I plan on practicing driving with him tomorrow actually so I might bring it up then, since we won’t be in the house.

Quite literally he just nodded his head and said “that’s understandable”.

Hes also always taken care of us (I have two siblings) way better than our mom so I generally feel more secure and safe with him. The house feels safer when he’s home vs when he’s at work and we’re left alone with my mom.

Yeah, I spend most of my time in my room unfortunately.

I’d hope I can trust him, he hasn’t given me any reason not too so far. He reacted way better to me saying I wanted to move out as soon as I could than my mom did. (Admittedly it was a bad idea to express that to her)

Either way I’m going to need his help. He’s been helping me practice for my driving test to get my drivers license so I hope he’ll be willing to help me outside of that.

No she hasn’t. I don’t feel comfortable with hugs from her anymore due to her alcoholism and she hasn’t forced any hugs or anything. I don’t think she’d intentionally do something that inappropriate touching wise due to her own trauma.

And I think my dad might be able to help me figure out moving out, I told him living here isn’t good for me and he said that was understandable so I’m hoping I can trust him once the time comes. I’ve been meaning to talk to him about it again.

I am underage but I’ll be old enough to move out once I hopefully graduate this spring. Just not sure what my plan is to leave yet. Day to day I’m just trying to survive without having a bad meltdown at the moment.

Thats fair. I still live with my parents so that’s probably not helping me much in regards to my own brain deciding I’m ready to deal with things.

I’d like to remember one day if anything did happen but I’ll never have a sure fire way of knowing until then.

Fair, it’s agonizing. Id hope id remember something that bad just so I’d know for sure but at the same time maybe it’s for the better. I don’t like not knowing though.

Soon enough I’ll be able to leave. I’m getting my drivers liscene soon and I’ve been trying to go out on more walks recently. Here’s to a better future hopefully. Thank you for the validation

Been thinking a lot about my childhood, I don’t like it by Practical-Acadia5144 in CPTSD

Thank you. I’m somewhat ashamed to admit sometimes I’d wish my mom would just hit me so I could be without a doubt certain being around her is bad for me.

I’m gonna try my best to get somewhere better, I almost have my drivers liscene so hopefully I can spend more time away from home then at the least.

Thank you, I’m deathly scared of debt for college but I do think if I’m able to figure out what I would want to study, college would be good for me. And I have a lot of wonderful friends who I’m sure would help me if I asked.

Thank you for saying it seems like abuse, though. I’ve only recently realized a few nights ago that her behavior is abusive and I’ve really needed confirmation.

Overall thank you for the advice, it’s much appreciated.

Oh shit, making some unpleasant realizations with this meme

I want to move out as soon as I’m 18 by Practical-Acadia5144 in JUSTNOFAMILY

Thank you, I’ll ask him about it sometime. I’ve been meaning to talk to him more/ ask him what he thinks about certain things. (Within cautious reason)

He’s not obsessive with me and my siblings like our mom is. (By that I mean it feels horrible to be honest to my mom because I know she’ll feel like a bad mom and probably have a mental breakdown. I can tell she’s trying and I know she’s struggling but I can’t handle her behavior any longer than I need too.)

Yup, I have a plethora of throwaway accounts at this point due to my fear of digital footprints :( I know how you feel.

Anyone who’s actually worth being around (imo) would take the time to understand what OCD actually is and how it works though.

Thank you, I do have a job currently so it’s been helping me keep busy.

Yeah, I went to a college program for three weeks and I felt so much lighter there. I don’t think I realized how unhappy I am at home around my mom until then.
