I've been needing to vent for a while now, but I've mainly kept my frustrations to myself because I know eventually I have to let what happened go. I also know that what I'm about to describe was two months ago and so traumatic that I think it'll hurt for a long time. I'll start with where I'm at now, and then go back to the root of the problem. Right now, I just moved into an apartment less than a month ago and had to do so because of a dynamic I had with my mother. To put it simply, as I have a character limit- she's had a habit of talking inappropriately about me to my younger brother and can get violent after periods of time. This year, she'd kicked me out twice, this last time I have not come back as I've cut contact. But even with being gone she lies about me OFTEN. And it tears me to shreds because I know she'll never be accountable and there will be plenty of people who will think lies about me are the truth. I've been physically and mentally hurt. I wish she'd stop.
