It's crazy how the ones that are supposed to love us are the ones that are hurting us.

[anoran.]

Thing is I know their patterns and how to deal with them and i do have these hobbies . But it's just so draining even being around them because i feel like i always have to be on guard and prepared for anything constantly

[shuvbhowmickbestin]

I'm finally moving out next month. I can't put up with my toxic mother anymore. I'm so happy, living alone is hard at first but I'm happy to be independent FINALLY after so long. Wish me luck guys 😀😀

[Aneliii]

I cut a lot of things with me family, they barely contact me but the sadness is killing me. Up to my age 25 the ( non voluntary) destroyed my mental health. They literally destroyed every part of my personality and when I left they played victim.

[nurayhuseynli]

The fact that you’re still young to move out and you have to survive some more years...

[SnowWhiteQueen]

I need help too. I feel like I am living with a time bomb whenever mom is around. But I can't move out. I still doesn't have the financial freedom to do so. I need to unplug. But we're in a community lock-in.

[aniceperson]

Reading all these comments really makes me wonder what an actual healthy family looks like. I woke up to this, all i know is this. Hoping for everyone to be able to stand on their own.
We got this, we are strong.

[currentlyspeakingbmwmusic]

whoever you are, i truly respect what you can achieve while under parent pressure, i myself am on the verge of becoming independent and cutting them off once and for all. you dont wanna know what it took. my personality is ruined, i barely have any friends and all i did the last few years was grind. grind grind grind. my family is poor which is bad in itself but the worst is that they are absolutely mentally insane and really ruined my mental the last 10 years. i hope i can recover from it but there will always be a hole in my childhood.

[Veryverybored]

My parents are really emotionally abusive, sometimes even physically abusive, but I’m 13 so I can’t move out. I feel like I’m the one parenting in this house because all my parents do is sleep, smoke and argue and I’m always left to look after my younger siblings. Plus I have to study all the time and it’s just so draining and idk what to do

[Gloroxsocks]

The fact that you understand it’s not as simple as just getting a job when living with her is making me too unstable and was taught to be not trusting of the world (I’ve been working on self love but acknowledge that this takes time), this video is also making me realise I’m doing super good I’m very productive just praying for solutions to gather money so I can get the fuck outta here lmao ❤️

[honestthinker]

My parents spread rumors about me among neighbors and relatives every other month and not sure how to get over it. My parents are narcissistic

[theonewithbrains]

My mother is a misogynistic matriarch, and my father loves ignoring every bad thing happening in our household
My brothers are seven year younger than they are abusive
They shattered my confidence
May they taste Thier own medicine someday

[prapvoidprapster]

I deserve peace, seeing fights since I was 7, I am 15 so cant move out plus i am Indian 🤷, you probably understand

[toriambrr]

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.

I was much happier living alone. However, I've had to move in with my elderly grandmother to help take care of her. My drug addict father is now a huge pain in my butt and as long as I live here he will keep showing up and making my life miserable. I just want to be an independent adult again. I'm tired of all of this family drama.

Been trying to better my situation with self-improvement/ mental health videos, but this. This right here is the single most helpful advice I've gotten to decisively change my situation.

[Kassiex]

You had me at the confused part in the beginning. That’s exactly how I feel even though deep down I know it’s not me that’s the problem.

[aryanair]

Its been 20 yrs, I still have issues, I am not used to their toxicity, all I want to scream nd move as far I can and never come back

[jazelise]

Amazing tips! I have two hobbies but like it was already mentioned, it's draining to be around my toxic parents. I need to start setting boundaries though.

[taehyungsguccibag]
