I'm so sorry you're both hurting so much, Fuzzybear and raging vortex I completely agree with what KD1980 has already wisely said better than I ever could abut making friends with older, mature people! Sompe parents can be REALLY mean towards their own kids, even though I don't understand why! Whoever treats their kids or anyone else like this doesn't truly deserve to be a parent in my opinion, at least until they work on themselves and learn to work like GOOD PEOPLE! I'm so sorry you've had to put up with such HORRIBLE behavior! Nobody deserves to get through all of this, certainly not you or anyone else here on PC! You're both kind, strong, wonderful people! You're AWESOME! Please be kind to yourselves as much as you can! Sending many hugs to both of you and to EVERYONE!
