Thanks, NRS

My parents and sister have been telling me my whole life that I’m some stupid object, and rarely refer to me as human, and I have to earn their love by taking impossible classes, earn impossible grades, get an amazing job, and shower them with the money they could never make in their lives. It took me a couple years to realize this is stupid, wrong, and the reason I have trouble speaking. I’m still barely discovering this there are helplines? How crazy is that? People want to hear what’s going on in my house, and they HELP. They HELP ME. I’ve been dying in this hole and my parents have been keeping me from living as a human should, and I never said anything to anybody.

Im obviously running away, I’ve sent emails describing my situation, Im packed up, and leaving in 2 days. Just wrote this because the helpline is just amazing, with amazing moderators, and really helped me realize I’m not the problem. Thank you.
