I shouldn’t have to be this scared. I shouldn’t have to hide, to lie, to soften.
I feel sick worried about how she will respond. In a way it makes me angry. I never signed up for this.
I just want an ordinary situation. No one is perfect. But this is absurd.
I’m tired of being scared they will hurt me. I’m tired of trying to defend myself.
Stop hurting me. Stop inflicting pain on me for no reason. You just want to flex your power.
But what are families for?
