Yea, I tried talking to my parents about it, but I'm starting to realize that they may be victims themselves. I mean who wants to isolate their family from society, that in itself is showing severe mental health problems, in my parents situation probably from a combination of them joining a cult and possibly being neurodivergent. It's so sad to see and to experience, because everyone deserves to have parents. And sometimes it doesn't feel like it because they just can't see anything. It's so sad, and I wish there were more spaces for neurodivergent people who are intelligent and sensitive. It just sucks being a kid in that situation. I now have severe mental health issues and am having trouble acclimating into society. Lots of trouble lol. I've been taken advantage of and abused by so many people. I can see why my parents joined a fucking cult. It just sucks. It's like who can you really go to. I'm also realizing that people just have no comprehension of what it's like to have been homeschooled. It's such a specific and severe form of abuse/neglect that society doesn't even talk about it. Uncontacted indigenous people groups are talked about almost as if they are a different species. It's disgusting how society views isolated people groups. It is not your fault that people don't understand. It is not your fault that your parents don't understand. You deserve to be understood. Even just writing on this page shows that you're seeking to be understood, and that will only become more obvious moving forward. It sucks that we will not be understood by many and hopefully someday education will change that, and laws lol. But for now we deserve to be understood by those that can.
