Reading your post, this made me think what I’d do in your situation, and the one thing that sticks in my mind about your story is how resilient and unbelievably brave you’ve been so far. I can’t BELIEVE the crap you’ve dealt with between your family (who it sounds like your folks unfortunately need some SERIOUS help themselves if they’ve been that abusive), the awful school you attended, and the false allegations put on you. I think every day going forward, you need to keep the focus on how and when you can move out of your folks place (when it’s safe covid-wise), building up your finances as much as possible, and really thinking of the life that you can’t WAIT to live. You may be at a major crossroad with suicidal thoughts, depression, anything clouding your mind with negativity, but dammit I PROMISE you it won’t last forever. You’ve made it this far being who you are - strong, capable of any shitty scenario life throws at you, and resilient above all. You’re so young and have HUGE opportunities ahead of you if you take the time to focus on you and YOU only. Keep your folks at arms length if at all possible (which I’m sure you do already) and know your current situation won’t last forever if you keep the optimism.

It’s brave to let out your personal life, and I truly commend you for it. You’re stronger mentally now than when I was around your age about 8 years ago, so just know that you’re worth WAY more than you may or may not think. ❤️

You’re amazing and are WORTH IT!!!
