Trying to ignore the more traumatic shit and go for more lighthearted stuff here.

1. Almost got sent to one of those super shitty "troubled teen" places. Long story involved there, but luckily my father decided against it.

2. I am scared shitless of home breakin stuff. When I was 14 and basically living alone, I heard someone come inside the house. I knew it wasn't my dad, but there was no reason it'd be anyone else. They went downstairs, and I was just trying to assess what to do. Eventually (because I was a stupid and cocky child) I took the baseball bat I had and went to confront them. Ended up just being my brother who got kicked out trying to get some of his stuff back. BUT THEN like a week later I realize he stole a lot of our coin-money and our dead mom's jewelry to sell because he had a bad heroin addiction at the time. AND THEN my father blamed it on me and changed the locks on the house without telling me when I was at school so when I went home, I was locked outside (in the snow) until he decided to come home hours later. And that was my lesson on not "letting people into the house."

3. During the summer of 2014, I had a really bad mania episode and probably slept on average like... maybe 1-2 hours a night, sometimes 4-5 if I was lucky, and stayed up 3 days in a row often. Got to the point where I was hallucinating and having really bad delusions. Almost begged my dad to take me to a psychiatric hospital cause I was terrified, but I couldn't really explain why I just kept saying "this summer is the worst", and his legit response was, "Is it because you think you're gay?" WHICH HE SAID HE THOUGHT BECAUSE I ONCE SAID BOYS IN MY SCHOOL WEREN'T ATTRACTIVE. well he was right i am bisexual but i always laugh at the fact he thought my mental breakdown was because of gayness
