My brother has mocked me. My mom has said insensitive things like "The way you talk makes people uncomfortable" If you feel safe to, maybe tell them that it was hurtful? You'd know best if they'd ...

I've just been told "to just spit it out" by my dad. My friend's mom hit me on the head with a wooden bowl when I was a kid, when I was eating dinner at their place. They did have amazing dinners th...
