so i decided to tell my mom about seeing an actual therapist and using our health insurance for it and i got just exactly the response i expected and now my entire family isn’t speaking to me because i am seeking help for myself for problems they had a huge part in causing tbh but that apparently “don’t exist” and this is wasting money. 

money > my wellbeing 

so once again, i am shown that my family 

1. 1. is extremely ignorant
2. 2. unsupportive as per usual
3. 3. only concerned about vapid shit

49. anclrewdm said: I’m sorry dear :( you really didn’t deserve that type of response
50. sadolescence said: That’s awful, Rachel. I’m sorry that your family isn’t very supportive, considering they’ve contributed and play a part in the matter. You’ve definitely got support from your friends/followers. <3
