Description Managed to get some practice in today since my mood's been alright and it's been easier, just experimenting with colors. I like how this turned out so I might try to use colors more often instead of injecting them with filters on my work.
I've been stressed out and lethargic lately these past few days and trying to get my head in the game and do some drawing so I don't lose muscle memory. I don't trust myself to work on commissions in that state so I'm sorry that your art is coming in slow. Hopefully I'll be out of this environment soon. It isn't as bad as it was on the 10th-17th but I can't really risk going through that again.

VENT INCOMING

 Essentially what happened was my dad came home and started breaking and throwing stuff at the wall, trashing the place. With how he was acting, I assumed we had gotten in trouble and were about to be evicted. It turns out, my "summer job" of keeping the house clean and watching the kids wasn't literally a summer job and instead of talking to me about it he would rather just pitch a fit. And still not talk to me about what was wrong. The days after that were pretty stressful too. He was being really cruel to the kids and his general moodiness kept me and everyone else tense. I assume he told my brother to shut off the internet to spite me and I was only really able to contact 3 people who could only tell my other friends why I suddenly got quiet. The next day I walked to a starbucks to let everyone know where I went in case I wasn't able to get the internet back on. He also started making passive aggressive posts about getting me to pay rent, which isn't really fair considering my 21 year old brother doesn't pay for it either. Now that the kids are going back to school I have become essentially useless to him and now he wants to use me for money. Awesome.

He has still been acting a little out there. I learned from one of his exes that he is manipulative and will throw a fit to scare you into getting what he wants and then acting sad to pull you back in out of empathy. A lot of the men on my dads side seem to be really good at pulling tears out of their ass. Whether he is actually sorry or not, I couldn't care. I don't have the strength for people like that anymore and I wouldn't shed a tear if he died. He has been known to abuse the women in his life, including my mother.

It's really been hell here. I cannot wait to leave.

I helped a friend out of a situation just like that Get out as soon as you can, it's the best thing you can do. Whether you find a roommate and such, definitely plan for it. It is so very bad for you to stay in an environment that is so toxic  Hang in there until you can get out, know we are here for support! The friend of mine had had several step-mom's and such because her dad was that way and they all left. He threw tantrums, throwing and breaking things, yelling, cutting her off on internet and phone so she couldn't contact anyone. She was so afraid once that she locked herself in the bathroom and she couldn't move, her legs were too shaky. He had never hit her before, but the threat in the way that he was acting was so intimidating that she was terrified. I had been texting her before the incident that night and was afraid when she didn't text back. It ended with the cops being called, but as he had not really hurt anyone in the family, nothing was done. She slowly packed her things after that and loaded them into her car, little by little, until she saved enough and had her most important things in her car, and she left. Stayed with me at my mom's until we could move out into our own apartment. Her attitude after that was so much better, but the years of being in that environment definitely took a toll on her self-esteem and anxiety. If you ever feel that threat, always contact SOMEONE, somehow, let someone know. You shouldn't have to live with that.

Oh god, I'm really sorry about you friend. I'm glad she's out of that situation. No one deserves to put up with it. I plan on talking to someone about the situation with the kids once I get out of here and try to get child services involved, because the kids get treated poorly here. If I tried anything at the moment I'm pretty sure I'd be sleeping outside (the last time I lived here I had to sleep on the apartment complex stairs) and now that I'm 22 I'm sure they'd have no issues giving me the boot and I'm not in the best situation to be out and on my own yet x/ I don't have a lot of reliable resources here and starting family drama while I'm still in this place wouldn't be smart.. gah.. Even then, I don't want the kids or my brother to have to take a toll because I got child services involved. My brother and I aren't in a great situation document wise to get an ID and birth certificate, so we can't even go to college yet. I'm just conflicted in general about what the right move would be. Either way, thanks for the words. I'll try to do something, though I'm not sure what. Something really needs to be done about my dad.

Yeah, I agree. That is understandable, you have to be careful until you are more secure and have a way to be sustained without them. I am sorry you have had to sleep outside like that Situatins like this are so difficult, especially with kids involved. My friend had two sibling in the situation, but luckily her step-mom was able to take them out of the situation when she left. Whether it be now or later, I hope you guys can get through it and be able to get the documents and stability that you need to do it! Sometimes you just gotta wait on it, but still, confide in others so that you aren't alone and someone knows. I wish you all the luck with this!


Also, your drawing is beautiful!
