Well I'm pissed...
I am utterly over this charade of everyone saying they are ok when they are not. Looking at my parent's dysfunctional relationship from the outside has just really made me made at BOTH parties. Not one, but both. The sheer fact that I've seen this man bring my mom down to size so many times that it's disgusting. And it seems like when she does male herself big enough to speak her mind, she shrinks herself down with apologies. At this point, apologies are band-aids. I'm through explaining myself to grown people about my emotional discomfort within the family only to have blame being put back on me or others. It's obvious that I've was asking too much of my step-father to give me emotional support that he couldn't give. And I don't think he could ever give that to my mom either. This is beyond us now. EVERYONE NEEDS THERAPY! There's a huge lack of empathy here and I really don't care about how the world views me at this point. If I gotta be the one to break glass ceiling on this, I will. #MentalHealth #Depression #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #anger #hurtfeelings #Family
