How do I know? Please read..?
For 7 years my family has been a wreck. My dad's cheated twice, once resulting in a baby that my dad's never met or even seen. My mom has become depressed and never leaves the house except to buy cigarettes and take me to work. Ever since the cheating (which my parents have never talked about) they have always tried to make me feel sorry for them and get me to look down upon the other parent like they do. They have made me feel like the things I do aren't good enough and like I'm a horrible person. There are so many incidents I could name where they have made me feel like I'm doing everything from opening the car door to vacuuming wrong and like no meter what I do, nothing is good enough. They always try and point out the bad stuff that the other has done and make me feel like I have to choose. So, my question is, DOES THIS CONSTITUTE AS EMOTIONAL ABUSE OR AM I BLOWING IT OUT OF PROPORTION?
Thank you for your time, I know this was really long and I'm not trying to get sympathy responses, I just want to know if this is what emotional abuse is.

Yes it is wrong and no it does not happen to everybody, at least not to the degree that it sounds like your parents have done. Keep in mimd, misery loves company and if your parents a re depressed than they might just be bringimg you down with them. Don't allow that. Look at the good. And stay strong and consider it a learning experience of how not to treat your children when you have them.

It sounds like everybody in your house is hurting, they're not attacking you- they're just stressed out. I would not call it emotional abuse. It's just emotionally hard.
I'm sorry for your troubles but you can find peace in the Lord.

Its emotional abuse and you need to sit both of them down and explain how you feel and if all else fails, try counseling.

I wouldnt say its emotional abuse. it's just two adults incapable of reconciling hurt feelings and inadequacies and you are unfortunately impacted by it all. emotional abuse is when people belittle you directly to make you feel as if you have know self-worth.

You should try and talk to your parents. Tell them how you feel and if they love you they will do something about it. Its not fair that you are getting treated like this by your own parents.
