What she says and what I hear she swears are two different things.
And maybe she is right.
Because as I grew up I was told if I ever was in an abusive relationship to get out.
To seek the help I needed to get away and never be afraid to come to her.
Yet as I seek outside the house, plan to move away.
Away from the verbal and emotional abuse of my step-father,
I am told to lose that logic.
Try Harder.
Try harder because he has tried to change himself for you,
He has done so much for you, fed you, clothed you, kept a roof over your head.
Takes his anger out on us, throws childish fits of rage, tells me I am useless and no one will give a shit when I am in ttrouble when I am older.
Tells me he never wanted kids and heavily implies I will never make it out of the house.
And I should try harder.
If you didn't let his opinions and words hurt you. Work on being not so sensitive. Work on finding ways to loosen your anxiety.
Try harder.
You are going to have to deal with people like him all your life.
Yes, but I don't have to call them my Step-dad.
I don't have to live with them.
I don't have to say I love you to them when I don't mean it.
Don't tell me to stay and to try harder.
Im leaving.
This is me trying harder.
