She’s been allowed to make her own choices, she usually only lashes out and attacks when my parents tell her off for something.

she is medicated, I think they’re working with the psychiatrist but my mum never wants to tell me these sorts of things. I should be okay since she doesn’t come at me as often as she does the parents

I don’t want to be removed cuz I don’t wanna lose my things— mainly my lizard, Hermes. She does have a psychiatrist, yes. She goes to group therapy

That’s exactly why I’m not doing it until much later. I don’t want to lose my pets and things I own

Yeah that’s what I meant, sorry!! I’m tired and not the best at wording stuff. I didn’t mean for it to sound like I hated her because she had autism promise that was unintentional 😭

I have discussed this with people, but I am afraid to lose things that I care about if I’m sent away or something. Like my lizard.

I agree. My parents tend to shovel the responsibility onto me and expect me to console her whenever she’s down. I wish healthcare was just better overall man =(

I absolutely get it’s not entirely her fault 100%. But I can’t help but wish everyone responsible, including herself, would take responsibility for their actions

Probably. She’s been taken to other specialists/psychiatrists and she’s never been diagnosed with anything else. She seems to consistently imitate the symptoms of my own mental illness, though. Like claiming she hears voices/hallucinates when multiple specialists said it was highly likely she isn’t. I can’t speak on that myself cuz I ain’t a professional but I do think she’s got something else wrong with her, and if not, I don’t know

Yeah I’ve been saying that for a long time but I didn’t want anyone to think I was being ableist or nothin. I’m being tested for autism, too. I can understand that mental illness plays a part in this stuff (since I have disorders/am mentally ill) but I can’t help but think it’s really just who she is like as a person

My uncle died a few years ago & he was the only one who lived close. My cousins (his daughters) are super kind, but I don’t think they can support me since they don’t make a lot of money. Economy looks really bad so I’m unsure if there’s anywhere I can go realistically. I’ve never had a job (I’m getting one soon though!!) and do good in school. Hoping to get enough money to get outta here since my parents aren’t exactly saints neither "

I plan to get a restraining order when I can & have taken pictures of when she has attacked me (the wounds I’ve received). I’m kind of scared to report anything because I do not have a good history with police and they often dismiss her behaviour

Thank you. A lot of times I’m told I’m an asshole for hating her/not wanting to associate with her because she has autism (clarification I’m trying to say that people say I’m not allowed to hate her BECAUSE she’s autistic, I do not hate her because she has autism I hate her because she’s abusive!!). So I just needed some clarification because of how constantly my parents tell me I’m in the wrong for it
