i swear im NOT asking for attention

I know how this looks, more therapy posts, more trauma dumps.

My mom says it to me, so I expect the same from you.

The reason why I don't stop sharing all this is because I know there is someone out there that is going through something similar.

I've felt alone until my cousin Missy told me she's been where I'm at.

This is my way of making sure people don't feel as if they are alone.

You always have a friend in me.

Yet I don't have a friend in my mom.

In therapy, I learned that if someone can't process their own emotions, then they can't process yours. I asked my mom to understand my pain and my challenges. Instead, she thinks they are fake, a way to get attention, a way to avoid a lot. She doesn't believe my struggle is real. And until she learns to feel her own emotions, she can't understand how I feel.

I have to wait for her to heal in order for her to help me heal.

The system is rigged...
