It's really disgusting to me that kids in situations with toxic and abusive parents literally have absolutely no way out. No bank accounts without a guardian, no helplines for kids in need without alerting CPS who either destroys the lives of kids who are living happily or does nothing to help kids who are in need. There isn't a way for teens to save up and jump out without the help of a parent, and for a lot of kids in toxic situations, they don't have that option, especially people with CONTROLLING parents. By the time that they are eighteen they have no money to leave with and are forced to deal with the toxic behavior for god knows how long. It's really like people don't grasp the concept of toxic parenting. They say "just ask for help" when it's NOT THAT FUCKING EASY FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. These kids have siblings. They've seen what happens to other kids who ask for help. Either they get sent to a shitty foster home or CPS doesn't do anything at fucking all and just leaves them there because there's "not enough evidence" to prove that they're in a toxic environment. After being in a situation like this for quite a bit now, it just feels really fucking sucky that nobody really does anything to help kids out of toxic households. You can say they're trying, but when we try, we end up hitting dead end after dead end after dead end and it's absolutely infuriating and defeating.

In the end, you can't blame anyone except the toxic people, but like what the fuck is that going to do. They know they're terrible and disgusting people, but time and time again they refuse to care. In the end, it feels like the only ones who give enough of a fuck to help kids like this is the kids themselves and that's not fair at all. I don't have two years to be sitting here waiting to take action. I need a means to take action now and people keep asking me what I need and I keep telling them, but they act like they're all deaf. I'm tired asl, bruh.

I've been trying to find ways to leave for almost two years now. For almost two years now, dead ends have been kicking my ass. There is no reason that it should be this hard for kids to be self-sufficient, cause believe it or not, not all parents are good parents and if a kid wants to be able to have a fall-back plan they should be allowed to. I didn't plan to leave till I was eighteen, but I want to at least have a place to collect money. Donations, commissions, and all that shit. I can't open a bank account, I can't get a venmo or a cash app or a google wallet. I can't get any of the things I need without asking for help, which I don't need because I don't need these people having more and more leverage on me for Christ's sake. Maybe if it was just me, I could take a chance on a foster home and find ways to work my way up, but I can't make that decision for two other people and potentially endanger/ruin their lives. But for somebody like me who deals with severe mental breakdowns in threatening situations, shit like this can't keep happening or else I'm gonna snap. I still have the scars on my arm from last year to prove it. I'm just so tired of the bullshit, y'know. I tried to start a gofundme to help me get out, but then I changed it because it's embarrassing asl to be known as someone from a toxic household for some reason. Now I'm just focused on starting my business, because I realized that I really wanted to be an entrepreneur, but again, I can't do that, cause y'know no money and no where to go.
