It’s my younger brother.
I am the third of 4 children, the youngest turns 19 this year
We have had an abusive mother and family our whole lives, it was many times harder on my brother and me since we are the ones to keep the family bloodline going.
The pressure to be perfect was crushing me until I turned 14, when I finally broke. Since then It’s been hell just to keep them off my back.
They have done irreparable physical and psychological damage to me.

But I won’t let them crush my brother too. He got a chance to leave and study abroad, away from all this hell. Once he leaves I can finally let go.
Once he is free I won’t have to worry any longer and will be able to end my story.

My only regret is I wish I could have been a better brother to him. He leaves in 40 days
