Dear Thelma: Suffering emotional abuse from my parents


By Thelma

Dear Thelma,

I am an adult but I am still living in my parents' house because I am still a student.

My parents provide me with adequate food, a roof over my head and pay for my education. I don't think they have ever neglected me when it comes to the basic needs a parent should provide for a child.
