CW: Family trouble, dysphoria, sad
Spending time this weekend with my family visiting for the thesis defense has been painful. I'm not out to them yet, so this is just the "regular" nagging and disrespect I see from them, my father and one of my sisters especially. Finally had the courage to tell off my dad, at least via text, although the message was softened.
I've spent the last two hours wanting to cry. The tears are welling up, but they don't release. This should be a happy weekend. I put in so much effort and time and I just feel so bad.
Congrats on the defense. Sorry its been a rough time despite that. Hope for the best if you haven't talked to him since sending the text.
