Parent relationship falling apart.

I don’t know what to do at this point, for the past 15 years I have tried to spend time with either my mom or dad. But they never show any interest or even care about me in any way. I have two other siblings so it is simply impossible for me to spend time with them. If I make a simple mistake or error I get abuse back from them, I’m trying to move out but my mother is such a narcissist that I can’t move out and if I try the council thinks I’m unfit to live alone.. I’m on a waiting list for assisted living due to my mental health and disabilities. I haven’t came across anyone on here who’s in a similar boat as me.

    Hi @Ethan_the_Eef

    Thank you for sharing what you're going through. I am sorry that you are currently having to live in a household which sounds like a very unhealthy environment to be in.

    I hear how you you are getting abuse back from your family when you make a mistake, you do not deserve that treatment from your family. If you would like to reach out for specific support for this I have attached a link at the end of this post to the NHS page that has links to services, alternatively if your are under 18 you can also reach out to ChildLine.

    How has your living situation been recently?

    While I haven't been in your position, I just want to reassure you that the Mix community is here for you whenever you want to make a post.

    I wish you the best with receiving assisted living.

    Hey @Ethan_the_Eef, thank you for sharing your experience with us here. It sounds like a difficult situation to be living in, and I'm sorry to hear that you feel like your parents don't care about you. You deserve to be cared about, and your feelings do matter. @Blue_lily mentions some good points of contact who can help and provide advice. Other users have discussed seeking assisted living in the community, I'm hopeful that someone will be able to chime in here on their experience. We're here to listen to you and support you through this.

    Hey @Ethan_the_Eef thank you so much for opening up about this.

    I noticed your said that you are recieving abuse at home, particularly from your mother, is that right? Would you feel safe sharing more about the nature of what happens if you do make a mistake?

    I wonder too how safe you're currently feeling in your home environment, and whether anyone else is aware of what you're doing through?

    You're doing really well to put this into words, and we're here for you.
