I hear your pain and frustration. Parents are people, just like you and me. It sounds like have issues of their own and this prevents them giving you what you need. We all need love - a touch - a hug - reassuring words.
My advice, find your comfort in trusted friends. Go to the library and read self-help books. They can help! Be kind to yourself. If no one else can give you what you want, give yourself the reassurance. Listen to your own sence of reason; you'll find your own advice will make sence. Love you.
All the best.

Alice, what a heart wrenching piece. There is an old saying that says.. "You cant choose your family but you can choose your friends" Mr Darcy has given excellent advice. If you choose carefully and surround yourself with good friends they become the family that you need and they will be there for you through hardship and joy and when you are ready you will create your own family. You will find someone nice who will love you just the way you are.
You are stronger than you think so don't let the trials of your past decide who you are in the future.. Sending you a huge hug and hopes for a brighter future. All my best wishes Milly x
