so I could be an even bigger burdensome waste of resources

You sure you don't need that therapy more? That sounds exactly like someone who could use a therapy.

I'm just saying if your life was ruined at the start then it's ruined forever, either continue living a ruined life or give up.

That's simply not true as proven countless times.


Maybe therapy can't help you. Statistically speaking, it most likely can. If you try and don't succeed, you can at least tell yourself you tried.

Yeah so I should take food from a food bank because I don't feel like paying for it, and that's completely fair to the homeless people. And I tried for my whole life to cut ties and I'm still stuck. Everyone else got to be kids during childhood, and I was trying to make money online to hopefully move out at 16 or 18. Still never got out.

No, you shouldn't do it because you don't feel like paying, I never said that. But if it would help you move out from your toxic family, go for it. I'm not just talking out of my ass, I've lived through some shit of my own when I was a kid. Therapy helps and that's from personal experience.
