I need to vent bc I'm thinking abt when in 8th grade I told my best friend i hit my mom back after years of abuse and she Told me that was mental,or when my mom found out I was cutting she acted like the victim, when really it didn't bother her that I was hurting, I struggled with bulimia my whole life, but what makes it worse is that I also got asthma in the 6th grade, and my mom still smoked with me in the car or room, I became a passive smoker not by choice though, and I always told myself I would never be like her, but now I realize it was never about me not wanting to be her, but about me not wanting to hurt people the way she did when she was hurting
