I'm proud of Claudia for speaking out. Abusive parents are no joke and those telling her to be quiet because...respect parents are full of it. Being a parent doesn't give you the right to abuse the defenseless child you're raising. Let me tell you my story. https://twitter.com/IAmHighOnHeels/status/1297868797139976192

I grew up in an abusive household and it messed up my life royally. From depression that forced me to drop out of university. Which was after I was threatened to go there and choked when I wanted to make my own choices by a parental unit. The joys of parental harmony I guess.

I was in a depressive fog for years. At first I was told not to seek help just yet. Then that I could take the time to recover at home then they would pay for me to return to university. So years later with me self-diagnosing and recovering myself. I was ready. They said no.

Turned out they never intended for me to return to university and I was a high school graduate with years of no work experience in mid-twenties. I had no way of explaining it away because there was no medical history since I was not allowed to seek help. So I was stuck.

Years of struggling to find work. Intentional sabotage by parental units when I did. I finally found small steady work freelancing in 2014. But that's when everything took a big downturn which lead to chronic illness and now barely able to work. I don't want to discuss that part.

If I had the resources to get away from my parents at a young age. My life would be very different. So those saying Claudia doesn't have enough proof or should shut up. Need to back off. This young lady is fighting for her future and I'm proud of her.

Thank you for reading this thread. I am ace woman with limited resources and chronically ill. If you can tip or donate to my paypal I would appreciate it. https://paypal.me/secretkarien
