      Expect them to be who they are
      - if they have shown you toxicity = expect toxicity
      - if you expect it will never come as a surprise
      - if you don't react = they will begin to realize you are not giving them what they want

      - Anything we are attached to will pain us to depart from ( the idea of having a whole family )
      - They have not killed your personality, if that's what you believe that's what will be true
      - if you leave from them broken = that was their goal
      - if you leave from them healed = they lost
      - It's not the snake bite that kills you it's the venom
      - the bites are your parents and the venom is the emotional disturbances you may experience after leaving them
      however in this cause you have a chance to live & you get to choose whether or not you will REMAIN poisoned

    one of the hardest things i ever had to come to terms with was that my mother wasn’t the person i thought she was. it took me a long time, close to 3 years, to get all my ducks in a row and finally be in a position where i can support myself financially. my best advice: figure out how much rent and utilities will cost (i refuse to have roommates so my rent will be a little higher vs. having roommates). rent times 3 should equal your monthly income. whether it’s income from one or two jobs, make rent 3 times before taxes. i’m working with a real estate agent to help me look for rentals. it’s easy and free and super helpful. GET. OUT. that’s your main priority. build your credit if it’s not good (at least 600), save your money as if you are paying rent. survive now, live later.

Focus on your study, it’s sooo important because it can help you becoming independant when you’ll be older, and more than that give you all the education that your parents should have gave you. Be strong, even if it’s hard believe in yourself, I swear things can get better. Oh and one more thing, as soon as you get out of this, take the time to heal and be compassionate with yourself.

They tell me i've changed whilst not realising they changed drastically too. In my childhood they used to support me and believe in me. That gave me fuel to do great academically. But now ALL that they do is keep. on. insulting. I simply don't work like that. I've told them about this but they just aren't willing to listen. They keep comparing me to be like these "other kids".

    Honestly I tried talking to my mom about how much I hated the fact that she respects more my brother than myself. She got so upset and mad that she told me “Well, I am the one paying here. So I can do whatever I want with you and your bedroom.” She doesn’t understand that the fact her presence is in my room is something I dislike because I have caught her several times going through my personal stuff and even my gadgets in which I have the freedom to express without being judged like in here. Even my own personal dairy is in jeopardy because I am afraid that she will read what I think of her and eventually problems will arise because she thinks I wasn’t being honest with her ( I’m 28).
    Today I caught her again while I was sleeping, now I’m afraid of sleeping because she will come by and snoop around. She makes me feel like a caged bird, scared and even in danger. ⚠️

      Gosh, it's so appalling when parents violate their child's privacy. If your mom is hot headed and unlikely to listen to any sort of reasoning, please move out as soon as possible, if you can. Stay with other family, friends even. If that's not an option, please keep your diary safe, as she might completely lose it if she feels disrespected. But ultimately, finding financial independence has to be the goal to keep yourself safe. I'm sorry you're going through this.

    I have recently been forced to confront my family about the events that occurred to me this year. The only reason why I had to do this was in order to make them understand the reason behind my bad academic record. But still even with that, my family is not supportive of me and its just so painful and I am also defeated right now. I opened up to my family about being a victim of rape and abuse but they blaming me for it. They state that since I made the choice to be with this person I am even blamed to the extent that I am the reason behind this man's abusive behavior. My family does not believe my side of the story, they are blaming me for my silence. I cry every single day and I also feel hopeless with regards to life. I do not have the financial means to be alone right now because I am still under their roof and I am still just a university student. I really don't know what to do but I am literally trying to be strong each and everyday. I am too weak to stop the self-doubt, self-blame when my family is consistently reminding me that I am the perpetrator instead of the victim. I just felt like venting and I hope that I will not be judged for using this platform in order to vent about what I am currently going through.

    • @AshaJacob
      @AshaJacob  Рік тому +2

      Suphile, I'm so, so sorry you're experiencing this. Your family should always be there to protect and support you from traumatic experiences. Yet yours blames you. It's very obvious they are just reacting to their own immature feelings of the incident, instead of think about it from your side. I hope you've found some support from outside your family, and that you're doing well.
      One thing I want to let you know is that EVEN IF a child is at fault for getting themselves hurt (like driving drunk), your family's response is wildly toxic and inappropriate. Please form boundaries with them and don't allow them to distort your views about yourself and what happened. You deserve to heal. Hugs.

    My older sister has always been physically abusive. She and my younger Sister impersonated and stole from me. I moved far away but now my Sister is guilt tripping me about visiting them.

    My parents are both heavy drinkers and smokers... They smoke in the house and I don’t its gross and even harmfull to my health.. I can’t move out because I can’t buy a house... A house for rent is unavaileble because of the housing problem in The Netherlands. My mom is narsesistic and very controling trough all my life and has manic episodes especially when she is drunk, and my dad is just drinking and smoking and being lazy all day. They have sometimes people over who also drink and smoke then I am upstairs, they are really loud. Also my parents fight a lot. My boyfriend lives in Mexico and hopefully he can soon live here and when we work together we can buy a house and just be together... Sadly moving here takes a lot of time. He is the only one who knows what I am going trough and understand it. Because litteraly most of my family is toxic... Gosh its so hard :( also I just found out that I have adhd probably because of my bad childhood... I really hate it here and can’t take it anymore but I have to keep going.

    My mother is a narcissist. Last time, she felt bad because she did not eat well but she said no word about it, and she blamed me, saying I was like my father and I swear that day I got dressed up, I felt nice but she ruined it. I guess it is part of my fault because she told that as long as I lived with her I had nothing to worry about, I believed her, and I continued my studies, now I do not have enough money to move out, and it is really sad being alone, feeling alone. I shouldn't have believed her but I was a teen and it took years to realize that she was manipulating me, trying to keep hold of me. Besides, she only loves my older brother (her first son), the bad guys are my sister and I. But my sister moved out years ago, and I am all alone. I wish things were different, I'll move out for sure but seriously I'm afraid, I don't want to be alone but I don't want to suffer anymore.

    I don’t know if I’ll label their behaviours as toxic but I’m fed up of it no one understands me my mother talks about all her problems to me and then asks me about what will I do.. and then I have this pressure this stress to make the thing right which is hurting her and then after that there another but whenever it my turn to tell something about how mentally draining this relation is it comes to “okay if you feel like burden I won’t tell you” which again just leads to me making it up to her my siblings don’t understand they don’t a single work they are so insensitive they don’t even have a meal together if they are not asked to and I’m always there to take care of my dad and mom so they favour me more in some situation but then again I’m hit with the “privileged unfair” person and if I try explaining them that both of them just want you guys to be a little affectionate they don’t understand or if they do it’s just 2-3 days and then everything goes to normal. My mom and dad keep talking about them saying they are so insensitive in front of me but I don’t have the guts to bitch about my siblings in front of them so I always just ignore or take my siblings side or just give excuses from their side but then if I get angry if I tell my siblings about it they behave like they don’t know anything it’s so frustration I have my papers and I wanted to go to my relatives house because I don’t feel any pressure there I don’t have to think about who is upset from whom or what should I do for this or that person to not do something the other doesn’t like I can stay freely there I feel calm I feel idk I feel peace but when I told my mom I want to go there she says “then who will take care of me, they both won’t be able to take care of me”(my dads not home) that’s why I can’t go there and some days ago I joked about how there I find more peace and guess what it again turned to “you feel good there why what is here that is not there” and shit just keeps getting big I don’t have a partner I don’t have anyone to tell these things I’m embarrassed to tel this to my friends I told one of them but I don’t feel comfortable with it what do I do I can’t leave my mother like that (she’s ill too) and I can’t bear the insensitive behaviour of my family members ig there’s not solution to this but it felt good to vent it out here I’m just 17 I don’t need to think about all this I’m tired.

The onlt solution to this sort of trauma and treatment is the opposite...which is a lot of LOVE. I know life can be extremely hard....I'm 37 and stuck with my toxic family....but don't give up on feeling good and, if you can, find someone caring and trustworthy to talk about your situation. If you can't (maybe you are like me and have no money), please just be extra compassionate towards yourself in your moments alone with yourself. It takes a lot of discipline and faith our efforts are not waste.........but giving love to oneself when you've been through such hard times.......is never a waste. Sending you a big hug.

      Of course, try to sit down with them and reason with them first. To give it a chance and see if they're willing to change their behaviour a bit.
      Also, please go on walks and find stress relieving activities outside the house!
