You shouldn't have to be your parents therapist.
You are not responsible for their mood swings. You shouldn't have to spend your days struggling to keep the peace between them. You shouldn't have to put all your energy into avoiding conflict.
They shouldn't make their emotional problems yours to deal with.
You shouldn't have to suffer for their bad days.
You are their child. You shouldn't have to he more mature than them.
They are the ones who signed up to take care of and raise you, not the other way around.
Abuse doesn’t make you ‘tough’, it makes it so when someone hurts you, you get a massive flashback to every time anyone has ever hurt you, you have to remove yourself from the situation to get a massive breakdown, you don’t get to react properly because you’re overwhelmed and unsure what’s real, and at the end of the day you’re filled with doubt over whether you feelings are all wrong and what amount of upset you’re allowed to be and you just sit there devastated asking yourself what is wrong with you and why can’t you be normal

Where in the Earth would you be the heaviest? Standing on the surface of Earth, or in orbit around the Earth, to a first approximation the gravity of the planet is no different whether the planet has a lot of mass right at the center or has mass evenly distributed throughout, or has all its mass right at the surface. However, if you moved down through the planet, the gravity will change. If all Earth’s mass was at the center, you’d find that gravity increased as you approached the center, then dropped right as you reached it. If most of Earth’s mass was near the surface, you’d find gravity gradually decreased as you moved towards the center.

Stupid dreams. Even the good ones are bad, because they remind you how poorly reality measures up.
