TW VENT I am so upset that my obvious mental illness went unnoticed as a child. I would wash my hands until they literally bled. Same with my lips. For a year I wouldn’t swallow my own saliva bc I believed it was “ germy “ it’s so upsetting that just I’m just now realizing the neglect they put me through, and everything they turned a blind eye to. I was an only child, alone with mother.I had extreme attachment issues. She would leave me alone the entire day with the tv on, and spend nights with her boyfriend. Often leaving me alone with my drunk or high father. I’m only realizing now how much my childhood is too blame for shit...Ik this isn’t really a place to vent but I just needed to rn.
