Hey Pandas, What’s The Worst Thing A Family Member Has Done To You? (Closed)

Tell your story.

My parents were worried that I was using drugs when I was 16. And even though I told them that I didn't (which was true), they've started asking others, including my pediatrician, how to seek help. I can't put the embarrassment and anger I've felt into words.

Same. Mine search my room. Worst part is, they're total hypocrites. Any drugs I have, I take from them.

My parents basically ignored me when I came out as LGBTQ. They also said I'm "too young," apparently, and it would be "confusing," if I told people my preferred pronouns and name.

I never get this. People change their names often (my mum did for example), why would it be confusing if you do it?

Just the near-constant verbal onslaught. And my brother like to terrorize me, but isn't that what brothers are for?

Not as bad as it could be but my father has always been very verbally abusive. He used to yell at me (or my sister) if we disagreed with him at anything (or if he thought that we would disagree) or if we did something that he did not like (like struggling while parking). I have been called retarded, stupid, jerk, extremist, pathetic… He had made fun of me for any interest, hobby or opinion I would have (like going to jog with the dog). The last day I slept in their home my father gave me a whole speech about how terrible I was and how “I was so lucky that my mother loved me so much if not…”. If not what? At least have the guts to finish your threats. At the time I was living by myself, following a master and paying everything with my expenses, I was just there visiting for Xmas. I packed my suitcase and left to a friends home. I haven’t slept in that house for years (except once to support my mum through a funeral).

Verbal abuse from a father is very serious. I know because I'm still in therapy from it, and I'm almost 30. You're enough, and you should feel enough. You don't need to achieve anything to be happy with yourself. Try to remember that.
