What’s the hardest thing you’ve had to tell your family?

10 comments

1. That I was no longer going to participate in the cult—I mean, religion I was raised in.

2. That I had planned out my suicide.

   It was years ago and I am mostly in a better place now.

3. Telling my mom that I was in the hospital for suicidal ideation. Luckily, I don’t remember much of it, I was pretty whacked out on the Ativan they gave me, but making that call was excruciating.

4. Thant I was getting a divorce.

5. That I was trapped in abusive relationship and couldn’t take it any longer and needed their help to get out.

6. That I have a boyfriend.

   Also that I don’t have a boyfriend.

7. That I was getting divorced and all the why’s that came with it. Most of my family only saw a glimpse of my marriage, they didn’t see the behind closed doors part. They thought I was happy, we were happy, we had a good marriage and we didn’t.

8. I was bullied and harassed trough high school and that’s why I’m depressed, I never told my parents about this because I hate it when people feel bad for me.

9. That I had recurrent suicidal ideation and that I was raped

10. That their toxic lifestyle and constant fighting is not the life I wish to live and that I would like to see less of them.
