Others ruin everything
I live with my mom, and siblings. I can’t put my food anywhere near the counter, I can’t eat unless I pay for my own “special food”, I haven’t eaten dinner with them in months.
She had me using fluoride prescribed tooth paste as a kid until my teeth had fluorosis. She sprays the counters down constantly with chemicals, she’ll cook in teflon pans, she’ll use bleach products and wash the floors with whatever label that says floor cleaner. She’ll wash cloths in detergent to the point where I refuse to let her do my own when she wants to be helpful. She constantly has every light on in the house even after the sun sets. She buys the cheapest farm raised horomone pumped red meat, not because we aren’t fortunate enough to buy better, but because she thinks it’s all the same. She’ll cook it in her scratched up mystery metal non stick pan. She uses the dish washer with Tyde pods.
It takes the bare minimum of critical thinking to understand that these things aren’t safe. She failed me, and my brother is too far gone too. It’s over, I’m barely getting by with 1 pound of steak and a gallon a day but once I run out of money I steal like some lowborn third world migrant.
I don’t care what she does, but the place I’m living in is essentially a toxic environment that I have no leverage in changing. All the nerve endings in my feet are constantly being r*ped by god knows what.
The solution? Calmly explain to her basic syllogism- the second I even mention not using laundry detergent it’s blasphemy. “The dishes can’t get clean without plastic fucking pods of blue goo! You don’t use shampoo? Ew your gross.”
The most superficial basic pea brain neurotypical slave mind there is. I’ve accepted it, just came to vent.
