Hey everyone.
I literally ran out of ideas for things to post so now I am just trauma dumping xD
So uh idk how to phrase it but both my parents are kind of...not it. They abuse me mentally and emotionally, sometimes more than the other. And before any of you say "oh, im sure theyre great parents and are doing what's best for you! They love you and you sound like you are overreacting and being a rebellious teen", then you are wrong. I get misgendered purposefully by them, never have my opinions or thoughts heard, get punished for things they do, get yelled at for small mistakes, have nobody who ever listens to me, am overworked and abused mentally and emotionally, and have all the signs ignored. I definitely love my dad more than my mum because she just hates me but neither of them are that great.
So I literally turn to people on the internet (like everyone on KT) to be my "parents" or "siblings, or therapists in a way. Streamers like Wilbur Soot, Ranboo, Technoblade, Quackity, Slimecicle, Philza (and his partner), Eret, etc. are the only parental figures I have. I look up to random streamers on Twitch more than my actual parents. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Can anybody else relate? I know most of you have great parents so probably not the exact same as me, but does anyone feel like watching these people and seeing them interact with us is so theraputic? I wake up every day wanting to just go back to sleep forever, then remember that I have these people there and that they care about their fans and I just feel so happy again. Its very weird and hard to explain, but if you know you know.
