My dad is emotionally abusive, and his only excuse is that he's "being a parent" but I don't think being a parent means bringing your child's self esteem down. I'm diagnosed with adhd, bipolar disorder, and depression, I was even sent to a mental hospital cause of my harmful thoughts.
But my dad still think it's a cry for attention. I never feel accepted by him so I keep everything to myself, cause we fight 24/7 and mostly it's cause he doesn't agree with me or cause of something I said or did.
I don't even talk back rudely and he still think i'm disrespectful.
I have like 3-4 more years til I move out but honestly he pisses me off :/
