ok im aware this is a very unoriginal and uninspiring metaphor but talking to my mum about her experiences with my father and slowly unpacking decades of abuse she was entirely unaware of feels like. wandering down a deep dark tunnel with a torch and working to get a better light. but instead of illuminating the path and showing the end, it just shows how the tunnel stretches on further and further and further and does not end

#he isolated her entirely from all of her support systems. she doesn't talk to her friends anymore and barely talks to her family #i was aware of the fact my parents appear to be friendless losers but only now talking to her was i realising hey wtf actually he--#--lined her up to be vulnerable to his abuse and very intentionally isolated her #holy shit man like wtf #she's only just beginning to see this as i am. i'm beginning to see it and beginning to point it out to her #now looking at him and looking at my grandma who is staying with us #i'm just realising how little allegiance i feel to any of my family. i find it difficult to feel positively about majority of them #like damn bro i wanna line up half my living bloodline in front of one of those stupidly huge pavement princess trucks and hit the gas #on the one hand yay for recognising all these things and working to get away from them #but on the other hand SHE HAS A 20 YEAR RESUME GAP #SHE HAS NO JOB #I AM IN HIGH SCHOOL #I CANT DO SHIT ABOUT THIS #WHY am i becoming aware of these things BEFORE i can do much about them!! like what!!#also WHY is the teenage son the family therapist here jesus christ #like [atlas.jpg] man not cool
