I've Had To Move Back Home. It's Making Everything Worse.

It probably seemed kind at first that your parents would offer you a place to stay, but it's not fair that they're trampling over you and your feelings. What you've described is current abuse and you don't have to take it. It doesn't matter what they say. You have worth and deserve to be whole.

Yeah... what she said.

I noticed in your original post that you were careful to point out that you are paying your own way and only taking up a small bedroom. That sounds to me like you've been conditioned to believe that other people's crumbs are all you deserve. I mean, it's nice that your parents are giving you a place to stay, but if the constant emotional abuse is the price you're paying, they're not actually "giving" you anything at all. Suppose they wanted to rent out the room to someone else. Would they treat a live-in tenant the way they are treating you? I don't think so. And yet they seem to think they have the right to treat their daughter like this. There's no way you should have to put up with that.
