Familial emotional abuse 

If you want an idea of just how my parents treated me, every one of the example statements was said to me on a daily basis: olofahere.tumblr.com/post/1702

@Jacel @xurnami I have a lot of issues with this. I still get after myself for "why didn't you fix it sooner, then" and sabotage my own attempts to do stuff better. I don't honestly know how much of it directly traces back to my family though.

@xurnami Good god... *hugs* I've met a few people like that. Having to put up with that from family on a daily basis... I'm sorry.

@xurnami That "can't catch a break" feeling is one of the reasons that I eventually stopped trying, with my blood relatives.
