KissKiss, I read your confessions and I totally get it. Living in a big family seems like a lot of fun, but it can also feel like there's a lot of competition and not enough support. It's actually very cold. I give you a big hug. Let's discuss it together!
1. It's so sad when mum and dad are cold and violent towards you. It's like they ignore you when you talk to them. (This wasn't the case before.) They don't pay any attention to you when you need something, and you're tired after school anyway. They don't even cook for you.
It's okay to feel frustrated when your parents don't treat you the way you'd like. It's possible that they're facing their own challenges and don't know how to handle it all. We can all feel lost sometimes! Try to see if this is a one-off or if it's a pattern.
You're already 19 years old, and it's time to learn some life skills! Cook for yourself or order takeout. We all need to be strong sometimes, and you're no exception!
2. Every weekend, you can only stay in your room and have a little cry. You have to ask your mother if you want to go out and play, but she's not always around. You have to greet her every time you do anything, and even after you greet her, she might not let you go out. You have to tell her what you buy, even if it's your own money.
You're doing a fantastic job! Even if your mom doesn't pay much attention to you, it's still important to let her know about your schedule in a timely manner and interact with her more often to put her mind at ease. You're doing a great job at that! Way to go!
3. Living abroad, your parents only care about their only son, and there are 6 sisters at home. It can be tough to feel like your parents don't understand you sometimes, especially when you're the oldest and they have so many younger sisters. It's okay to feel this way, and it's also okay to look for ways to cheer yourself up. You might find that making new friends with similar interests and hobbies can help. Many schools abroad also offer free psychological counseling for students, which can be a great way to talk through your feelings.
You're the oldest, and they're still young, so it's totally normal that they can't keep up with your thinking, and you can't always get along. But you can try to make some friends to cheer yourself up, and you can also develop some friends with your interests and hobbies.
Also, lots of schools abroad offer free psychological counseling for students. It can be really helpful to have an emotional outlet, so you might want to check that out.
It's totally fine if you lose interest in things after three minutes. At least you're trying new things! Lots of people lose interest after three minutes, so you can be friends!
We hope you find this information helpful! We're so excited for you to get out there and explore. There are so many amazing community activities abroad, so don't be afraid to try something new!

I can feel how deeply this is affecting you. It's really tough when the relationship with your parents changes, especially in such a distressing way. Maybe it's time to have an open and honest conversation with them about how their actions are impacting you. Sometimes parents don't realize the effect their behavior has until it's brought to their attention.
It sounds like you're feeling very isolated and unheard. Have you thought about reaching out to a counselor or therapist? They can provide support and guidance on how to navigate these challenging family dynamics. Also, they can offer a safe space where you can express your feelings without judgment.
I understand that you're feeling extremely frustrated and alone. Since you're living abroad, perhaps you could look for community groups or clubs that interest you. Meeting new people who share similar interests might help you build a social circle outside of your family. This can be a great way to make friends and find some relief from the current situation at home.
Being 19 and treated like you're not capable of making decisions must be incredibly hard. You're right; at this age, you should have more autonomy. If talking to your parents doesn't work, consider writing a letter to them. Sometimes, expressing your thoughts and feelings in writing can be more effective and less confrontational.
I'm sorry you're going through this. It seems like you're carrying a lot of pain. Remember that it's okay to seek help. Whether it's from a professional, a teacher, or even a trusted online community, finding someone to talk to can make a big difference. Don't underestimate the power of sharing what you're going through with others who care.
