- my dad enjoys making fun of people who are mentally ill or disabled and idk what to do about it,, he has a student in his class (he's a ceramics teacher) that has sensory issues and he constantly makes fun of her and calls her his "weirdo student" for not being able to touch the clay w/out gloves,,

- my mom yells at me when i cry or have panic attacks because she's "not hurting me" and that i need to "stop making it up" , my dad usually just hovers over me when this happens or tells me to stop trembling/rocking back n forth,,

- both my parents say that i'm too young to be gay or trans and that its a decision. my dad refuses to call me they/them because he "doesn't even know how to use a they in a sentence" (even though?? he literally has before??) my mom says she's never calling me my preferred name because its "not my name", n my dad has said that he's worried i'll always be explaining myself (even though i enjoy talking abt my identity)

is there anything i can do?
