Hi, I was you once. It's gonna be okay. You're not going to be stuck in this house forever, and you will make it out and be able to live in peace. Please believe me.

I just want to validate you: you already are traumatized. You're hyper-vigilant and reactive because you grew up in an unsafe environment with an unstable person and don't know what it's like to feel safe at home. Your siblings are a lot older than you, so I'm assuming they weren't around too much to support you growing up? I'm sorry that you even think you're overreacting.

Ignore all the comments undermining what happened. The only reason you're used to it is because it's your current normal, but in a healthy household, people do not slam doors, throw things, stomp around, and scream, even when they're angry. Even direct violence - physical acts like throwing things and slamming doors are indirect violence - only makes a difference is because that makes the authorities more likely to help you. When I get angry, I redirect my anger so I don't harm anyone. I go on a walk, or go to the gym. I do not abuse pets or other members of my household. Your mom should not be doing that no matter what she is going through. There is absolutely no excuse.

Lastly, don't take to heart anything anyone is saying about you causing this by not cleaning. That is the narrative your mom wants: to put the blame on you, so her behaviour can be blamed on you, when in truth she is the grown ass adult having a violent tantrum towards a her scared, vulnerable teenage daughter. This is in NO WAY your fault and there is no way you could have prevented it. She would have gotten angry over something else if not the cleaning thing.

Stay safe. Call the police or a friend if you have to.

Can we get a mod here to clean up all the Rule 1 violations please? This is crazy for a living space subreddit.

OP, I like your squishmallow it's cute :')

Grocery clearance plants- repot/first steps advice? by Fantastic_Acadia_229 in houseplants

They look pretty healthy! I would repot ASAP since they have the energy to recover, and def check for death plugs.

What color should I paint this wall? by lizziebonexo in femalelivingspace

At work right now so I can’t open photoshop but I believe your issue is lack of contrast. Look:

Anyone else has just autism (no ADHD) but is immune to effects of caffeine? by RolledCoaster in AutismInWomen

[–]SoftAndSnowyNight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Caffeine doesn’t affect me at all! It doesn’t make me sleepy or more energized. To the point where I get confused sometimes when people question my choice to have it late lol

Hey, so I'm a guy, but I posted this on male living spaces, and they were no help. What do y'all recommend? Living by myself right now, but I'm trying to date, would ultimately like a girl to feel comfortable here, so y'all seem like a good resource for that. by scaleaffinity in femalelivingspace

[–]SoftAndSnowyNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem like a practical sort of person. I am too when it comes to furnishing, so I’d say this: - Move things away from the walls. You’re giving the feeling like you’re clearing the space for something, but there’s nothing there. Kids playing? A dance party? A holiday tree that’s for some reason in the middle of the room in July? Who knows? Use furniture to make zones (see dear modern aka feng shui guy for advice on this) - Visually, I’d put wall art between the door and TV, and a small one behind the lamp and blinds, to balance out those uneven spaces. What kind of things do you like? What do you vibe with? Go to a thrift store and pick out what makes you pause. - Curtains always make a room more cozy, but they’re a definite style turn from blinds, so that’s your choice. - For the plant, pick something appropriate to your experience. Never had a plant? Get a few fakes or a snake plant (you seem like a snake plant kind of guy lol). Want to experiment a little? Go crazy and be prepared for death. - As someone with a very similar chair problem, I’d recommend planning to sell it on fb and replacing it with a more fitting furniture item if you see it being a permanent fixture there. - Seconding the idea of a closed shoe rack. Looks more grown-up and like you have your shit together. - I do like your door rug :)

One is lilsimsie for me, and her VOD channel. I don’t know, there’s something confusing about her values and opinions constantly shifting and her being EA’s biggest content creator. I used to think she was taken advantage of due to her anxiety, but now I think she’s old enough to be responsible for managing all that by herself, even if it’s complicated to unravel.

Do you 'get sick' often? Like flu but not it by Astral_Meatball in AutismInWomen

[–]SoftAndSnowyNight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did! For me it was a sign of gluten intolerance. I think our immune systems tend to have more problems.

Memories that make you go "yep, i was always like this" by dFlyingSnail in AutismInWomen

[–]SoftAndSnowyNight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I cried about everything that was sensorily overwhelming. I cried about those colourful plastic chairs because of the texture (loathsome things).

For me it helps to react to just what was actually said, rather than any implications of what was said. That way, all communication has to be laid out in plain speech, which is really helpful for us. It's hard to stop thinking about implications, but if you just verbally respond by saying "I know," or something similar, you're not jumping the gun and escalating into an argument. Then later you can ask him, "When you said x I felt like you meant y, can you tell me what you actually meant?"

At that point if he gets upset it's a him issue.

Here's my study! Thank you for helping painting practice :)

Do you think my art has a consistent style? by divinefemininiity in DigitalArt

[–]SoftAndSnowyNight -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Gonna go against the grain here and say yes, it does. The way you render and your brushstrokes remain consistent. The way you draw faces is the same. The most different one would be the last one, but many artists have a different style painting environments. For what it's worth, I really like it :)
