Hey Tavor, hang in there man. Good on you for taking the steps to get out of that situation, and don’t beat yourself up too much. You’re doing the right thing and you have my support behind you, for what it’s worth. It’ll get easier as you go.
Thank you very much for your words and support. I plan to sneak out by June 7th, and thus far, it’s definitely almost numbing to think that I’m going to do this, as if I’m performing some great act of betrayal against my dad. Just for wanting independence as an adult!
At the same time, however, while guilt continues to weigh over my head, it’s more freeing to think that I was never obligated to bend over backwards, sacrificing my needs, in order to keep him happy. Afraid but yet hopeful for the future for the first time in a long time…
