daily rants

Do you know the feeling when you're the youngest in the house and sometimes when there's an argument, you can't talk back even if your point is correct because you can't talk back to elders, it's just, it's so toxic to have a family like this, you can't speak for yourself because it might be wrong since you're just a kid and they're older than me.

@Queendragonfly good for you, you survived

Queendragonfly · 31-35, F

@itnotme I would have survived on the streets too.

As a woman it's easier to get help, someone who wanna rent a room or let you stay on their couch etc. There's also women shelters. And women's support therapy for free here and someone there could probably help me too.

I don't smoke. I don't drink. I don't do drugs. I'm an easy person to deal with and I look sweet and kind. Last time I went there I got new clothes and bathing products from them. Many donate money there so there's always help available.

I'm in the right country too, I wouldn't wanna be homeless in the US.

@itnotme point is. I wouldn't have survived staying under the mental abuse. Don't underestimate abuse, of any kind. It drew me suicidal and if I was alone maybe I would have ended my life

Start concentrating on getting out of there. Once you managed to get out and just cut all ties with them. Right now it seems nearly impossible but it can and will happen.

Talking back @ any age is wrong
You need to mature and learn how to initiate a conversation

My youngest sister has been able to speak freely all her life, everyone thought the things she said were "so cute" and by the time she came along, our parents were just tired. 😅
