That's so, that's sad, right?

As a kid.

I know, but I also think that is something that humans, and it is frustrating, and I think especially as women, there's a lot of this of like, when the pain is not something that someone can tangibly and like physically see,

you are dismissed and you're discarded and it's like oh you're being dramatic and so really it's it's they're all the repression of the quote i read of you being like i literally tried not to feel eventually your body was like we have to expel this we have to do something like an exorcism right yeah it has to come out and also my my trait was

It's like, give love to my mother, be there for her.

Everybody wait for her to come home.

Yeah, and escape.

Did your family at this point in high school when you were using know that this was happening?

My brain is just absolutely in turmoil.

And I think also something that's interesting, what you're referring to is I feel like everyone in high school starts to you have a little bit of independence.

You're at boarding school specifically.

So your brain does start to be like, what was happening in my childhood a little bit?

So you're starting to lightly gain this consciousness that you didn't have in those elementary middle school days.

And then you're around more people at boarding school.

You're seeing other people's dynamics.

And the fact that you were like, is my dad the villain or is it my mom?

And your whole reality.

And who am I angry at?

And so drugs.

Yeah.
