Adolescent Mental Health Issues Ignored By Her Father And Mother In Law, So She Screams To State Her Case And Seek Acceptance.

When a 16-year-old’s mental health struggles collide with his father and stepmother’s denials about his past, he breaks out into a screaming fit to get his point across.

His needs to be accepted and understood create a family drama where everyone is in trouble.

Read on for the story.

I (16f) live with my father, his wife, two brothers and my sister. My parents divorced when I was 3 years old and I last saw my mother when I was 6 years old.

He lost the right to take care of me because he is mentally ill and his whole family. My father was granted legal custody which eventually became sole custody. I really remember one visit with my mother and she was very sick.

We know his parents, his four siblings and him all suffered from their mental health and possibly theirs. It is also believed that his grandfather and great-grandfather were mentally ill but he did not know them. I never knew anyone in his family.

It sounds complicated.

My father and his wife met when I was 5 and we lived together when I was 6 and they got married when I was 7. He wanted to kiss me but I refused. My mother pays child support and has never missed a payment according to my grandfather.

My father and his wife like to ignore my mental health and family history and the genetic components of mental illness.

They like to pretend that my father’s wife is my mother and they don’t want me to talk about my mother. I still do. It annoys them.

Must be.

I bring up mental health issues and they tell me nurture is more important than nature. They tell me that I do not respect to abandon the influence and place of my father’s wife in my life and how I have two parents in my home. I don’t have to wonder about someone who didn’t love me enough to hook up.

I told them that mental illness is not like that and they told me to “pay attention to my real mother” meaning my father’s wife.

I don’t call her my stepmother because she doesn’t like my mental health. Same reason my father is my father not my father.

That is serious.

My grandmother never loved my mother so she has them. But my grandfather is on my side. He also used to talk to mother quietly and check on her.

I know I’m mentally ill. I already have things going on. I told my dad and he deleted it while I was thinking about things, and I said yes, and that’s my problem. But he doesn’t want to hear it.

His wife doesn’t want me to talk about this when her children are at home. So basically never.

Imagine a perfect little family.

They saw me searching the internet for the name of Mother last week and told me to leave it and stop disrespecting the real mother, the woman who raised me and that is who I am. They said I was looking for ways to push him away. And I got lost.

I started screaming that she is not a mother, she will never be a mother, she did not pass on her DNA to me and it is not her medical history that related to mine.

I told them he couldn’t save me from mental illness. That they cannot ignore the problem and think that it will not happen. They tried to stop me but I kept going until I made it clear how angry I was and how I would blame them if I got too bad.

They were the craziest I’ve ever seen. Mainly because the other children were in the house and heard everything.

FATHER?

It seems that the family is still struggling with the problem of ignoring the deep-rooted issues that have arisen.

What does reddit say? Many.

Sometimes, the loudest yelling is the only way to overcome family rejection.
