Mum and dad prejudice to me

It wasn't when I was born. They love me very much when I was a kid especially dad pampered all the way. Until I got an illness in 1997 all the attention was move to my younger brother including buying him a bicycle, money, car and supporting her girlfriend emotionally and all his opinion no matter it was against me or not. I feel I am being treated not fair especially my mum. She use vulgar words to order me to do something all the time. When I blow up I just blow up. I throw violent words to her but after that I am so sorry and said sorry to her. I know I am lack of physical wellness and they seem to bully me. I have seem them talking behind me like what to do with me? Should we send her to hospital and worse cut my daily savings. What I do is tolerate until now it has been 10 years I did and nothing changed. What should I do? I am so sad and want to live a separate life from them.

I don't know what is wrong with you and what your limitations are. But my advice would be to find a way to help others, maybe over the Internet. A Blog maybe? If you can find an interrest outside yourself you will find your constant focus on your family and living conditions will no longer be your main consern. Many people live under troublesome conditions, but once they become involved with others in a helpful way, they find their own circumstantes pale by what others endure. Blessings

This is good advice Savypat... I said for her to stand up for herself and move out if necessary... but if she isn't focused on her troubles, maybe she could ignore them a little bit so they don't bother as much.

Wongchoiyee ! You are not well since 1997 and hence u are dependent on parents. You are not employed. You feel that you are being neglected by you parents since 1997. You also feel that your brother is being pampered. You are 29 +. Your brother must also be near that age. I can understand the hard feeling you have and expressed. My suggestion will be -- You are aware of your problems - you accept them - God has given this to you--for reasons nobody can explain . Accepting that please avoid being jealous over your siblings - after all he is your own brother only-- try to be good to your mother. Do whatever work you can do whenever she is requesting. Mostly it may be that she asks you to do something and you spend time on computer. She may feel bad that she is neglected. Please be good to parents. They also have worries about your being taken care of during their times and after that also. How can you live separately from them. Please do not commit that mistake. You cannot manage singly in this society without protection from others especially when you are not well-- I do not understand: "Should we send her to hospital and worse cut my daily savings. "

I have depression plus schizophrenia. They said I am giving trouble at home. And I use all my money everyday. They don't like when I don't save my money so they want to cut my daily savings.

I have worked in trading goods company, legal firm, insurance, and call center before. Starting this year I can't work outside anymore. I don't have the "umph" already. I have been Christian before but now revert to Buddhist. I hope I will say more prayer to God starting from now on. How's life with your son in USA?

Please do not show anger to others. Recite your God's name. If u are Hindu I will suggest slokas. donot worry. things will get sorted out soon. be hopeful .I am now in USA with my son.

Hi! I believe they did not mean to do that to you, but they just do not know what to do. Most of the time we just assuming something without really find out the truth, and this happen more frequent when we are down with emotion. All you need to do is to be more confident at yourself and what you can do is to achieve something easy at the beginning to gain your confident. When you successful to completer something, you can start to find something slightly more difficult than the previous one and until you totally gain back your confident. As you need to remember, to live is not always easy and you have to bear with it. Always think and accept thing willingly and be more positive thinking will definitely make you life better. Trust me!

I'm sorry that things aren't going so well for you. It may not be easy but you have to be strong. You need to work hard for yourself and show them that you are capable. Yes, parents sometimes gets vulgar but after all, they are your parents. No matter how they treat you, they are still your parents. So treat them well, no matter what. Appreciate it that you can still see them everyday. Cause once they are gone, you can never bring them back.

Hi Wongchoiyee, I think you need to move away from them. If you are over the age of 18 you can be your own person... you are an adult at 18. You deserve a life apart from them. Make your own decisions, make your own mistakes and learn from them. Support yourself, and let your family know they have crossed a boundary that you don't want crossed. You become your own boss this way. I'm sorry you are going through this. Becoming independent is the best thing for all of us. If you are disabled and unable to care for yourself, that would be a reason to stay.. or if you aren't old enough to leave.. but otherwise I would get my own life.. :)

I feel it for you, and wish i could get you out of that situation.since they are your parents, you have nothing to do rather than watching things happen.i would encourage you to continue respecting them, love them and honor them as the bible states.be an optimistic person, ignore the negative things and concentrate on you strong areas. PRAY HARD FOR THEM AND DON'T GIVE UP. LOOK UP TO GOD FOR EVERYTHING!!!!

My friend, I don't know how I can share with you. When parents behave with their child in this way it became more painful. But friend, is it the outcome of their anxiety? They might anxious about your future in absence of them. As your are physically incapable (I don't know how much you are), after them who will look after you. But don't think a separation. How will you survive? What is your source of income? Being separated from your family you have to live alone. How about your friends? Please bear this agony with you and share with the almighty.

Dar wonghoiyee, my hear goes out to you; you seem to be very sad and lonely. I suggest that you look for support; a counsellor could help you. After that; I suggest that you try and work it out with them. Try leaving home; but dont do it badly or witha rguments.

If you want to live separately from them then save your money and plan your life. Don't forget them once you achieved your dream as they are still your parents. Please be patient as you are still with them and mind them as your parents you can't throw such violent words to them. Parents are such a sensitive people just like you too~ You feel hurt and they feel the same way when you do that to them. Since they are still alive do the best to make them happy~
