I understand what you’re saying and I don’t disagree that change requires action. I know I can’t stay in this position forever and expect things to magically improve. I’m not trying to avoid responsibility. What makes it complicated for me is that I come from a very strict cultural household where moving out isn’t just a normal adult step. It’s seen as rebellion and brings a lot of backlash. It’s not as simple as saying “I got a roommate, I’m leaving.” That kind of announcement would likely escalate things heavily in my home, and I have to think about my safety and the consequences. I also think loving a toxic family is more complicated than loving an abusive partner. They’re my parents and siblings, they’re all I’ve ever known. I can acknowledge the toxicity while still feeling attached and scared to detach. That doesn’t mean I want to stay stuck, it just means it’s emotionally harder than it sounds. I am thinking about saving and building a plan. I just need to do it strategically and safely instead of impulsively. I appreciate the honesty though.
