I'm never going to see them again, I've escaped my family and started a new life. All because of one simple decision.

​

It was always really hard at home, a lot of mental abuse which over the years just bundled into lots of mental issues that affected my day to day life, but like many others I was afraid to take a stand, afraid to fight for whats right and afraid to do anything to fix he fucked up shit that was happening in my home.

Just a few months ago it was at the point where at home I felt like i was a ghost, living in a hotel.

​

One of the most common things was that my Biological Parents never admit any mistakes or anything bad about them, it was always blamed on me, so one of the things I was constantly trying to get out of them was them to admit a mistake, or at least a SMALL thing about themselves. So on one night, in a serious fight that even involved knives in walls and alot of yelling and manipulation.

​

My Biological Dad said this: "When you make mistakes you forget them and move on"

​

And at this point I just knew, this was it. After fucking years of mental and emotional abuse I finally saw his true fucking face. It was at that point that I truly realised. I need to get out.

​

So the next day, I made the biggest decision of my entire life, on that day I had a weekly therapist appointment, so I asked my therapist to help me, maybe she could contact CPS and get me out?

And on my way home the words my Biological Dad said just kept playing over and over. And I just couldn't bear living in that place anymore, so I contacted all of my friends asking for a place to stay. Thankfully one of them was kind enough to offer me a place, so I went home, packed, told my parents Ive contacted CPS and I moved there.

​

I lived there for 2 weeks until CPS wanted me in their hands, so I was moved to this temporary home meant for kids who cant stay at home.

I'm staying here until CPS finds a spot in a foster home (Its really hard because the waiting list is ENORMOUS)

​

And ever since I moved away I must say my life became so much better, first of all I legally changed my name, to cut off that part away from my family and that was HUGE.

And all my mental issues, abandonment issues with friends and so many issues I had are slowly fading away and everything is so much better. I Cant fit it all in here and its 4 am here, so if you have any questions, ask and ill answer and explain as best as I can.

Thank you all for Reading :)
