A taste of normal.

[HFK40000]

Last week I went to visit friends and family and it changed my perspective on where I'm at in life. I was able to hang out with old friends and meet new people and it felt amazing. It reminded me that I could exist in a room with people. Then I go to talk to my family and they remind me how everything is my fault. I have no real support system and if I wanted to get back to a place where I could feel normal and be with my friends I would have to do it all in my own. I should have ended it months ago.

some people just have kind of negative auras that bring you down, and other people have positive ones that lift you up when you are around them.. you won't have to live with your parents for ever.. can you find some one to be a room-mate with and maybe you could split rent on some place or some thing?..

I can firsthand talk on this, as my "parents" never ever wanted me, dumped me off on a street curb the day after I turned 18 with no money, food, shelter, nothing but a bag of clothes.

Like me, you have terrible parents and/or family, and I have one thing to say on that aspect: GET THE HELL OUT and do NOT look back.

You are a wonderful person and having old and new friends to hang out with and also as a support system, spread your wings and leave the negativity behind.

It was tough for me, but looking back, this was in March 1974, it was good, as I was able to start being me and not having to try and be someone else.

You WILL do and be great, yes, it will take sone effort and time, BUT down the road of life, you will be able to look back and say I did it and did not have to, listen and/or be treated poorly.

Lots of huge hugs and the knowledge that you WILL be great. just leave the anchor(s) behind.
