MY PARENTS NEVER ASK MY YOUNGER SIBLING TO DO THESE THINGS. ITS ONLY ME.

Whenever my dad says “I love you” and I don’t say it back, he says “ohhh you really don’t love me do youuu?” (in a really sarcastic degrading tone).

AND IT MAKES ME FEEL REALLY BAD. I’m not used to saying I love you though, probably because no one has ever told me during childhood the way other families do (He always guilt trips me all the time about not saying ily)

It’s also worst when your mom joins in and starts calling you a bad person… she also starting saying “I love you” also :,,,)

I think that my dad and my mom only started doing these things bc they both know that im uncomfortable

Like one time I tried saying it back but I was so uncomfortable to the point where I started stuttering and then my parents started laughing and making fun of me, which me cry and go back to my room

Anyway now I feel like a shitty person for not being comfortable saying I love you and stuff bc my parents keep on saying that I’m a bad person and I can’t convince myself otherwise anymore =,,,,,)

(Also even if I tried saying “I love you” back my parents would 98% start laughing at me and start making fun of me for giving in)
