Family Rant
I just told my toxic family today that I’ll be leaving to live in NY. Of course, they tried to scare me into changing my mind by mentioning sex trafficking and people on drugs, they even made fun of the job I’m interviewing for. They are one of the main reasons why I want to leave. I want to start over; I can't continue being in this toxic environment. They make me miserable. I just wish I had a supportive family. I can never understand how my family lives and projects fear onto other people when they are Christian. They are going against the very words they claim to believe in. If I stayed here in NC, I would be paying the same amount of rent, I would just be living by myself, whereas in NY I would have a roommate. I would rather be in a city I actually like and pay rent there. They are just so controlling; they don’t like the idea that they won’t know who I'm with, what I'm doing, or where I am. I can’t wait to get away from them, but it’s hard not to let their limiting beliefs get to me. What if I end up not being able to survive there, or what if things go wrong? This is another reason why I wanted their support, so that even from 13 hours away, I would still know I have someone to lean on.
