are not wrong or bad, they are.Do you have other family you can talk to about their behaviour? You deserve support and love

I'm glad you have a counsellor, I hope they're validating your worth and telling you none of this is your fault. I really wish you well and hope life gets easier and happier for you

You deserve better.

Work with your counselor on what you need to do to be in a position to get out, build a life for yourself and get away from these people.

This is so important. Do everything you can to take advantage of counseling and therapy that's available to you. We have an amazing ability to cope with things, and let awful comments roll off our backs in our younger years.

It all tends to manifest later on. It might be anxiety. It might be addictive tendencies or full on substance abuse. There are a variety of deregulating behaviors that could come to be, and future you will benefit in ways you can't imagine by learning how to manage your family's mistreatment and abuse now.

talk to them about how serious it is...you might be better off putting yourself into foster care with the help of your counselor
