@OpenComputeDesign Since i found you again, so, how's stuff going?
@admitsWrongIfProven Have you heard my little sister ran away?
@OpenComputeDesign No, and it is quite heavy on me needing context. What happened? Parent fuckup, or did you manage to actually do something that modifies the world around?
@admitsWrongIfProven I don't know exactly why she ran away now. 7 months before her 18th birthday.
I know she wanted to move out, I was even trying to help her get ready. But I thought she'd move out normally, when she turned 18.
Instead she's in foster care, and my parents are spending tens of thousands of dollars on lawyers. Because while they were, my dad especially, kinda crappy parents some times, I don't believe the accusations she's made against them.
And because I was, or at least I thought I was, her confidant, I'm stuck in a really crappy place.
@OpenComputeDesign Another take: you thought she would move out "normally". Why? If someone is - by what you say - desperate. what makes you think it is "normal"?
I sure did not need to clear out from my parents urgently. All that you describe points toward her being the only one with any sense in your family.
What is it that your parents do that drives people away?
@admitsWrongIfProven I thought she would because we had been making plans for her. And because I didn't think it was _that_ bad. I don't think she or the rest of my family are that bad, I just think they are incompatible.
@OpenComputeDesign Dude, you are a beacon of "this is not ok". You might cope, but that is just because you are great. Does not mean anyone else should go through that.
List what has been done to you. You'll need that list to work through when you come back from the denial.
Keep checking what changes, the list might be confusing :-)
@OpenComputeDesign After all, you cannot let go of something you don't see.
