Unconditional love is a deceptive and contradictory illusion, nothing unfamiliar. But for your own well being, make it a priority to distance yourself from your parents as soon as you are able. If you are more fortunate than I am and have a place to go, do not hesitate, leave. I am Italian, and despite working, I remain trapped at the edge of poverty. Owning a home feels like an unreachable dream. Even within the walls of your own house, you will be haunted by the shape of your face, and you will feel like nothing more than a burden, a problem to be tolerated.
My parents abandoned me to myself, leaving behind only manipulation and pressure. They push me to spend on the house, to stay at work endlessly, to sacrifice every fragment of peace I manage to find. I am a solitary man, worn down, and terrified of life itself. All I truly long for is to disappear, to hide away from a world that has only wounded me.
If you recognize yourself in these words, know that I love you. From the depths of my sorrow, I wish with all my being that you will rise above every wound, every fear, and triumph over the darkness that tries to claim you.
