Kids, Anxiety, Depression, Parents and Bullying: Leave me alone

Leave me alone

By Anonymous - 04/06/2022 12:00

Today, my parents yet again spent over ten minutes discussing and joking about something minor about me, in this case my preference for Pepper Jack cheese over American. They've done this my whole life, and refuse to understand why I suffer from such crippling self-consciousness. FML

Same thing different taste

All over cheese?

Today, my family had an argument with me because I bought the wrong kind of cheese. They never said what kind they wanted. The argument ended with my mother saying that she wished she could kill herself, because of how horrible of a person I am. FML

Today, as always, my parents wait until I go into the kitchen to drop what they’re doing, rush into the kitchen, and stare at me while I’m making food. They also comment on what I’m eating. I’ve had seven therapists and none of them were able to help me with my embarrassment surrounding food. FML

Make it stop!

Today, I've finally accepted that my parents do not love me. They constantly do things that I hate, then casually remark to other people, "I think he's mad at me now." They also know my hearing is insanely hypersensitive, yet they're still obnoxiously loud for no apparent reason all the time. FML

Narcissistic parenting

Today, my parents kept on trying to create drama in my long-distance relationship,and telling me that my life is a mess. But when I tell them they played a huge part in my crippling anxiety, they change the topic. FML

Today, I had dinner with my family for the first time in a couple of days. My mum and dad spent the majority of the time arguing whether salt or pepper weighed more. This is why I'm not home often. FML

Today, I've been staying with my parents while I have time off from school. They got drunk and started an entire family fight because my dad made pizza and my mom is lactose intolerant. She insists my dad did it on purpose because, "he's an asshole and knows I can't eat cheese." FML

Today, for the third time this month, my family ridiculed me for being picky for ordering a burger without lettuce. They know I'm allergic. FML

Today, my parents have been whining about me spending a weekend there, so I did. I have severe IBS and sent them the list of foods I can eat 2 weeks ago when I told them I was coming. They had no food in the house that I could eat without getting sick, and got offended when I didn’t eat or tried to buy my own food. FML

Emotional

Today, my mom told my girlfriend an embarrassing story about me, along the lines of whenever my parents would take me school clothes shopping, I'd cry because I hated all the choices they gave me. The most recent incident of this? Last year. I'm 18. FML

Today, I had to pick my parents up from the hospital and drive them back home, after they were treated for eating large amounts of cheese that my dad claimed to have "aged" for several years. FML

Why should anyone care what cheese preference you have. Everyone is entitled to there own cheese. Most American cheese is not real cheese, I can see why you prefer something different it sucks.

Try to not express such snobby, elitist cheese preferences. Good ol', red-blooded, Joe Lunchpail American cheesefood should be good enough for you. Even though it sucks, you won't bankrupt your parents by coercing them to buy your pretentious, expensive cheese.

If your parents are so dumb that they can be entertained for over 10 minutes talking to each other about what kind of cheese you like or don't, then their opinions don't really matter. They should honestly find a better use of their time. You're totally fine, and a lot of people agree with you, by the way.

OP, it sounds like your parents need to be put on an info diet, made aware that they're going to stop getting stuff to talk about when you turn 18, and remind them that when they start nitpicking you, you start thinking about finding the worst nursing homes in the area... ...but I'm petty that way.
