And you don't deserve the suffering you're going through now. Parents can be assholes. I know from experience. I had to finally come to a place of forgiveness. To tell myself they did the best they could at the time, and they must have gone through worse as kids to act that way as adults. I hope you come to a time that you can lay down the burden they placed on you. Until then, be gentle with yourself.
