My family hates me but won’t let me leave I’m 27
The story
Growing up my mom and my dad abused physically and emotionally me and all of my siblings. I seem to be the only one in the family who can’t stand the toxicity. 7 years ago I moved 7 hours away family continued to chase me down. (all of my family lives within an hour of each other except for my grandpa in another state) ***and recently even he admitted to making a plan in trying to chase me down to so that I would move back around my family*** a year ago I moved back in with my mom under the pretense that we were going to heal together and that my mom recently admitted she lied to me to get me to move back so that she could change me. She is disgusted that I’m Bisexual, she tells me I’m possessed with demons. I have already lost a bunch of weight since moving back and I hate it I wish I weighed more but my mom keeps trying to get me to lose more. She hates that I were makeup and take time in my day to dress myself in that way that I like I’m the only goth musically and appearance in my family and that constantly try and crush that out of me. Today my bother picks me up and starts screaming at me telling me I’m the problem in my family and that I just need to slap a smile of my face and accept things for how they are. To top that all off I’m in collage and I work and my family tries to stop me from doing school to do a bunch of labor on the property. I’m so drained. I have also been the only one in my family to get high level of care I take antidepressants, I have seen many therapist and psychiatrist to deal with all of this trauma. I am aware of my family disfunction I am not seeking advice I just need to get this off my chest in this moment because today I’m packing my things and I’m leaving tomorrow I’m going to be homeless for a bit but my peace is worth the struggle for awhile. There is so much more about the horrific things my family as done to each other and I can’t do this anymore I blocked all of my family members tonight and I’m leaving tomorrow. I’m letting go of the stress and setting boundaries and allowing myself to have the peace that I deserve.

Wow, your story is truly moving and I can't help but feel a deep sense of admiration for the strength it must have taken to come to such a significant decision. It's quite commendable that you're prioritizing your own well-being and setting boundaries, even when it means facing uncertainty. Have you thought about reaching out to local shelters or support groups that could offer a helping hand during this transition? There's often more support out there than we realize, and I'm sure the peace you'll gain from stepping away will be incredibly liberating. Keep holding onto hope: there's something so empowering in choosing yourself and your happiness over toxic surroundings. 🌟
Wow, it sounds like you've been through a real rollercoaster with your family and it's amazing that you're finally focusing on yourself. It's tough when the people who are supposed to love you the most don't accept you for who you are; honestly, deciding to leave and find your own peace is a massive step towards a better life. I can't even imagine how exhausting it must have been dealing with all that negativity while trying to balance school and work but choosing to block them out seems like the right move for your mental health. When I was in a rough spot, distancing myself from toxic folks was hard but totally worth it, so keep looking forward because brighter days will come! 😊
Man, what a mess!!!!!! It's wild how family can be the biggest weight around your neck sometimes. Good for you for choosing peace over their nonsense; life’s too short to deal with that kind of toxic drama. You've got guts to walk away and prioritize yourself like this!! reminds me of when I ditched a circle of so-called "friends" who were pulling me down. Sure, it was tough at first! But totally worth it for my sanity. You’re not alone in this, there’s a whole world out there waiting and people who’ll love you just as you are! Keep on truckin’!!!
