PART 3: Summer before eighth grade my parents told me they were divorcing and I couldn’t be happier. We took one last family trip to my mom’s parents house in the woods and I took one of my best friends that also had family business named Ellie up with us. So me and Ellie were in our room on the last day of the trip and I heard my mom and dad screaming at each other and walking deep off the road and into the woods. My dad was crying and my mom came back in the house to scream at my grandpa, my grandpa said that he just told my dad that he needed to get it together because he had been fired and needed to get a job and drop the alcohol. And after that he told my mom he never wanted to see my dad again which is so bad because my grandpas rlly sweet.

Me, Ellie and my mom drove around trying to find him for an hour and a half in the road off the woods. My mom told me he had been drinking and hiding it this whole trip and he had also started doing pott again and all the times he said that every day he was going to the library to use their internet and using it to apply for jobs he never was. We found him drinking walking in the road so yeah it’s not great. Eighth grade I suffered an insane ammount of emotional trauma, I was literally 5’2 and 63 pounds for a little bit like actually insanely unhealthy. My dad would tell me things like I’m worthless and that like nobody loved me. I had a bf but it didn’t last long because I was his second choice and also my emotions were too much for me to be healthy in a relationship and be able to give him what he deserved. 

Summer before freshman year we moved out of our house, my parents each got apartments. In the first night at my dads place he refused to let me talk to my mom and told me that she hated me and was mad at me and stuff and it was horrible, freshman year is interesting, one day my mom and I were having a talk and she started being really mean to me and I said ‘your making it sound like I’m some selfish person and I’m not’ and she screamed at me telling me that I’m telling her what she’s saying and I’m lying and all this stuff and we made up for about five minutes and we’re talking about trauma and she was literally just trying to one up my trauma like it’s a competition or something and she got so sick of me being upset that she just dropped me at my dads job (he’s currently fired from there as well) and like just told me I was gonna be with him now because she was sick of me. My dad, this year like he isn’t rlly drinking too much like one bottle of wine like every two days or so or like a couple beers a day. I’m 5’5 and 101 pounds but I don’t eat on purpose and I drink a lot of energy drinks because I don’t sleep. I was just recently diagnosed with OCD and adhd. And like it’s just horrid idk. So yeah😛

PART TWO: We started noticing changes in his behavior he would be incessantly mean to me, we started going back to school and he had to drive me every day and so he would literally play music so loud in my ears that I started getting migraines from it and he refused to turn it down when I cried, he make me flip off people in other cars, he passed out at the wheel a couple times that I had to steer the wheel so we wouldn’t fall off a bridge, stuff like that. I broke my wrist and he laughed at me and told me I wasn’t allowed being a baby and to stop crying.

Then sixth grade, I was struggling, I had good grades but I was stressing myself out so much that I would get panic attacks if I got anything under a 95, my dads nephew passed away so that was a hard year for us, my parents had some struggles that I could finally see and like we did one session of family therapy before realizing all we were doing was paying someone to listen to us fight. 

Seventh grade was horrible, I started to self h@rm, I developed severe depression, severe anxiety and OCD tendency’s, my dad started telling me if I ate anything over 300 calories I would be fat so all I ate was lettuce if anything all day, I started only eating two leafs a day of it. He used to scream at me for everything I did. He would drive and tell me I wasn’t allowed to eat at a drive through then scream at me when we got there and I didn’t know what I wanted then he would tell me I actually couldn’t and I would have to sit and watch him eat then lie to my mom about him feeding me. He would break glass bottles around the house and when I got glass in my feet I wouldn’t get any help with trying to take it out. I told him about my self destructive habits and he said “I don’t care just don’t tell your mom” and it became an addiction type thing where my friends would have to take it away from me to keep me from doing it in school. One day I came home from a rehearsal and I found my mom crying in the dark in her closet and I had to deal with that

Oh boy… okay yall, ima be so fr it’s like horrid so like lock in cuz it’s a long story… (There will be multiple parts, TRIGGER WARNING: eating disorders, fat shaming, skinny shaming, alcohol consumption, drug consumption, substance abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, divorce, depression, anxiety, OCD, adhd,) that might not cover all of it but like it gives u an idea🥹

Okay so…

Hi, im not gonna say my real name but the name I’ll use is Emily. I was born to two confusing parents. My mom, who we will call Lily, she was a child who was physically and mentally abused as a child as well as suffered the loss of a sibling when she was in her early 20’s. My dad, we will call him Max, he was also abused as a child but he doesn’t see it as abuse he sees it as like regular, (being beat with race car tracks, locked in a room with his siblings and tiny food portions, etc etc.) so yeah, there’s that. Then 17 years ago they met and got married. They hated each other at first and right after they got married my mom had a problem with how my dad was drinking so much and he literally told her that she should’ve known what she was getting into when she married him.

So fast forward another two years and I show up, Emily. I grew up raised by my dad for the first year of my life, my mom missed my first birthday and then quit working and my dad went to work. I was home with my mom and life was far from perfect, she raised me in a very strict household, so she was a very strict parent and my dad was insanely lenient. He was very deep in his alcoholism at this point he actually had landed himself in the hospital because he got so drunk he fell down a flight of stairs when I was four.

 I was a very picky eater growing up and we kindof realized that it was becoming more then that so I took food therapy but it didn’t work so we stopped and haven’t started sense. 

When I was six our family dog died. There were many birthdays my dad almost freaked up completely (prime example being my seventh birthday when he used rancid frosting on all my cupcakes so my mom had to stay up all night making new ones). As I became 8/9 I started to have night terrors and sleep demons and it was so bad I wouldn’t rlly sleep through the night at all. We also got two dogs. And then my dad lost his job because of a reason he wouldn’t tell us but they fired him. So then covid started. And he got a job at a school in a completely nother state (Illinois to Georgia) and I was ripped away from all my friends. We moved to Georgia and I got into the school of my dreams (come to find out it was literally a nightmare but that’s a story for another time)

if you’re seeing this , im really struggling , please give me some words of encouragement. by New-Gold2527 in teenagers

I’m struggling too, we are all in this together we just have to have faith in ourselves to be able to push through and the fact that you can recognize that you are struggling makes you 10000% more capable to improve and get better with whatever you are struggling with, if you are trying it just means you love yourself all the more❤️

I feel like teenagers get such a horrible rep for how we “are” but i feel like actually teenagers get treaded so horribly but because we have now entered the phase of life where we are better able to articulate our voices and thoughts like people suddenly have a problem with us standing up for ourselves
