I have also not had the greatest life. I was neglected in my youth. I have my own large bout of trauma. I have a history of anxiety, depression, and anger issues that stemmed from many years of bullying. Not to mention I almost died twice.
And never once have I ever brought this up in an argument because doing so devalues the lessons they have taught me. No one else made my decisions for me, it was all my fault when I did something shitty. Using your trauma as a shield for when you f**k up is pathetic.
I’m no longer saying this to Nat. Trying to get her to fix her ways is like trying to roll a bolder uphill. It’s not gonna happen. I’m saying this to anyone who will listen.
Grow up now while you’re still young before the world grows up without you. Learn the lessons while your mind will allow you to learn.
