big warning for abuse and suicide
this is really deep and Real fair warning. never in a million years would i have imagined posting this but. here i am.
so i was really hesitant about whether or not i should even post this, but i felt like deciding to post it would be part of the healing process for me because i've been dragging around this pain for almost ten years and i've been too ashamed to really talk about it. when i did talk about it, i mostly just explained what happened and not how i felt about it. talking about my feelings about this whole thing has always made me extremely uncomfortable, but it needed to be done at some point. my therapist kept pushing for me to do this so i finally did and i decided to share it because i'm sick of just carrying it around.
i've seen people on here be really open about their mental health on here, and i am too to an extent. i just don't really like talking about it beyond "i have anxiety and depression" and i probably never will like talking about it. i don't really know what i'm even saying at this point i'm just rambling aimlessly. basically i don't like talking about this and i probably won't really respond to any comments on this thread but this is something that i've really needed to do for ages. this isn't really me venting or seeking advice, it's just me saying "this is here and i'm letting go of it now."

letter to my abusive stepfather
anyways. thanks for reading this.

This is amazing. As someone who was also abused by their stepfather, this honestly made me cry. In a...good way, sort of. I can relate to most of what's on there, and it pains me and warms me to know someone else went through the same things.
Thank you for sharing.
Omg someone give this poor bean some cinnamon rolls, a hug, a thick ass blanket and yeet him by a fireplace, stat.
I’m really proud of you, Oliver. Not many ppl can do what you did, let alone post it on here.
Remember if you need me to stab someone, I totally will. Anything for my friends.

I know you said you wouldn't respond to any posts on this thread, but I do hope you read them, because you're getting all the support and love and encouragement you deserve. This community keeps blowing my mind over and over again.
For whatever it's worth from a stranger on the internet, I think you're an amazing person. I can't relate, but your resolve and desire to move forward conveys in your art piece when you choose to expose it, and I think being able to let go is truly admirable all on its own. And by sharing your story I hope you can not only help yourself, but inspire others with similar experiences to move forward as well.

I think that's a really valuable insight to share with everyone. It's hard to carry the burden of somebody's lack of love, and I'm glad you're letting it go. And with art too, which is awesome.
Thank you.
You made an incredible step by opening yourself up like this. That vulnerable feeling is never a comfortable one, but it’s definitely inspiring for someone like myself that keeps things bottled up. Thank you for sharing!
