Chapter 1: The Decision to Leave

For a long time, I contemplated breaking free from my toxic living situation but lacked the strength to take action. However, a month ago, I finally mustered the courage to explore new places, and eventually, I relocated. This choice turned out to be the best one I could have made.

During this journey, I encountered numerous individuals facing similar challenges with their parents, which helped me realize that my struggles were far from unique. In my household, violence was a recurring theme. Whenever I made a mistake, my mother often resorted to physical punishment as a lesson. This environment contributed significantly to my depression and various behavioral issues that emerged later in life.

After eight long years of searching for the bravery to leave and embrace a peaceful existence, I saved enough money to sign a lease without informing anyone. I chose to live life according to my own terms, not dictated by others’ expectations.

You deserve to be in a place that feels like home. It's crucial to prioritize your well-being and eliminate negativity from your life. While I occasionally miss my parents, I understand that returning would only hinder my healing from the trauma they inflicted.

It’s perfectly acceptable to prioritize yourself. The thought of leaving and facing everything alone can be intimidating, but I assure you, it’s not as daunting as it seems. The strength you gain from experiencing solitude and the tranquility you’ve always desired is invaluable. Once you taste that freedom, the idea of returning to a toxic environment becomes unbearable.

For me, this decision has proven to be immensely rewarding. I finally have the time to focus on my personal growth, free from the violence and harsh words that plagued my past. This newfound peace is crucial for my healing journey and personal development.

So, if you ever contemplate making a similar choice, remember that it’s not your fault. Your feelings are valid, and I wholeheartedly support you! You've got this!
