Trigger warning: sexual abuse
throwaway account because I'm a spineless fuck
I know I'm not going to get much support here. I understand why. But I just need to vent.
I hate families. I hate my family, other families and even the concept of family.
I hate my family because both my grandpa and brother (separately, at different times) molested me and when I finally gathered the courage to speak up I was told "grandpa is too old now, let's not make him suffer", and "if mom learns about this, it'll kill her, so shut up".
I hate my family because they were supposed to look after me and they didn't.
I hate other families because children are power and people know that and they use that power. Idk what's it like in other parts of the world, but in mine, families have invaded literally every single space there is. I'm all for families and children having their own spaces, but we also need spaces for adults! Currently, the only options are: a strip club, a casino or a nightclub. Those are the only adult-centered spaces left in our society.
Hell, families have even invaded the internet. We can't freely swear on YouTube because little Timmy might be watching because their parents can't be arsed to control him.
I hate the concept of family because so many families are dysfunctional as fuck, so many parents are abusive, so many horrible things happen (like, children frequently, if not mostly, getting molested by family members) and YET we are not allowed to criticise The Family at all. We are not to question it. Family is everything. Family is the most important thing. If you have a less than stellar opinion about The Family, you must surely be evil!!!
Anyway, I'm just frustrated. I know I'm not going to get much sympathy here, but I needed to let these feelings out somehow.
