hi everyone i’m new to the app, i’m stuck in a toxic household and it’s like my parents control everything i do. i’m scared of them and since im being controlled im afraid my future won’t be what i wanted. im struggling with whether or not it’s even worth it to continue. any tips or coping mechanisms?

Are you over 18? if so you need not stay with your parents. If you are under 18 you would need to contact CPS.

Cheers, Midori

I agree. It depends on how old you are.

I had to grin and bear it until I turned 18.

When I was 17, I started making preparations. I packed a go bag and emailed an estranged older sister.

At 18, I vowed that my father had ruined my childhood but he couldn’t ruin my adulthood.
