i'm just gonna copy and paste a status i made on fb lol.
Told my mom I bought these cbd joint things. Won’t get me high. But they’ll help with the stressful ness that will happen next month. I realize I didn’t need to tell her. I’m an adult ya. But I wasn’t gonna be sneaking around smoking. So I told her I bought them for my stress. Which is true, got them for stress and to help me sleep, havent been sleeping much lately.

This is why I don’t talk about my feelings. “Okay nick.” That’s my deadbeat dad. He’s an alcoholic that has chosen alcohol, crack, and other drugs to mask the shit in his life. My mom assumes cbd is part of weed, so it must be bad lol. So after she called me nick, I went “and this is why I didn’t want to tell you” her response? “I just don’t understand why you have stress. You have nothing to be stressed and depressed about. Try paying bills. Try worrying about how you’re going to raise a child by yourself. Then you can be stressed. What you have happening in your life, all you have to do is take care of it and move on.”

Why the FUCK are there adults with this mindset that young adults, teens and kids can’t experience stress and depression?

@ChiffonOrange: honestly though. and like, they dont realize that, young adults and teens commit suicide, but before they did so, they went to an adult with that mindset for help. and that adult told them to "get over it." "dont sweat it" "you'll be fine."

i'm not saying im gonna commit suicide, but the thought has definitely crossed my mind in the past.

now i just endure the verbal abuse, and save up so i can flee one day.

I'm sorry for that, its really frustrating when people just draw assumptions about your life as if they were living it. You can live with someone and still not know the first thing that's going on with them, tbh.

My dad kind of does this to me but I know his reasoning a little bit. Without going into a story, a choice he made 8 years ago resulted in the whole family suffering and he's overwhelmed with guilt about it. So he denies my stress because it hurts him to know it (I usually try not to say anything about it but sometimes I forget). He also struggles with bipolar disorder preeeeeetty badly so emotions are hard for him :|

Just because other people have it worse than you, it does not negate your problems. She is projecting her problems onto you and it's not very fair of her to do so because you are not the source of her problems. It sounds like she's working through some issues (who isn't honestly) so try not to take it too personally, but also know that you don't deserve it. If you find something that helps you and you're happy with your choices then that's what matters.
