I am tired of feeling stuck with no way of doing anything because I live in the middle of nowhere and I have to move out of this house. I just play my games and watch anime because actually committing with moving out of my house is too impractical and scary (also there are no homeless shelters in my area).

Edit: Turns out a bus route is relatively close, so I can take a bus to a city (probably), but what place should I go to? A homeless shelter?

    Hello - I don’t want to DM you out of the blue. Are you in the US? I’m depressed and living with my (emotionally abusive) parents in the suburbs again, so I understand you and want you to know that you’re not alone. I’m trying to make an escape plan to give myself something to work towards so I don’t feel like I’m living without purpose. Sorry if this is strange, but would you want to brainstorm an escape plan together? You don’t have to struggle alone :) be well

      Have you considered reporting their emotional abuse to authorities?

      Also, if you wish to message me in the future, keep in mind that I am easily triggered by mentions of child harm and abuse in general.

        I am a grown adult, living for free in their home. I am doing my best to quietly save money, move out, and cut contact, even if temporarily. It’s a very complex relationship and living situation but my parents are troubled, but good people, and I still love them. Thank you for your concern.

        Also thank you for the heads up - I will absolutely keep that in mind. :)
