I live with my grandpa, but I've realized that most of my family members are horribly emotionally abusive towards anyone they see as weak or different from them, including me and my younger cousins. I see my aunts and uncles alot, and they usually have nothing good to say about me, they gossip about me and my friends and they put me down constantly. Its not constructive criticism either, I don't know anyone whose family does this to them besides mine, except my one friend, who I recently had to get away from because she's become very nasty too, taking about me behind my back, belittling me in front of others..etc.
I can't get away from people's constant put-downs, insults, and I don't know what to do about it. I could move to Florida with my Mom, my half-brother and my stepsister, but all they do is baby me and they never let me do anything and they spoil me rotten... it seems like its either one extreme or another.
I keep having anxiety attacks whenever I'm around my other family members, but I know if I move away and my Mom and siblings will baby me all the time, and they won't let me do anything for myself, like get a job... or do anything... that isn't healthy either.
It's not tough love, I've thought about that and there is a big difference... I don't believe I deserve to be called stupid or belittled in public as often as they do.. I just can't take it anymore.. my grandpa loves his kids, and he doesn't really pay attention or care whenever they say these hurtful things to me... I can't confront them about it.. I've tried, and I only get laughed at and ridiculed more..
Help.. what can I do?
I'm moving to college in about 7-8 months... there has to be something I can do until then..
