I’m sorry you parents differ on perspective about your schooling. I agree with your mom as long as you did your best effort then that’s all what should matter. Don’t stress to much about grades because when your done with school Noone will care if you have straight A’s, as long as you graduate and received your degrees/diplomas.

I am sorry he slapped you. There was no reason for him to do that to you and you deserve better. As for his threat of disowning you, I do find it absurd for a parent to even disown a child they raised over something for simple as grades. It seems he may have an underlying problem or deep insecurity problem of his own. Sorry to pass judgment and offend, I don’t mean anything negative, forgive me.

But as for the cutting I am deeply sorry you were pushed into a position where there were no better option for you to cope with your emotions. If you need help or an outlet of some sort help, there are people here, Including me who are willing to help and listen.

But please don’t feel down about yourself. Some people act irrational and do things out of spite when their angry. So dont feel your any less of a person because you were mistreated. You are much more.

I hope I helped, take care.

I understand. It can be a burden at times.
Just do your best and be there for your younger siblings when they need help and you will be a wonderful example for them to lead by.

But do what makes you happy. Dont be afraid to fall, thats life, just make sure you get back up again and keep striving.

Your not a failure.
Keep your head high and you will go far.
