I’m not sure what to do… My parents hate me.?

Question by George O’ Patrick: I’m not sure what to do… My parents hate me.?
Hey, im 16 and i think my parents hate me. I used to smoke weed and drink a little with my friends, but very rarely. At a party a month or two ago i made the very bad mistake by trying E. I vowed to never to do it again because i didnt like it too much and i know what it does to me. Anyway, my mom found where i kept my weed and got really angry with me. She also found a water bottle full of vodka (which i have no idea where it came from, honestly). I, of course had everything taken away. One night my mom was reading my phone when she saw a text from my cousin giving me tips on how to take care of myself if i ever did E again. My mom was furious, she yelled at me for a good hour on how horrible of a person i am. My dad didnt care much for the pot (he smokes too, i dont think my mom knows) and he was really disappointed with me about the E. At first it wasn’t bad, i could handle the grounding and whatnot, but as the weeks went on they got worse. They started sending me to a therapist because of extensive “drug abuse” and for being an alcoholic, plus drug testing. Then they started having these talks with me saying what a bad kid i am, and how disgusted they are with me. They constantly reassure me of that fact… They told me last week that they wish i had never been their son and if i ever defied them again in any way, they would take me away from my school, and from all of my friends. They told me if they ever found something on my drug tests at all they would send me to rehab. I’ve tried to talk to them about it but they just get angry with me. I get a 4.2 GPA and i never get in trouble… never once have i hated who i am. But the constant, “your a horrible kid”, from my parents has kinda gotten to me. I think im depressed, i hate myself now and i believe them when they say i have no future. I’ve been thinking of cutting myself… But i really dont know what to do, theres still a lot more that isnt on here because it would be too long. What should i do?

It’s called tough love and you brought it on yourself. Ask for a chance to prove yourself to them. Then become the most straight arrow kid you can be. Get good grades and maybe they will start to trust you again.
