You just need to realise that you are a free bird and that you need to flutter your wings and fly off. Nothing will change in life if you keep remaining where you are. Take incidences of girls eloping from home for good and face the consequences all along in life. So get out and start rescuing people from life instead of waiting for some one to rescue you.
I live in the US, and believe me, there are many people unhappy with their lives right now. I find myself the best way is to associate with positive, loving, kind people--even if it means separating from toxic family members. Of course I do understand, if you rely on them for food or shelter or living that is tougher. I also find that if i focus on being a good and loving person, and accept others as being how they are because they have lived their own unique life with their own story and struggles, that helps. But, my heart goes out to you. The world in general needs more love, acceptance, kindness, understanding...
@Mishi Sometimes just talking to others helps, connecting, being listened to--and also realizing that you are not alone in your struggles. Love and compassion, kindness and caring are the answers!!
I lived in first world but with a toxic, sociopath cruel mother. My life has been a nightmare. I have chronic PTSD as an adult from years of threats, gaslighting, control, extreme ridicule etc. She would rage so much and once threatened to kill me. It is extremely hard just getting by day to day, I feel nonhuman. I am unemployed so things are very tight financially. People say just take baby steps to find joy or confidence but this affected every part of life, not only work or only dating etc. So it feels overwhelming try ing to heal all of it. But I'm going to keep on, day by day even a little. My heart goes out to you🌷
I've been through similar things with my family as well(one person in particular). Keeping your distance has worked for me until everything settles down.
@YoMomma I'm happy for you ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ Yes, we do have libraries here and guess what I was also thinking to do the same to escape toxicity for a while hehe ~
Some of the most wonderful people emerge from bad circumstances like that, I wish you well, for the way away from the problems and better times to become reality.
My late teens were rough too, my mom gave me hell .. i ran away.. even tho america is considered a first world country there are poor people here as well and my family is among them .. anyway i ran away.. it’s not safe for everyone (a lot of run aways become victims or killed but i survived probably because im more wary than most people but also maybe God protected me too idk ) sorry your family is giving you hell.. it’s hard when one is young and don't have much options .. do you have other family you can stay with or are they also the hellish type?
@YoMomma I'm happy you made out ^^ My relatives are also kinda toxic so it's no no, I only have myself to rely on and I'm trying to make things right for me. I appreciate your response ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ
@Mishi ok i married a trucker and we traveled the country till he retired and we live a mile away from my family 😅 maybe escape temporarily from your family by getting a job outside the house or spending time at the library or something just to get away from them idk .. do you guys have public libraries in your country or is that not a thing there?
