That's disturbing, but that is exactly what I mean.

Yeah, all dues and no play makes Gabe a dull boy.

Who needs to enjoy one of the most beautiful countries on earth when you have Wi-Fi and an IV drip of top shelf drama?

Hi Jordan and Gabe.

I was raised by my mom who struggled with serious mental health issues.

She was manipulative and controlled most parts of my life and would even message my friends pretending to be me.

It completely shattered my trust and made me pull away from everyone.

Eventually, I cut off all my friends because I couldn't handle the confusion and shame that came with it.

Oh my god, that's awful.

Oh, it's called Unknown Number.

I ran away when I was 21 and felt totally unprepared for the real world.

I'm 29 now and I still feel lost.

I don't have friends or any family around me.

Man, that's hard.

Not long ago, I found out my mom had also lied to me about my dad.

She told me he was abusive and didn't care about me and a bunch of other horrible things.

But I found his Facebook profile and learned that wasn't true.

Presumably.

We've reconnected a little, though he lives in another province, so it's been hard to build much of a relationship.

I also helped my younger sister escape from my mom's control.
