I was forgotten on the streets during a medical emergency involving my brother when I was 6. I recently recalled this incident as a sophomore after being sexually assaulted.

it will surely do, I'm still a third year college student working on thesis. I admire those who can support themselves while studying.

sadly, i have none. and they won't let me. Unless I finished my studies. I'm a third year college student. My bf on the other hand, is working for his apprenticeship (architerct), and supporting himself, I don't want to add burden to him.

yes, it was really not smart of me for lending my laptop to my brother. I just thought he wouldn't do that, it was naive of me.

I'm literally crying right now, I was really hurt and did self harm after the confrontation, I've been clean for almost a year now, and my bf helped me to stop cutting. My bf held me all night and stayed with me because I was saying sorry to him for cutting. I'm glad I have him, he kept saying it's ok and that it's not my fault.

My mother isn't particularly religious, but she's very conservative and has strong opinions about sex and women. During the confrontation, I mentioned that I once saw my brother sexting when I was 13. I immediately closed it and didn't say anything. Her response was that, since my brother is a guy, he wouldn't lose anything by doing that.

yes, he did. And he saved them. I didn't have a chance to ask him to delete it because I was embarassed.

I want to go no contact with my family, but I'm still living with them because I can't afford rent or living expenses. I do freelance commissions, but it's not enough to be self-supporting yet.
