You can't heal in toxic environments.

It wasn’t your fault if you grew up in a toxic environment. You were just a child. The burden of shame is theirs to carry, not yours.

Help?
My girlfriend's best friend is in a housing situation that is not good for their health nor the other housemates' health. So, I'm trying to help raise funds to get them back to their family in Washington state. I'm hoping to raise $2k but if I hit $1.5k I'd be happy and extremely grateful! We're hoping to raise the funds by May. If you can help message me. Please and thank you!!
P.S. I realize this might not be the best way to ask but I've never done anything like this before so I wasn't sure what to do. I appreciate your patience with me though. @potorch
My girlfriend reminded me to add my PayPal https://paypal.me/dannibowen

I completely lost it on my mom a few weeks ago. I just started screaming at her about how her son is her responsibility, and, if she doesn't want to divorce my dad, then stfu (stop constantly bitching, to me, about him.)
My mom tells me these horrendous stories about my dad abusing her DECADES ago, like I should feel sorry for her when she married and kept having kids with him. She tells me how troubled her son has always been, long before I was born, like I should feel sorry for him, and she excuses everything he does as trauma or a bipolar episode, but is he on fucking meds? Is he in therapy? No, and I'm expected to cook and clean for this fucker while he smokes weed and watches Nazi shit in my home all day.
It's fucking infuriating.

Having your parent viewing you as a mere pawn, a prize, a possession is painful and toxic.
KHR has such shitty parents.

"You cannot heal in the same environment that made you sick "
Is a true statement, but not accessible for many people. I needed support to leave an unhealthy environment. I hear this quote a lot and I remember when I was trapped in the environment that made me sick. I tried so hard to heal, but it felt demoralizing to hear these words, because I didn't have any way to leave that toxic environment and had to accept where I was. I am just writing this because I feel this reality is often overlooked when people talk about healing. Healing is not a one person job, it takes community and support to help people find a healthier life.

"No, that isn't normal..."
Depending on the type of environment we grew up in, we may have experienced situations where we always had to be in a constant state of defense. Us against the world. Even if this happened to us later in life, it could have still been a very traumatic occurrence, and we may not realize the effects until much later.
One of the most significant effects of this hypervigilance is the constant exhaustion from always being on edge. Even that feeling of being on edge is something that may be a lasting scar on our psyche if left unchecked.
You'll find those who try to justify what happened to you in these sensitive points in your life. "That was just the way it had to be." "They probably had a good reason to treat you that way." "If it was that bad, then why didn't you leave?" All of these cause us to place the blame on ourselves. You may begin to think that you deserved what happened to you. Getting this preached to you, you may then begin to seek out damaging situations and relationships to match what you experienced in those former environments, leading you to further blame yourself when things go wrong. The cycle can be broken.
Those things that you know deep down to go against what normal humanity looks like? Begin to call those things out for what they really are. If you have a hard time verbally calling them out, start by writing them down. Journal. Sing. Make art. Do something that helps you to gain clarity on what you think or feel in regard to those things that you are uncovering. It may be scary at first. That happens especially if you were forced to disconnect from what you were really experiencing and pass off a false reality to maintain peace, but you have to move these feelings through your mind and body.
You may have trouble getting used to using your voice as in the past, it was turned right back against you. But something to always keep in mind is that normal, everyday, day-to-day life is not like a courtroom. Healed and emotionally mature people don't have a reason to pretend to be defense attorneys who break down your every sentence for error and inconsistency. There is a big difference between healthy friends and family in our lives who point out (in a healthy manner) where we are going wrong and where we can improve and those who are only doing so to be malicious.
Healthy people in our lives will hold us to a higher standard. Those who are being petty are only there because they want to see us hurt and then break so that they can further demonstrate to us that we are flawed. That is not normal.

I keep on thinking about all sorts of complicated workarounds when there is a very simple solution: walk away. But that one, though simple, is unaffordable. So, all I'm left with is endure, wait it out, patch it up until either it's fixed or "walk away" becomes a matter of survival.

So white and foei felt that making a joke about sexually assualting First because you know he likes that stuff, was okay. Don't talk to me about that apology, it was half ass and didn't touch any of their social media. First clearly didn't want to accept the apology, just look at how he accidentally stopped tagging safe house.
Even if First accepted that apology. Which I don't believe for a minute. Where is mine. I was a fan and you just joked about sexual assault like I was a person not worthy of worth or recognition. That I'm not a survivor to you but a victim unworthy of compassion.
When Krist messed up and made a comment not nearly as bad as this. There were immediate repercussions and he made a very public apology. He even responded to sexual assault victim's comments with apologies for them. Build truly apologized with a real statement and again comments not as bad as this. Now we get a truly horrific and violent comment and we are supposed to accept a weak ass apology. Smh
Entertainment does not trump integrity. I don't believe in cancel culture but I also don't believe that someone who makes a joke about raping someone's ass is a safe person. Especially since this isn't their first homophobic comment. Especially as they clearly aren't sorry.
Tell me what to do guys? Because I don't think this company is going to even try to get better.

MANAGING TRANSITION
YOU HAVE OUTGROWN YOUR CHURCH
This is often the case when God transitions you from one spiritual environment to another. In your current environment, you've experienced everything of God and the life of faith that there is capacity to express. For example, you may have been part of an evangelical church with incomplete scriptural teaching. You have come to a place where the "improve yourself" sermons are not working on your spiritual life. Each week after all the "making you a better person" sermons along with the Church programs and hoopla, you begin to see yourself running on a weekly hampster wheel going nowhere fast. This may be a signal that transition is in the wind.
COMING TO UNDERSTAND
You come to understand that God wants to expose you to a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit. However, your current church simply doesn't have a paradigm for that. Something is being quenched inside you. God transitions you into a new environment where there is a much greater openness to things of the Spirit. You begin to encounter Him in new ways. It can almost feel as if you've been born again – again.
YOUR CURRENT ENVIRONMENT HAS BECOME TOO LIMITING OR RESTRICTIVE
When Elijah was taken to Heaven, his mantle was picked up by Elisha. This initiated a new phase of ministry for the younger prophet. Some of your old "coats" or "mantles" have expired. They were God's anointing for a specific assignment or purpose in a previous season. But now He wants to remantle you for what lies ahead. Picking up the new requires being willing to release the old.
DON'T LET THE PRESENT SEASON BECOME A PERMANENT HABITATION
God brought you into your current season for a reason -- now that season is over. The danger is that you settle and stay too long. You allow a temporary stopover to become a permanent habitation. In Genesis 11:31 we read, "One day Terah took his son Abram... and moved away from Ur of the Chaldeans. He was headed for the land of Canaan, but they stopped at Haran and settled there. Terah lived for 205 years and died while still in Haran." Terah was called to Canaan, but instead he settled in Haran and died there. He stopped short of his destiny and finished up in the wrong place. There are Believers with great callings and dreams from God that get settled and stuck in a place they were only meant to stay for a limited time. They became too comfortable. They struggled with fear of the unknown. Disappointments and hurts from the past kept them from pioneering and taking new risks. In Deuteronomy 1:6–7, God tells Moses, "...You have stayed at this mountain long enough. It is time to break camp and move on..." That's a word for some Believers today. You've been here long enough. It's time to move on.
TRANSITIONING OUT OF A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT
Sometimes God transitions you because something has changed in your environment. A place that was once safe and welcoming has become toxic and destructive. A relationship has become abusive. A boss demeans and mistreats you. A job has become too isolating. A church or ministry has become controlling. To remain there will be damaging or detrimental to your well-being. Move on. Do whatever you need to do. You must protect yourself and those under your care.
BETWEEN TWO SEASONS
You could be in the middle of a transition, but until now, you haven't realized it. If you discover that you're in between two seasons start to dress for the season you're entering, not the one you're leaving behind.
