I'm so sorry to hear that, LifelongLoner You deserved much better treatment than this, and much better parents for sure. I'm so sorry. Just know that we care about you here. We won't judge. I know it's not much, but at least it's something. Think of PC as a little island where you can be yourself. I hope that writing here helps a bit. As I've already said, if there's something that you don't want to share in public, you can vent to me privately. I'll listen to you and won't judge you. Feel free to PM me anytime. I'm always availabe if you need to talk. Sending many hugs to you
