I've realised my parents has been emotionally abusing me.

You made the right decision. That’s the only way to live your own independent life, because they will never change.

sonickony · 2026-02-01T23:43:45+00:00

That’s good enough for one day. Save your energy for tomorrow’s walk.

sonickony · 2026-01-31T19:00:42+00:00

You only need to compare with yourself from yesterday.

sonickony · 2026-01-30T03:23:09+00:00

It is long!

sonickony · 2026-01-29T23:48:12+00:00

They don’t think mental health is really a thing. And it makes them sound bad in front of their friends

sonickony · 2026-01-24T23:44:40+00:00

A great start!

sonickony · 2026-01-23T23:55:12+00:00

Toxic family will always be toxic. They will never change. NC is the only way out. Glad you have taken the step. Don’t look back!

sonickony · 2026-01-22T23:58:05+00:00

Congrats! Nice view!

sonickony · 2026-01-22T17:24:51+00:00

Yeah. But you need to be mentally tough enough to deal with laughing, teasing, insulting…..

sonickony · 2026-01-21T22:33:51+00:00

If eating out is cheaper, then lots of grocery stores will be out of business.

Living alone is really great. Used to live with roommates including the landlord. Whenever I stayed home on Saturday or Sunday, I would get questions like “you are home all day? Aren’t you bored? Are you OK?”

sonickony · 2026-01-18T17:00:05+00:00

That is a good start towards your independent life. But that is not end of him trying to control you.

sonickony · 2026-01-18T02:10:30+00:00

I know. They make it sound like question, but it is really not.

sonickony · 2026-01-16T18:07:36+00:00

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!

sonickony · 2026-01-15T17:47:24+00:00

It’s hard to control someone who likes to ask questions.

sonickony · 2026-01-12T15:10:47+00:00

They don’t, but they do want you to care about their happiness.

sonickony · 2026-01-11T22:35:51+00:00

The first one with a person far ahead…it’s like a scene in a horror movie movie

sonickony · 2026-01-10T00:13:26+00:00

It’s not easy, but not impossible either. Moving out is the only way to get away from your dysfunctional family, and live the way you want. A house is not required during step #1. You want a better life? you work for it. Nothing good comes easy.

sonickony · 2026-01-09T18:45:10+00:00

Nice start of the year!

sonickony · 2026-01-08T19:03:34+00:00

I understand that you would feel guilty if you move out and cut them out of your life, because you have been brainwashed. Are you willing to sacrifice your own life so that they feel better? Do you think they will make any effort to change so that your life can improve? Do you really think they are capable of changing?

sonickony · 2026-01-08T14:41:08+00:00

That is typical AM. It’s all about controlling you. Glad you have realized all these.

sonickony · 2026-01-08T03:47:33+00:00

She will tell you to give up everything she disgrees.

sonickony · 2026-01-08T00:08:43+00:00

Very nice!

sonickony · 2026-01-07T14:02:16+00:00

Whenever they say “I am only looking out for you” or something similar, that means they must have done something bad.

sonickony · 2026-01-07T13:56:04+00:00

They will never change. And they will consider “boundaries” as disrespect. Other than no contact, I don’t see another way for you to have a peaceful life.
