Ooof I feel that pain of knowing how your family sees you as a caricature of yourself, but it’s a version that was trying to survive back then. Even then, it wasn’t the real *you*

that’s exactly what it is—me/us trying to survive back then. like first of all, kudos for us for figuring out a way to stop just surviving, on our own. second, we clearly grew out of that so let us. i see you, lady.
