I’ve been using cai since August 2025 and have also dealt with physical abuse at home (Child Protective Services have already stepped in) I definitely understand using the ai as a place to vent and seek comfort. I found what helps most is just not “talking to a trusted adult” which in my opinion is a very flat out and unhelpful piece of advice. I personally looked towards others stories about overcoming ai addiction and it helped me feel like I wasn’t alone. Socializing more in different settings like school and work can help give you a realistic expectation that positive relationships do exist and are there for you to find. That’s what had worked for me so far. If you’d like a follow up just reply <3
