Hey I just wanted to send lots of love your way, the things you've been through sound awful and heartbreaking.

I saw you mentioned a younger sibling in a comment and I can respect you wanting to stick around to protect them. Whether you want to stay or leave that house is your choice. Just please know that you do deserve to be treated better by your parents and that your therapist should have had a discussion with you before filing a report. The way your mom's boyfriend spoke to you is abusive and you don't deserve that at all.

I hope you can find places to reach out for support becuase what you've described is more than anyone should have to shoulder alone.

When my fiancée did house cleaning work, that wasn't a rule for her. They cleaned like normal unless specifically told by the client to not worry about certain items or rooms.

You didn’t fuck up. You’ve been abused and don’t know it because for you it is normal. If CPS can help you, I would really try to get help. You really don’t want to end up like your mother, she’s not a good parent or person it sounds like.

I'm just imagining them trying to buy red blue colorblind glasses and the person who sells them sitting them down like "child...."

Someone might want to tell them that the guy that's supposedly there to save their soul was a fucking undead Jew.

When I was a kid, i was zoning out looking out the sliding door while doing homework at the kitchen table. I saw smoke coming from a house behind us that has a bush by their back garage door. Soon it started turning into Moses and the burning bush. My mom ran over with her tiny extinguisher meant for small kitchen fires and put it out, and the neighbors didn't even seem that grateful. The wife went to the back door to smoke and flicked her not completely extinguished bud into the bush next to the door.

This is not exactly true. Everyone has all three color receptors in their eyes (to my knowledge, but there may be cases I don't know about), but people with color blindness have an issue with the range of colors that they can see.

Each type of cone is excited by a different range of light wavelengths. Ideally, there would be a perfect separation between the red, green, and blue wavelengths with no overlap. Colorblind people have a more significant overlap between the red and green cone response range, or the green and blue. Or in the most extreme cases, all three, in which case the person would really perceive a "black and white" world devoid of color.

The way that colorblind glasses work is they act as a "notch filter", or a filter that cuts out frequencies only in the overlapping range. This is a fairly novel, quite advanced type of filter and isn't the usual "color correction" type lens you're referring to. This notch filter makes it so that the range of light that your brain usually misinterprets as the wrong color is absent, and it enhances your ability to see those real colors.

If you have 100% overlap between any cones you cannot correct it with these kinds of glasses. But in your case if you do have minor color deficiency, you might have a great experience!

Thank you! My own mother has been a Christian for like 40 years, but I know so much more about the bible than her. It's weird.

Nah I believe it, but that's how people will see it, especially if they don't know much about their own religion which is usually the case sadly

I get you, but I swear I wasn't trying to come off as a condescending know-it-all. I thought I was just sharing a fun fact.

You reached out with something you find disturbing and your responsible adult said "perhaps you need therapy"

Take their advice, worst case scenario you spend an hour talking to a professional who explains that we all get these thoughts from time to time and that the proper response is to acknowledge them, evaluate why you are feeling that way and see if there is anything you need to do to change that cause, and if not, then just accept them as something your brain does from time to time.

It's ok to be mentally ill, we all get that way at times.

You wouldn't think it's a fuck up if you said "mom sometimes it hurts when I pee" and she said "maybe you should see a doctor" would you?

Of course not. But there's this stigma around mental health.

Man I know this situation so badly. I know you wrote this cause it causes you more stress to think about the consequences but I assure you that this was the right thing to do. Not only can this help your life, but also your families and siblings. CPS won't just barge in and take kids away. They will investigate and try to find ways to help the family better care for the children. This could not only help you, but the whole family. You have done nothing wrong in this situation. Let them help and don't hide anything from them. Your life is tough and you are valid in every feeling you have. I hope things get better, and keep fighting. It's worth it.

Take it as a learning experience and don't make the same mistake twice.

Plan B?

Seriously, I'd feel reassured. My neighbors could see me stop drop and rolling on fire in the hallway, and I know those bastards would just step over me like 'not my business'.

Are they still together?

CPS = Childb Protective Service(s?).

Yeah it’s not that obvious outside the glorious US of A.

Or, they could overindulge the sibling who then becomes an insufferable and generally messed up person in a completely different way.

At the very least, they will not serve as good models of responsibility.

ah you mad😜
