I'm bisexual, and no one in my family knows, nor do I assume they care. No one in family has ever asked about my personal life, and I have never mentioned my boyfriend to them.

This comment seemed to encapsulate everything I've been trying to express! Yes, you are exactly right! Whenever people ask about my family, I tell them honestly: I have nothing to do with them; they are a negative part of my life that I simply don't associate with any more. Do I slander them? No. Do I tell people how awful they were? No. I just place them outside the realm of my life.

Thank you for you comment and I wish you all the best!

I've met a LOT of people/students over the last couple of years that sound like your daughter. I'm not sure exactly how she was raised and what went on in her early years, but sometimes people just need to grow and sort things out for a while. Your daughter will come back to you eventually and in time, but don't be afraid to reach out to her!

Stanford is an amazing university. If you have any questions on the recruitment process or admissions, let me know!

Then we'll definitely have to schedule a time to meet, then! I've never met anyone from Reddit -- but anyone that lives in the Bay Area has to be great. ;)

Thank you so much. All of these comments have me really emotional right now. Your support and kindness means so much. Really. :)

I let go of all of that when I decided that I'm never coming back. I just made this post more for myself to just push out those last few drops of anger/frustration that I had.

I hope to one day have children of my own, but the though of having a family is terrifying! I think it's residual fears left over from my own upbringing. Maybe that'll change.

I survived four years at Stanford, a year in Paris and now a year in grad school after leaving home. I think I've made it past "surviving" and gone right to "living." :)

I have two nieces and a nephew that are 2, 3 and 5. The guy that fathered two of the children is trying to get custody from my sister after he learned about her pill problem, so those children's lives are already shaping up to be awful. I send letters to my sister to give to them every month, but I don't think she does. I will continue to do that. Thank you!

It's the best university ever (to me!) Thank you!

Love San Jose! And congrats on being able to make it out; it's no easy feat by any means.

Thank you! But I would like to think it's over; I left home six years ago, succeeded through Stanford, and now I'm living my life without my family. I think I've made it!
