It's been awhile
Just becase I haven't made a post, doesn't mean the abuse has stopped or that things have gotten better or worse. Life just is crazy and I hate it or love it depending on the day.
I finished my internship and got a volunteer gig at a place that I love and that keeps me busy, got to my next term and it is crazy packed and hard as hell, got two parrots and another chicken, so a lot is going on. But the home life is still hard, and that is why I am writing tonight. Fair warning, it is not pretty and may trigger some.
I had a moment where I clearly thought what I would write in a suicide note, where I would put it so my mom would be the one to find it, where I would go and how I would do it and who would find me, because I wouldn't want it to be my kids. Then, I just cried. I won't do it, but I wanted to because my dad is so freaking mean all time. All he does is scream and yell and torment everyone, every single day. I just don't want to do this anymore. I am so checked out of life. I don't care about finishing school for my dream any longer. I just want to give up and get out. It is heartbreaking when you are less than a year away from your goal and you just want to throw it all away because of a tyrant. Because of domestic abuse.
Tonight, I went outside to ask him to turn down his music so the my son could sleep. Apparently this was yelling because I had to talk slightly louder because the music was very high, and I couldn't speak at a normal volume or he wouldn't be able to hear me...that meant I was yelling. That started an entire issue where I was yelling in "his" house and I was disrespecting him.
Disclaimer. I won't harm myself because I won't do that to my kids. I can't leave them in a world where I can't protect them against my dad. But, somedays it is harder than others to not think about not being here. I really don't want to be around him anymore. He makes the world dark.
