throughout my life, i’ve had to live in this house. this house that has been fulled with neglect, physical and mental abuse, and harassment. i have failed my attempt two times and have been sent to counseling and therapy but i am forced to stay quiet on the sole reasoning of my depression and mental illness. i grew up in a household where my parents didn’t love each other, i was abused, and i felt trapped. i was and still aren’t allowed to speak up about it because my abuser, my father, is the main financial source for our family. my mom has been emotional abused and manipulated by him and it hurts to see it happen every single day. i am not in danger anymore, i haven’t been hit since i was little. but i suffer from ptsd because of my traumatic childhood. i have been clean from self harming for almost six months, but i’m not sure how long i will be able to sustain that. recently, my father has been inappropriately commenting and staring at me and my sister’s body, repeatedly making us uncomfortable. i can’t even describe how much i want to run away. i am also a closeted queer who so happens to also have homophobic parents. if i were to come out, i’m not sure if i will even have a house to live in. unfortunately, i have to first wait until i become of age, and become financially stable in order to move out. i just don’t know what to do, but thank you for listening.
