Badhome - Blog Posts

Ok, but I saw this scrolling through Instagram reels, and it made me want to burst out in tears.

I used to live in a place like this. Kids at school used to make fun of me for smelling bad. Teachers used to complain that I didn't have good hygiene.

But I was terrified to have a shower in my own home because of how gross everything was. Not to mention being intruded on because no one in that house had any sense of healthy boundaries.

I didn't have any money to even afford deodorant, let alone pads or tampons, half the time, and my dryer at home was broken, so my clothes were always damp and moldy. How is it even possible for a child to possibly take care of themselves when they live in a place like that? and ultimately have no choice or say in the matter?

I left at 17, it's been 5 years now since I lived there. 3 years since I went completely no contact.

If there's any young people on my page who are seeing this and are in a similar situation. Just know that you are not alone 😔🩵

It's not your fault 🫂💔

And you don't deserve any of this, and just because "they are your parents" doesn't mean you own them anything.
