Ah, family— mainly my parents. Had a revelation that they’ve been financially abusive throughout my life and that’ll continue after college. I’m at the point though where I could list other traumatic happenings throughout life that this just feels like life slapping me in the face for “funsies.” They’ve been abusive/neglectful in many other ways so it feels… “normal,” at this point.
After a week of being back in my college town, I feel psychologically safer and I feel like I’m managing my short term issues while planning ahead more, so… I think I am in a better space. My concern in the far future is whether to even stay with them and save up money for a year— if the house doesn’t foreclose by then. Basically.
I am sorry that you have to suffer from your parents. I too was abused by my parents. I spent approximately fifteen years in and out of therapy because of it. I encourage you to seek therapy because I know how effective it is at healing.
Would you be willing to be more specific about “the environment”?
