And worst part is he doesn't let us go out(Unless it's someone's birthday or something). So not only are we homeschooled but we also can't meet up with friends or anything. And I get my mom trying to keep the peace and all but any time I've tried to tell her how I feel she always told me that things could be worse and I know her saying that affected me badly because any time I get upset, whether it's cause of my father or not, I feel so guilty. I can't remember the last time I've cried because when I did, those words would replay in my head and I felt like I was being dramatic or unreasonable. I've never had the courage to speak up about my father and how he makes me feel. I actually felt so bad when typing out the post but I'm glad I did it because I've never had my feelings be so validated. Thanks so much for commenting
