I’m loosing hope
A few weeks ago, I said the most hurtful thing to my mother. I didn’t want to make her feel bad but I was angry and tired of how ignorant she’s been with the rest of my family about my mental health. I said ‘ I wish y’all went for counseling before getting kids’. Before y’all attack me, I’m aware that wasn’t right. But hear me out, today morning I told her that instead of being angry at me for what I said she should have tried to figure out why I would say such a horrible as that. I was on the verge of crying as I was trying to explain to her why I said that, you know what she did? She walked off as I was talking. I was left there talking to myself. She didn’t care about what I was saying, all she said as she walked off is that it was hurtful to her. I was like what about me?
I have suffered for years in silence and when I finally broke free my family didn’t give a shit. They made me even quit therapy lol. I live in a family where no one cares about your feelings. When there’s a problem they think that by ignoring it and praying about it, it’ll go away. My siblings treat me like shit. They have said the most meanest things to me. My sister is 27 and she still argues about everything, like honey you shouldn’t even be in this house. She has called me stupid even in front of neighbors anyway I’m tired. I have tried to talk about my issues; my selfharm, my depression and anxiety with my family but nothing. I have gone back to suffering in silence. I’m not sure what will kill me first, my head or the corona virus. I am sick and tired of being home with people who make me feel like I don’t mean anything. Home should be a safe place, it should be home but it isn’t for me.
When I said that to my mom, I was tired because I couldn’t see change. She wasn’t ready to listen and understand what was going through my head. I feel like when you decide to have a child be sure that you’ll provide for them mentally too. Realize that not all kids are usually happy or seeking attention. Create a good environment of communication and change instead of ignoring issues. I’m not going to lie but I don’t regret telling her she should have had counseling because she has abandoned me mentally.
