Is this all there is to life? Nope, it gets better.
So here's I guess part one of this whole thing, there's a lot but it's worth a read, like a part one to this https://www.agingcare.com/questions/is-this-all-there-is-to-life-438398.htm
For anyone who kept up on that thread while it was happening, or who decides to read it now.
It does get better. Let's start off with that.
I moved in with my mom in June and I've been so much happier, I've cut ties with my dad, who was a toxic person in my life up until recently. I'm doing well in school, and I'm doing well at my job. I've met some life long friends and I'm so much happier.
I'm not bragging at all. I just want to give a small update for whoever cares, and a little hope for the people who need it. Coming from a child who was a caretaker for her parent, her siblings, her self, and all the household responsibility, I honestly didn't think life would get better. But it did, and it's not perfect, most definitely still have those really bad days where I just don't want to exist. I'm so much happier now.
So for anyone who needs this, it does get better, just hold on a little while longer.
Life gets better, it just has to.
