nosy ask
7: Have tattoos?

24: My relationship with my parent(s)
I‘m gonna put this under the cut and put TW up for this one: cancer, mental health, complicated relationships, mentions of planned s*icide, physical violence against minors
When I grew up, my dad worked a lot so I was alone with my mum and my brother almost all the time. My brother is a bit older, so it was mainly us two. Already back than my mom struggled a lot with her mental health, told me more than once that she is leaving to kill herself. I also struggled a lot with bullying and the pressure to be the perfect daughter, got a lot of physical abuse in the form of "an ass full" or slaps when something went wrong. When I got older, I grew more independent and one day I told my mom I’m gonna hit her back if she touches me one more time. Shortly after that I moved out and my dad ended up in the hospital and nearly died. This changed the relationship between me and my dad a lot. Being an adult I now see that my mom has bpd and both of them have a lot of generational trauma that they carry around. But still, no excuse for the things they did. It’s still complicated because they have different expectations at me than for my brother and when I started therapy I finally learned to say no to them. But it’s hard, especially with the situation my family is in with my mom‘s cancer and her dead that is looming over us.
Apart from that I’m still thankful because if we ignore the dark parts, they really made a open woman with a loud voice out of me.
