I understand that you feel you fucked up, but you are being abused. The situation you are in is abusive. The atmosphere is abusive, the people are abusive. It may be better than it was before, but like all kids, we only know what we grew up with until we get a little older and see how other people live. Soon you’ll start to discover that your situation was exceptionally bad. The more successful people you meet in your life, the more clear it will become to you that you were being abused. I grew up in a terrible situation myself, but managed to make friends with decent people, and I kind of learned not to talk about my home life because it bummed everybody out.

I hope you can afford to live on your own soon.

That wasn't a bad thing and I'm glad he's now your ex. I've seen a house burn down COMPLETELY from a dryer fire. The house was literally down the block from me. I gave the poor owner a skirt and shirt so she'd have something more than pajamas. Better to be over cautious when it comes to dryer vents, they're one of the two most common causes of house fires!

OH! MY! GOD!

And people say reddit is bad, heck, even evil.
And then, something like this comes along. A small glimpse in the absolute shitshow of the world, and we smile like no tomorrow, we cry out of happiness, and hug our cats. If we have cats that is. I have, and they use my beer belly as a personal place to sleep.

but this gives us hope, a feeling so distant from before, something we read about in books, and something that Samwise told us about, but in the last few years, have been only in the books, but not at home.

OP. Tell your loved one that an internet stranger is happy for you, and if you can, give them a hug from my and my cats.
