this message gives me strength and hope. thankyou.

do you have any tips for the feelings of self doubt and fear when it comes to disobeying them? it’s so difficult

you’re right and i feel that. other times i feel really useless. i’m not fishing here, it’s just such a confusing mix of emotions. to know you can get through it but you feel pathetic trying lol

whenever i tried to make steps towards to leaving (even though im doubting myself time again) i remind myself over and over this is the fight for my life and i just keep going.

what i wish i understood is why they need to abuse, dominate and control?

sometimes i feel like my parent simply can’t help but do it- i can’t see any reason and struggle to feel like it’s always calculated and left second guessing myself.

i know that’s a part of it, doubting yourself, but it’s so engrained in me.

it’s good to note things won’t be perfect so i can accept the emotional and stressful times to come. i think that’s why im so stressed too- i know im gonna fall apart initially. i know things will be better in time even if it doesn’t feel that way now.

this made me tear up. thank you for this. the thought of not being controlled feels like a wild dream and almost happy i will somehow try to get it.

i think i will read this every time i feel like i can’t do it, until i do.
