Coming Into My Teens!!!!

So my brother then moves out, which is like my lifeline, my brother's, my lifeline because my mom was not caring or loving my dad wasn't in the picture, it was me and my brother. And now I lost my brother to this girl and I didn't like her for a long time because of that. But I remember we moved to a different city, even further away from my high school

Into My Teens!

I'd never want him to have anything to do with this child, whether it be a boy or a girl, but especially if it's a girl. And then I thought, oh, God, I can't tell my mom either. She'll be mad, she'll be angry. And then this is going to be all about her. She's going to blow this up. This is going to be all about her

Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry you went through that horrible experience and that you weren't able to lean on your mom in the aftermath. I can't imagine how horrible that must have been. I think it's very important for people to hear these sorts of stories so that they can be safe. And I think it's very brave of you to have shared it. I'm sure it was very painful memory to relate. So thank you

Hey, I agree with you. Your sentiments are mine. So just adding to the thread here, thank you so much for being brave to tell the story. And stories are windows and doors for other people to walk through, and I it gives them more agency because they know that they're not alone, because people like you offer relief, release, and a new place to go into that has more of a communal support. So thank you for creating that space for everybody else

I really just want to reiterate that you're so brave for sharing this and it really has been so unique to hear these intimate and vulnerable stories from a total stranger, but someone who doesn't feel like a stranger anymore because they've been listening and following along and just sharing and your heart and your emotions and your heartbreaks throughout all of this

And I was curious. Part of this story, just listening to your cadence as you told this story, it sounds more warped, for lack of a better word, strained, constricted. And I wanted to know, were there certain parts of this story if you're willing to open up or if you just want to quietly reflect, were there any part of the story that was the parts that, when you recount it, drain the pardes that you have not worked or processed through consistency in this entirety?
