/; today my sister was asked why cant she cry in front of our family - before she could respond, i answered "jolene can't cry because you'll all judge her, and you wont accept her. she refuses to be weak around you, because she's scared that you'll beat her for it. your daughter is scared that she'll get hit for crying."
today, i stood up for my half sister. today i made my parents realize, that by saying that you love someone, and then you proceed to harm them ( whether it be mental or physical ) it WILL leave a scar. stop hurting the next generation. learn to leave room for amnesty. we're young and still growing. stop hurting us in fear that we might surpass your level of wisdom and knowledge. help us. nurture us, dont hurt us.
