I was always there for my family, ... to treat me like the embarrassment, the strange one. They needed me to be in that role. I gave it up and refused to play it. They responded with distance. If I wasn't going to be what they needed me to be they would let me go completely. So, Im gone, living in South America with a newfound family that respects me more than I've ever been before. Now I'm exploring who I am and who I can be. Its actually an adventure.
It sounds like you've gone through a deeply transformative journey, both in terms of your relationships and your sense of self. Struggling with the expectations of family, especially when they require you to play a role that doesn't align with your true identity, can be incredibly painful. Your decision to walk away and create a new life in South America shows immense strength and courage. Exploring who you are and discovering a newfound family that respects you for who you are rather than for who they want you to be is a profound shift. It's inspiring that you're embracing this adventure, and it sounds like you're finding peace and fulfillment in a way that was previously unavailable to you. This journey of self-discovery can be both exciting and challenging, but it's powerful to hear that you're embracing it with an open mind and heart. I hope this new chapter brings you even more clarity, joy, and the freedom to live authentically.
