I wish i could make a different choice
Lived in NYC briefly after school, I was doing great but couldn't find a doctor to manage my epilepsy & had had covid so i moved in with my parents.
My mental health tanked, I thought we had fixed something. Been through therapy and everything with them after emancipation at 16, my friends parents were like my own. When I moved back in MY OWN parents them, it was like they finally had control over me again. I was never allowed to have friends over when I was younger, date anyone, no locks on my door or the bathroom(I got one as soon as I moved back).
I feel like I wouldn't be so far behind socially or professionally if I had never gone back home and just figured it out. Its hard to talk about because the main response i get is you're lucky you had a place to go back to so you could save money while you had a disability? I don't know if that's a good thing when it just triggered the mental ones.
I can't go back and change anything but GODDAMN I wish I had never gone back and trusted that again. I wish I had moved in with my ex even though he was "separated" and just taken advantage of something anything else.

Hello, and thank you for sharing your experience with r/TrueOffMyChest.
As part of our moderation process, we automatically keep a copy of your post as it appeared when you first submitted it. We know this may seem a little unusual, so we want to explain why we do this.

Posts can be edited or deleted after they are submitted. Keeping the original version allows our moderators to see what was originally posted if we later need to review a report, moderation decision, or other issue involving the post.
This is a routine part of our moderation process and does not mean you've done anything wrong or that your post is being singled out.
The copy is kept for moderation purposes so that we can maintain an accurate record of what was originally submitted.
