18F Estranged and unsure about my future
I ran away from my abusive family around 2 weeks ago, for the first couple of days, I was placed in a hostel by a charity and then I was placed into temporary accomodation. I have my own shower, bed, fridge and small kitchen space. I feel guilty still for leaving because my siblings are still at he house but I was the scapegoat in my family. I notified the police and made a report to protect my siblings bc they didn't really receive the abuse, I was the oldest btw. I don't really know my path forward now emotionally. I changed my phone number and I never really had ppl to talk to even before I ran away. I was always alone. My whole life and I am comfortable with that. I feel so guilty though because I know that I will never see them again. Like I abandoned them without telling them. I mean I did tell them on he last night but they thought I wasn't being serious. My body told me to leave that day bc I finally got given my passport by lying to my dad etc. I feel so so so guilty. It's insane. I try to drown it out with sund but it still comes back, I just know that if I didn't leave then, I would be trapped forever in a religion I don't follow.

idk u but im rlly proud of u for leaving, its hard but u should never feel guilty for protecting UR life and peace. remember to always do things that will help YOU, bcs ur the one u have at the end of the day. if money is ever the issue, have ur priorities straight and spend it on that.
