When I was talking to my counsellor, she told me this. Do you believe it's true?

well im a fourteen yr old girl and i can relate to you very well... i have a verbally abusive and degrading father and a mother who claims she loves him but is always being hurt by him. i went, and am still sort of going through, a rebellious stage. the only difference is that i have to put on a good face at school bc no one knows what goes on at home. sometimes bc of this reason, i tend to isolate myself from my family to avoid being belittled. which just makes it worse because he thinks that i think i am too good to be with my family... or at least thats what he yells at me. when i read your "question" i thought of a book i recently read. it was called just listen by sarah dessen. from what you wrote about yourself, i pictured you sort of as one of the main characters. i completely understand what you are going through. and i dont think you should just stop talking to the girl. someone can never have too many friends to talk to about problems and such. and she obviously doesnt think that way about not caring about you(in a friendly way) to have started talking to you in the first place. i dont think i answered your question, but it felt good to reply to someone that understands too. i totally understand, and im sorry that i couldnt help... like i said, i am only fourteen. i hope everything works out for you.
