( No Title )
Can you post this on anon? I’m mentally ill and disabled, I’m an adult, and I still live at home even though I have the money to move out now that I got on disability. My parent’s ongoing abuse is largely what kept me sheltered and what still keeps me here. I have to learn how to take care of myself all by myself, I have to teach myself everything about being an adult in this world. I have the money but I still can’t leave because there’s no way I could support myself right now.
People acting like it’s so easy for victims and survivors to leave make me so angry. There are resources, sure, but a lot of them aren’t actually available for disabled people, especially disabled people of color, poor people, etc. It really hurts to see people talk about this as if it’s so easy. I wish I could have left years ago, but I would end up homeless due to my mental illnesses and disabilities. Anyways thanks for speaking out and I hope you take care.
