Yesterday I decided to shave all over everywhere because I haven't done it in a while, and when I went to shave my arms I uncovered my scars from about a month ago.. It made me feel really uncomfortable because I've been trying to put that in my past but now I feel like it's back, and at the worst time too. All my siblings and my dad seem to enjoy bullying me. My dad actually decided to fight me so now my finger is bleeding a bit which sucks but anyway that's besides the point.

It's the middle of summer and my scars aren't really that visible. It's more so just discoloured parts of my arm where the scars were, I guess I messed up the tissue.

This is a vent idk I'm just going through a lot at once because my dad is going to be abusive until I leave even though I just turned 18, and even if I do leave soon then I'll have to struggle financially for years by myself which could arguably be worse but idk I'm probably overthinking it sorry for the rant guys I just need to vent.

Physical scars can reopen emotional scars. Things will get better once you are out on your own. Being able to disconnect from the past is a useful survival skill. At 18 some go off to college, some go into the Army and learn a trade, some go to technical schools. There are many possibilities for you future.
