Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

If anything I'm a little envious of people who had normal upbringings. Mostlly I'm grateful that someone has had a happy upbringing. Because of my mom's disorder, it's been (and still is) really hard for me to know if my reactions to situations are normal or whether I should have a reaction at all.

I had a breakthrough not long ago. I had taken my young niece with me to visit my mom who, true to form, began one of her episodes of threatening to kill herself, blaming everyone she knows for her problems, etc., etc.

I found my niece crying quietly in the dark. See, she hadn't known her grandmother was like this. All at once I realized, I was the youngest of my siblings. There hadn't been anyone to take me away when my mom got bad. I had been powerless to help myself back then, but I wasn't powerless any longer. I had the power to get my niece out of that situation.

So I did, despite my mother crying and tugging at me and begging us not to leave. I felt...free.
