I feel stuck

I try so hard to be loving and show kindness to my family, but all I have in return is just condescension and inconsideration. There’s almost no boundaries for my feelings and I don’t know what to do about it. I get if I cry I’m told I’m too sensitive and need to grow up, but if I get mad, I’m told I’m being dramatic, so I don’t know what else to do. I can’t just shut up. It’s just not how I am. When I talk about my parents to my friends, they say that their behaviors are not normal and that I should move out immediately. I still feel guilty for wanting to move out. They’ve been gracious enough to me to provide a life for me, but they’ve never treated me with love, so I’m conflicted. And even though I want to move out very badly, I still have to wait at least a year. My mom guilt trips me into staying or doing things for her. I just feel stuck. I don’t know how to escape the cycle of being the bad daughter when I don’t think I did anything wrong. Maybe I don’t realize the things I’m doing wrong, but the way my parents and siblings talk to me is so degrading and so so tiring. I just feel like I’d be better if I wasn’t here. Even after my therapist tells my mom I need to be out of the house in order to heal, my mom still is very possessive and narcissistic. I don’t know what to do.

Leave as soon as you are able to. Go either low contact or no contact. Your life is for yourself, don’t waste it because your family is trash (trust me, I understand completely). Focus on your education, get a job if you can, and move out. Show them how far you can go without them.
