Suffering alot due to toxic parents.
My parents are so toxic and abusive to me and they try to control my life at the age of 25.They dont ever appreciate me,try to understand me and instead tells that they didnt want a child at all.Theyre so hurting and they hurt other family members or outsiders too alot with their bad nature.They also used to beat me alot in childhood until I grow up just bcz I wanted to choose my own way of living.They just want me to get married even when today im working woman and they dont like it if I do something on my own.Theyre always negative,fighting with each other and never listen to anyone.I really wish to leave them asap but they try to bribe authorities and theyre so materialistic overly.They only value non spiritual stuffs and try to create negativity around others and home too.Sometimes I get so lonely and feel suicidal despite their only daughter they dont love me but only see me as a burden.Even after the grief of losing grandparents in a short period of time theyve no change. :"(

The feelings of being unsupported, lonely and overwhelmed can be very difficult to manage alone. Please consider reaching out to a psychologist especially if suicidal thoughts continue

Thank you for sharing something so painful. From what you've described, it sounds like you've experienced years of control, criticism, emotional hurt, and even physical abuse. Living in such an environment can leave a person feeling exhausted, lonely, and deeply misunderstood. What concerns me most is that you mentioned feeling suicidal at times. If you are currently having thoughts of harming yourself or feel unable to keep yourself safe, please reach out immediately to a trusted person, a mental health professional, or an emergency/crisis service in your area. It is important to remember that your worth is not determined by how your parents treat you. Many people who grow up in controlling or abusive environments begin to internalize the negative messages they receive, but those messages do not define who they are. Since you are an independent working adult, it may be helpful to gradually work on setting healthy boundaries, building a support system outside the family, and creating a plan for emotional and practical independence. These situations can be complex, and having professional support can make a significant difference. You do not have to carry this burden alone.

I’m sorry that you’ve had to carry so much pain for so long. From what you've described, you're dealing with not only ongoing conflict and criticism from your parents, but also the emotional impact of childhood physical abuse, lack of emotional support, grief, loneliness, and feeling controlled despite being an independent adult. Anyone who grows up in an environment where they feel unheard, criticized, or treated as a burden may struggle with self-worth, trust, emotional security, and feelings of hopelessness. The fact that your parents continue to pressure you, dismiss your choices, and create a stressful environment understandably adds to your distress. What concerns me most is that you mentioned feeling suicidal at times. This tells me that the emotional burden has become very heavy and deserves immediate attention and support.
Next Steps
Please reach out to a trusted friend, relative, or mental health professional and let them know what you're going through. Focus on building emotional and practical independence, including a support system outside the family. If living separately is a realistic and safe option in the future, you can begin planning it gradually rather than impulsively. Allow yourself to grieve both the loss of your grandparents and the lack of emotional support you've received from your parents.
Health Tips
Try not to measure your worth by how your parents treat you. Their behavior reflects their own limitations, not your value as a person. Avoid engaging in repeated arguments that leave you feeling emotionally drained. Spend time with people who are supportive and respectful of your choices. Keep a record of your emotions and triggers to better understand how the environment affects your mental health. Important: Because you mentioned suicidal feelings, please take this seriously. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself, feel unable to stay safe, or are thinking about acting on those thoughts, contact a mental health professional, crisis helpline, emergency services, or a trusted person immediately. You should not carry this alone.

Thank you for sharing this. It sounds incredibly painful to feel unheard, controlled, and unsupported by the people you hoped would understand you. You’ve been carrying a lot for a long time, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. Please be gentle with yourself, and if you’re having thoughts of harming yourself, reach out to someone you trust or seek immediate support.
Next Steps
You don’t have to navigate this alone. If you’d like to explore this further and work on coping strategies, boundaries, and emotional healing, you’re welcome to book a counselling session with me.
