>>13520514>Thank you anon, this was pretty eye opening it's just hard to look at family this wayI understand the feeling, but you must if you want to thrive. I was a fairly timid kid because I was raised by a single mother to be that way, similar situation to you. At 17 I left home and went to live with my dad in the city, and at 18 I went into the Air Force. These are not big decisions for someone with a normal, healthy upbringing, but they were huge for me. I didn't even know how to drive. No friends, no family.
36 now and living the life I want to live. Looking back, those decisions changed everything and were the turning point. To this day I have never gone back home. Never said goodbye to anyone there, and have never again seen anyone that I grew up with, except my sisters. No regrets at all. Do this anon. If you don't work up the courage and get out, you will regret it all your days. I send you all the energy that I have, and am pulling for you (just relinquish this when you liberate yourself, if you will).
