“We can disagree and still be friends” As my mom you have: Punished me for my sexuality and gender expression (even moving states to isolate me from any support), continuously forced me to partake in religion even when I simply did not want to (🧵).

I’ll never understand why parents create such toxic environments for their kids. I mean they chose to have you and raise you, so when you wanna live your own life it’s not up to them anymore. You’re not a toy they can play with and do whatever they want with. I’m sorry she treats you this way, you deserve so much better and I hope counseling helps

🧵 preceded to suggest I had the devil in me for being more distant, rave about therapy being a great outlet and then taking mine away since “you weren’t seeing in progress”, tried outing me more than once, did not take off the table baptizing me by force (but still making me feel awful about not wanting to be baptized), have admittedly snooped through my personal belongings and read my fake personal journal (yes I was that paranoid and rightfully so) (🧵).

These are not things to have ‘disagreements’ on; I am seeking mental counseling just due to the inability to bury all of this. To this day it still affects how I think, act, and perceive others. No this isn’t a simple disagreement, this is you hurting me in ways I have yet to understand and am therefore incredibly reluctant to keep you at three arms length.I don’t want a relationship because you like pineapple pizza and I like pepperoni pizza, I’m keeping distant because your presence drains me!
