I was just told by the NAVY Recruiter that I can't join due to my mental illness of D.I.D. and that was my only chance to get away from my family...
This might not seem like much to people, but think of it from my perspective, the people who are my biological family have the money and the means of getting to me anywhere in the USA, the only place they couldn't get to me at all is the sea.
Or anywhere else in the world.
And you know the mind set of a little competition doesn't hurt anyone, well what happens when the competition is your parents love, admiration, acceptance, and general love?
I can answer that.
You get a broken child who talks to people in their mind and no longer views the biological parents as their true parents, not even when they try to get to know them....
The child talks to the family in their head, the one place where everyone is proud of them and they can get the love and admiration and acceptance that they needed early in their childhood, not when their 17 and nearly going to college, and most certainly not from the sibling that ordered them around and blamed everything on them because they couldn't defend themselves.
No, not then.
Now that child is growing up and is talking to more than an imaginary family and is talking to every thought and idea, to every whisper and shout. To every conversation and silence. To every lonely thought and to the fear of socializing and messing up to potential friends.
The child isn't suicidal, rest assured but they can no longer call themselves a family member to that biological family.
