My mom decided I'm not allowed to have a door on my room anymore.
I'm realising how small it sounds when typing it, but it isn't. That door was quite literally the only thing in the house that made me feel safe.
I am 23 years old. I pay rent, phone bill for the family, utilities, and car insurance. But I'm still treated like I'm 12.
Now there's no separation. No privacy. No place to exist without being seen or listened to.
I can't even relax properly now. I'd be too paranoid to play games, talk to friends, speak out loud, or even fucking sleep.
I don't understand how someone can do that to another living person.
I don't even deserve basic boundaries anymore I guess. I'm not allowed to have anything that's just mine. My room has to be open, ready for inspection by my control freak mother at all times.
"Just ignore the several threats against your life that she makes several times a week, everything will work out in the end!"
My Dad got off easy, he doesn't have to be alive for this shit anymore. I hope I can work up the courage to join him soon.
