does anyone else out there have prolbems with their parents, i mean do you just feel you cant trust them, mine you really cant, in fact most of my family is like that. do anyone elses parents expect you to open up to them and tell them everything, i mean idk i also feel that my parents use me for w/e seems to be done. and when we are in public they put on this big show like life is perfect, how hard my mom really works, and the illusion like we have a big sit down family dinner every night..i mean i noticed when i was younger how they acted in public or around others was not what things were really like...i wonder if this has something to do with me shutting everyone out like i do, and hiding it like nothing happens, i mean i do cut, but i act like my life is perfect, and nothing ever goes wrong..does this have anything to do with the way my parents act? do other ppls parents do the same? am i alone? is it wrong to not trust your mother when you know you really cant? is it wrong to not be a family person? please help me out, i know a lot of this was rambling, but i want to know and am curious if im in the wrong?

" I cannot say that I know how you are feeling, because I don't. But I do feel like if you just talk to you're parents, you get get it sorted out. If you need to talk about anything else, I am here for you. "

" well ive always wanted that closeness thing with my parents, i guess because i dont have it, but it got to where i would ask my mom for advice or tell her somein i though i could go to no one else with and later i would have family members just randomly ask me about something personal, and idk i guess thats when i lost my trust, ive even told her how bad her insults and putdowns hurt me and i would appericate if when i tell her something she wouldnt tell everyone else, but this still doesnt seem to work, i mean i dont understand what i have done that is so wrong, that would cause her to treat me like this? and when i ask her about it, she laughs it off, or starts yelling how i dont respect her, do enough, dont trust her and im like of course i dont look how you act. then later she will act like nothing every happened i mean is she like bipolar? am i? am i doing something wrong? i dont understand and i try so very hard not to hate her, i mean i really do, but shes making it damn nea impossible..

" I may know how you feel. I can't trust my parents because they steal from me and lie to me. Both of them have drug problems and some kind of mental illness. You aren't alone, many teenagers feel this way. Try and do things to keep your mind off of the way your parents act.

but I'll tell you one thing, cutting does not help. I think you should find other ways to express how you feel. Maybe writing, art, music? My advice may not be great, but just try to take it in. "

" I understand how you feel.
I dont trust my stepdad...
He called the cops on me for yelling at him..
And when i get home from his actions he expects everything to be perfect and act like i wasnt hurt .
Parents are something different.
Just know your not alone. Most families act out in public as if life is easy but in reality its hard it is really hard. Its not something that we should hide. I mean families love eachother and hurt eachother but eventually you got to move on from the if whats buts and all that. YOu gotta think bout the future. Your parents are always going to be there. They are a part of you "
