I feel like I have let everyone down for not taking my life when I said I would. I apologize. I also apologize for being mean. I was in a real bad space and it felt like everyone was attacking me. It still feels that way.

Anyways, I have teamed up with my aunt and therapist to get ACS on my father for enabling and neglecting my brother. My dad shows no signs of wanting to rock the boat, which only hurts me. His behavior is now even directed at our neighbors, yet not wanting to look at himself as the father. I will be documenting what my brother does to me abuse wise and will keep in contact with my aunt. We will contact ACS and have an investigation opened. This will force my dad to have to do something and back him into a corner. My aunt is on my side and plans to confront my father with me when the time comes.

Note: things are rough as I was just diagnosed with COVID and was shamed by the doctor at the clinic. Seriously the idiot commented on how my mask isnt on right and how for 23 I should have better pressure and stuff. I mean, he doesn't know my circumstances but whatever. Rant over.

My father has been an abuser all along. I never noticed it since he wasnt overtly abusing me so I just assumed he was the good one. And don't get me wrong, my dad and I had genuinely fun memories in my childhood, teenage hood, and even adulthood. But his inability to protect me and in turn abuse me by neglect, it contributed heavily to my mental health

Sadly, my father is incapable of seeing himself other than the victim. He focuses solely on how my mom was bad and my brother is bad. No doubt he suffered his fair share of abuse (and from what I know of his past he was abused severely as a child). Nonetheless it doesnt excuse his poor parenting

Despite all this said however, I still love him. I don't want anyone thinking I don't. I am aware of his flaws and his abusive behaviors. Though I have great disdain for him right now, I do not hate him. If he were to admit to his wrong doing and be there for me and my brother I would genuinely forgive him. Hopefully having an agency in his face might wake him up.

Also, please don't talk negatively about my father. I know he's bad and sucks but, that's not what I need right now. And just don't be mean in general. thank you

I'll be honest I didn't read all of that. But NO ONE should ever be sorry for not commiting. Everything about this situation is difficult for just about anyone. From what brings you to this point to the SI. The fact that for the most part it's an escape from pain and not actually "I want to die".

I'm sure the site agrees with me. There's no need to be sorry. Please don't beat yourself up over it :hug:

I'm still glad that you're here with us. Everyone has bad days and reacts badly. You can vent all you want, it's SS after all. Just think of us as your friends who truly understand you. Of course, what we say is not a professional advice, so you should seek the proper therapist for you.

Please- this is not something to apologize for. You are a gift and I am grateful that you are here. It is all 100% YOUR choice- you do not owe anybody your life or death. Especially not your death. Please, there is nothing to apologize for. It is okay to vent and share :) <3

Sending you a ton of love as you navigate this situation! I am so proud of you and you are important. You are welcome here and people care about you- I care!

No need to apologize.
Last year I said goodbye and then 2 weeks laters I was back and more active than ever lol.

I'm glad you're still here. Just take it easy and try not to be impulsive. That will help. (I know lots about it. I'm bipolar so I tend to regret what I say or simply change rapidly my mind lol)

I'm glad you're still with us ♡ as an abuse victim myself, it's really hard to heal and move forward when it stems from a parent. I hope you have success with your therapist! You're very strong to be taking another approach and fighting for your brother. Xx

Never apologize for not ending your life. I am proud of you and you are doing so good under the circumstances. It's not your fault if they don't know any better, but you are right not to hate them, it's too much of a burden for you. Fight to get over them, and have a good life - it's the best revenge. I hope you get better soon with covid, that you will get over the abuse and build a good life for yourself. You can do it. And you can later help others go through tough times.
PS. I'm generally not for positive BS, but I know somtimes it's very difficult to see real positive facts when under a lot of stress.

Stopped reading after the first line: You never ever have to apologize for not taking your life?? There is literally no one on this website who would ever expect you to apologize for that. You're fine.
