20M, been abused relentlessly by my parents my whole life and I think they've finally successfully ripped it all from me. Don't tell me to call the cops and don't ask why I didn't just call CPS, I can tell you all about how shit they are at their jobs because they've kept me here over and over. I promise whatever you're going to suggest, I've tried it already. I've been sitting with this since my birth.
Now that I'm grown (and while the abuse still goes on), I've been left with absolutely nothing. I didn't get a diploma because they "homeschooled" me, and the state never really cared enough to check in on that. Don't have a license nor will they let me get one, I live in the middle of nowhere so I can't go anywhere myself. If I leave the house on foot they come after me and physically drag me back home, plus since they've kept me malnourished and sick so I can't run very far (even if I made it, what would I do without a dollar to my name?). Can't get a job because I've done jackshit with my life up to now and the market is falling apart. I have no friends. No personal belongings, because my mom throws them all out. I have to beg internet strangers for funds just to buy food and it feels fucking pathetic. I can see my bones sticking out. My teeth have all decayed because I wasn't given anything to brush them with growing up (managed to remedy this later in life myself but the damage was already done) and it makes me feel so fucking ugly and worthless. It's irreversible damage, not a damn thing is fixing that. I couldn't pay for it anyways! And nobody wants to be friends with you when you're ugly.
I've had a dental abscess for months now and I can't afford to fix it even if I manage to sneak out where these assholes will never find me. My mouth throbs every day terribly but my mom keeps telling me it'll "go away on its own". I spend every day in constant fear trapped in this house knowing it won't, begging and pleading and trying to find some stupid way to afford the root canal because god knows I can't. I've tried crowdfunding, I've tried applying to every job I see, I've tried colleges, it doesn't work. There's nothing. Nothing at all. One day I'll probably get sepsis and it'll take me out. These days I just hope it'll do so in my sleep to finally put an end to this. I hope that when it happens, everyone will know who to blame.
The only reason I haven't done it yet is because of my cat and my boyfriend (god knows how I managed to find someone willing to put up with the mess that I am, but to date he's the only one to ever stay and the only one who ever will) but I think he'll get over me quickly. I've watched his life get better while mine gets worse and worse. He's funny and talented and smart and he's so much further ahead in life than me. I know I hold him back even though he doesn't say it. I'm so tired of being dead weight to him almost as much as I'm tired of being alive at all. He's too good for that, y'know? The longer I'm with him the more I'll hurt him when I die young. It's not right.
I don't even know how I plan to do it. Maybe I'll just swallow everything in the medicine cabinets without a set plan and see what it does. I couldn't care less anymore. It never gets better for people like me. I think some of us were born to die to keep things balanced and even. Maybe I'm better as a statistic or a headline or something. I don't know. Wouldn't that be messed up?
At least I don't have to write a note. Nobody would find it or care what it has to say. I have my door blocked off so I don't think anyone will find my body until the smell gets through the house. My parents always thought suicide was a stupid decision. "Why would you do that over something that's just in your head?" they'd always tell me. Is this a final act of vengeance? Not really. I'll just prove them right that I'm their deadbeat good for nothing son. They'll get to play the victim cards forever as parents of a dead kid. The idea of surrender used to piss me off. I just don't want to give them the satisfaction of being the ones to take me out, even if it's slowly.
How does anyone end these things? I made a throwaway account for this, I don't really use Reddit and I dunno what I even want from posting this. To be seen, I guess. I hope it all ends soon. I really do. However that end may come.
