Referrals

[Guest]

Hello!
I am 18 yr old senior, and I am struggling BADLLY. I am emotionally abused at home and neglected, by people who swear they love me and have good intentions (they do, but that remains irrelevant when comparing it to my demise). Imagine loving someone so much you wreck them to pieces. Love is does not shield one from the abuse and pain one inflicts on them. I am starting to feel the same pain someone would feel being phsyciallya and sexually abused... I looked up signs and my suffering is equivelant to all those abused children. I feel mentally unsafe, scared, alone and isolated. yet if you were to step into my house and meet my family, you will think that we live in peace. I am looking for support groups--- free ones. Not really clincal, but like lead by peers. I am also hoping you can provide me with services referrals (that are affordable as i cant lean on my parents for obvious reasons) for emotionally abused children..........please help me. I want to feel not alone and isolated (
