quite the heaps of shit they keep piling on you. if at all possible, try not to give them the time of day. and don't blame yourself if their voice is hard to silence, i know from experience how it is when you have internalized their ways of thinking. but clearly they just flap their jaws with nothing real to say. you don't deserve to hear that. i really think you should cut them off just like you said.
so if i understood correctly, you could take one semester off and study full time for the second semester, or study half-time for the whole academic year? i would like to imagine it would be possible to do either one while working just enough to afford rent and something to eat, especially if you could live together with your friend.
i know it's hard to imagine anything better right now. i'll be online, please do update this thread
I mean sure I could take one semester off but I doubt that'd give me sufficient money to survive the next semester with 4 courses, although it so admit it increases my chances of being able to pull it off while working less the following semester,just enough to handle 4 courses.
If I do survive there's 0% chance that I listen to my eldest brother and go back to my mother's place.
You know 11 years ago, I was actively in the process to leave when the abuse got so bad I couldn't function anymore. I was going to go live with my father (the eldest disowned him due to believing my mother's lies on him, my mother made fucked up lies on me too that led the eldest to start hating me) , the eldest called me and let me know that if I went to live with my dad at that time, he wouldn't want to have anything to do with me anymore.
Like an idiot, I admired him more than anything in the world and didn't want to lose him, so I stayed at my mom's the abuse got so bad I ended up broken, went from top student to failing out and when everything was said and done and she was satisfied of the damage she inflicted to my life (she smiled at me when she learned I failed out of uni ,she told me that she knew it would happen and added that this was all a control game) ,she kicked me out (thankfully) which he had no issue with. But I paid for the consequences of staying with her for that year, I'm still paying the consequences today while he was in another country living the grand life, he never had to deal with any of this, only I.
Now after all this damage he wants me to go back because his angelic mother that can do no wrong is sad she doesn't get to abuse me anymore. Id be the biggest fool to listen to him again, I already deeply regret listening to him the first time.
Anyway, thinking about my family fills me with disgust, feelings of suffocation, despair, I need out. Although I admit venting just now helped release some of these negative feelings that were brewing inside.
My friend ended up finding someone else to move with and it's fine, Ive been taking too much time to get a job to be able to afford the moving rn. It would have been nice, she's super supportive.
But yeah clearly if I do survive, I need to cut my family off cold turkey aside from my neutral brother (although he does give me shit when I don't want to interact with my other toxic family members so that's annoying)
Edit: it's 4pm, my dad is still here but should be leaving anytime now. When he leaves I'll start with testing the set-up, I got the rope ready.
NGL I've calmed down since I vented but I can't keep repeating this everyday either
Edit 2:
Alright he's gone, testing the set-up now
Edit3: I ran a few tests. I think it'll work, I need to test a bit more to see and make sure my feet don't touch the ground
Edit 4: I think the set up will work. I'm not sure what other test I can do. If I wanted to test whether my feet will touch the floor or not, I'd need to put my neck in. But honestly if my feet do touch the floor then Itd end up becoming the most lethal partial hanging (I believe)
In the worst case scenario my father will be back in 19-29 mins. So I won't do anything but I'm done testing, the next time I'll be hanging
