Don't know where to put this so I'm putting it in chat. Honestly I'm too exhausted rn to type out a long list of what he's doing toward me but it ends with him threatening to kick me out of the house and I have no place to go. Funny enough he's pissed off a lot at me because hexbear has been helping me eat, like I'm supposed to starve.

I tried googling around for some help but the domestic abuse resources I've found are for spouses, nothing for an adult child. I guess because they think you're pathetic that you can't leave an abusive situation on your own as an adult.

    I'm sorry, comrade. I don't have anything useful rn. You're right - there aren't nearly as many resources for adult children and especially for amab people. I don't have anything useful to say rn but I'll keep you in my mind and check back in if I come up with anything. In the meanwhile, we're pulling for you.

      It's nothing new which is the sad part, it's the same old abuse he used to hurl against mom and me, then he paused and chilled the fuck out for a bit and now he's back to his old self. I let my guard down thinking maybe he had turned a corner but he blindsided me.

        That sucks. I'm sorry. I'm still trying to sew up wounds from things that were done to me decades ago. Having someone change direction and start re-opening those wounds must be awful.

          For a while there he had me going thinking maybe he finally rounded a corner and put that shit to rest. I was wrong.

            unfortunately abusers rarely, if ever, change their ways. even if they start to treat others differently they can't be trusted not to fall into old patterns with their victims.

            i hope you can escape some day soon. nobody should have to live with someone who abuses them.
