Shall We Talk?

No.

I say you don't listen to me, and you tell me I don't talk to you?!

How can I talk to you when you give me shit for everything that I say? What would you think and say if I told you I almost failed that test? You would not feel my sadness. You would only tell me I didn't work hard enough.

How can I tell you why I am sad when you will get angry over the things I say? What would you do if I told you that I miss a friend? You would not feel the pain. You would probably throw me out of the house.

How can I let go in front of you when you condemn me for being weak? What would you think if I told you I was struggling to survive? You would not feel my fear. You would tell me that it's my own fault.

Why would I go and do something that would give myself more trouble and make me feel worse?

I thought parents are supposed to encourage their kids? Why do I get blamed and put down for being weak?

No. I have nothing to say to you.
