The story

I feel like I don't want people's pity or their complaints anymore—I don't know if a previous post of mine is online—I don't want her. I don't want any more rescues. This is what my mother was getting at. That woman only lived to point out what was wrong with me, going to extremes for God's sake, and supported by others. All her life, that woman has lived to pressure and thus intervene with me. What's the point of having someone as a slave? That's why she had her mother and me. Until when? It bothers me because I feel like I can't say bad things here, otherwise, I feel like I'd be breaking the rules.

I hate my mother. I never want to see her again. Since my treatment, she's turned out to be the person I hate the most, even more than my aunt. Manipulative, cynical, and also someone who deceives people by using people who don't share what she claims. That's what deception is all about. My mother is a criminal, a person who simply thrives on adventure, doing things her way, and she likes it. How can anyone practice that? How can anyone like such practices? Has my mother lost her mind, for God's sake? How could my mother go to such extremes? God forbid. This is too much. I can't be with someone like that, nor should anyone. What's that? On top of that, using my grandmother to get me to come to her house, luring me in through pity. Damn, what kind of mentality is that, for God's sake? My mother needs a psychologist or to be locked up in a mental hospital immediately, or I'd even include being behind bars. I can't believe these attitudes I picked up from my mother, even though I'm aware of this. How could she like my mother? How can my grandmother support that? Have they lost their minds?

My mother was even willing to go to the university to see if I had earned my degree, when that's a matter for me, for my adulthood. It can't be that the university gave her information about this. I can't believe my mom went to elaborate or make my situation worse regarding this issue. What happened to the degree wasn't her problem. My mom even said I should do it for her happiness, for God's sake. How could that woman have believed I would act for her happiness? In the places where I received care for my treatment, they took away my degree. I'm going to have to burn it to avoid any further trouble. It can't be that people wanted to mess with my degree. Besides, they're thinking about my future when I've been separated from them for a long time. My life isn't their problem, and I've proven it on several occasions. It can't be that my mom didn't understand that, as well as other family members. And at this point! I waited until they were more vulnerable to make a bigger suggestion! What mental misery, for God's sake! I can't believe this; this is damn abuse. I can't believe this happened to me; frankly, I can't believe it. I feel extremely confused. It's definitive that I can't have anything with this family; if I do anything, they'll want to say it's theirs. They'll make excuses. I can't continue wasting my time with them. This attitude is too much.

My mother asking crazy questions, inquiring about my life, just like my aunt did when I never wanted to share my life with them. I mean, this is an abuse of their authority as housewives. This is shocking. I'm never dealing with any of them again, under any circumstances. They pushed me to the limit. It can't be that my own family pushed me to the limit. My mom leaves me alone at university, everywhere, even though I tell her things to her face. How many times has that woman tried to make me look bad on the street because of my treatment? That woman made a living by making me angry, for God's sake. My aunt was worse; she only made a living by pressuring me more and more, just like her. I can never go back to these relatives. Living with them is a failure, it's impossible. It's not even stable when I'm not there, where everyone imposes themselves on her or the other way around. I don't know how my father could have thought of living with her, just when I was feeling bad. I find it hard to believe my father didn't really want to kill me, when this was the case and he'd known it for a long time.

Why did my father send me to live with two crazy women? Maybe whatever was wrong with me wouldn't kill me, but putting up with them would have killed me. I mean, frankly, they were unbearable. No human being can live with such miserable people. I personally am grateful for having maintained zero distance from them at all costs. If they thought there would be any gratitude from me, they were wrong. In fact, it was a way for both of us to gradually escape, to run away from there at all costs. I preferred to go home to be alone, despite all the consequences there had been and would be. That treatment was so unnecessary, I mean, it was the worst because it made me need company and my life is made for that I'm alone; that joke didn't take me seriously, it was as if life couldn't conspire with the system, and that's why I feel so excluded from it.

I feel so furious about what happened. So angry. I'm about to break everything that's ever been and ever will be. It can't be that I had to live through that. It can't be that it happened to me. I feel so angry. And on top of that, those women, my mom and my aunt, trying to see me again. How nauseating. I mean, they have no shame. After all the mess they made, even my aunt pressured me to stay at her house! They have no shame. They want me to act like nothing's happening to put up with them, and no, definitely not. I'd rather they put them through the worst possible time, but I'm not going to risk it for them. As expected, sooner or later the storm hit. It didn't happen at first, but then it finally hit. How eager they were to think that I wouldn't react, that I wouldn't do anything. How careless, for God's sake. I've always been one of those people who flaunts the truth, with prudence, but when they want to escape, what choice do I have? I have no choice but to act this way, under pressure from that same way of acting. I feel like these women are looking for some kind of companion in life, something like that, but I'm not there for them, and they do everything they can—coerce, play group games, etc.—to make it happen. I say it categorically: I would never share my life with them. And then come and impose this on me? In effect, they saw me as a toy, a little bag to be molded. That's a miserable mentality, for God's sake!

hey there, I totally get that you're really upset and venting—it's totally okay to let it all out like this. but just a thought, sometimes the way we perceive stuff when we're emotional isn't always the full picture. family dynamics can be super complex, right? so maybe your mom and aunt have their own ways of showing care, which can be a bit overbearing. 🤔 it's so important to set boundaries, but sometimes taking a step back and considering their perspective might help, even if just a tad. after all, communication is key, and maybe calmly expressing your feelings to them might shift things around. life throws all sorts of challenges our way, but they often turn into opportunities for growth and understanding. cherishing the good bits, no matter how small, can sometimes shine light during cloudy moments. wishing you peace and clarity as you navigate through it all!

hey, i hear you’re going through a tough time with your family, and it totally sounds rough; but sometimes when emotions run high, we might see things a bit differently than they really are. i remember when i was younger, i thought my family was too much in my business, too. over time, i realized they just wanted the best for me, even if their ways seemed off. it's like sometimes they just don’t know how to show it properly. what if you try having a super casual chat when things are calm? you never know, might just help to clear the air and maybe see where they're coming from. stay hopeful, because over time, these things can change for the better!

totally hear what you're saying and it sounds like you've been through a lot!!! family dynamics can be complicated, and it's totally valid to feel overwhelmed. sometimes people don't see how their behavior impacts others, and it's frustrating when boundaries aren't respected. sounds like you've been dealing with emotional abuse, which no one deserves. it's understandable to prioritize your own well-being in this situation; maybe finding a support system outside of your family could help? think about what's best for you and how you can maintain your mental health. hang in there, because things can improve over time!!!

it sounds like you're navigating a challenging and tumultuous familial environment, and I can completely empathize with your frustration. emotional manipulation and lack of boundaries can indeed undermine one's mental health. growing up, I experienced a similar dynamic with certain family members who seemed perpetual in their criticism rather than support. how did your mother manage to obtain information from the university about your degree? that seems like a significant breach of privacy; perhaps it's worth investigating further. it's understandable to feel wary about re-engaging with them, especially when trust has been eroded!!! maintaining your autonomy and prioritizing your mental health is crucial, yet it certainly doesn’t come without its challenges. it might be beneficial to seek out confidentiality in professional guidance; navigating such intricate dynamics can be overwhelming. hang in there, and remember, your feelings are completely valid, and there are pathways to reclaiming your stability and peace of mind.

hey there, i get that things are really tough between you and your family right now, and those feelings are completely valid. but sometimes it helps to consider multiple perspectives; family members might overstep boundaries because they care, even if it comes across in a way that feels uncomfortable. it sounds like there's a whole lot of emotional baggage and miscommunication going on, which can be super frustrating 😕. maybe there's an opportunity for a calm conversation about boundaries and expectations. even if things aren't perfect, small steps could gradually improve the situation. everyone's just trying their best in their own way, and while it's okay to maintain your space, understanding can sometimes help ease the tension. hang in there, things have a way of turning around over time!
