For any kids:
You are not supposed to be afraid of your parents
You never deserve to be hit (not even lightly, not even if you killed someone)
No one has the right to touch you without permission, not even your family members, including your parents
Your parents can love you and still hurt you, that does not make the hurt okay
Adults you trust can still be wrong
It’s not normal for everything to always be overwhelming
If you are having a problem with any of these things, do your best to talk to a licensed therapist (if they are licensed therapists they legally cannot tell your parents your personal information)
You deserve happiness
You deserve privacy
You deserve to feel good
You are not alone in your struggles
Your struggles are valid, no matter how small they are
You deserve love and kindness
You deserve to be surrounded by people who love you and care for you
