Someone once asked...

“My sister is very annoying, irritating, and does everything to make me mad and upset and sad. My whole family agrees that I’m stupid and dumb. My mom and dad have no good expectations for me and they only have hope for my sister now. My 2 older brothers already have a life so they just pour their expectations on my sister. My mom is always saying how my sister is better. My mom is constantly saying how my hobbies like drawing is useless and she doesn’t trust me one bit. I try and get away from all of them so I stay in my attic but she comes up and asks why she thinks I’m talking to boys and watching inappropriate things. In reality I just want space from everyone.”

yk, I honestly feel like u just want someone to understand u for once...ik how it might feel..It's so exhausting when the people who are supposed to make u feel safe are the ones making u feel like you're never good enough...And please don't start believing that you're stupid or that your interests are useless just because they don't appreciate them. Drawing and having your own hobbies and wanting some space for yourself... there's nothing wrong with any of that. And u shouldn't have to constantly prove yourself or compete with your sister just to feel valued by your own family. I know it's easier said than done but don't let the way they treat u define how u see yourself. Also I'm genuinely sorry u have to deal with all this....I've been there myself... But i didn't give up on myself back then and now I'm exactly where i wanted to be. All the best dear
