Justina Wensveen

I left.

I (21F) just walked out of my house and my relationship - with nothing but the clothes on my back, a couple pairs of shoes, my son, and my cats - on a whim. Why? Because I’m tired. I’m tired of asking for the bare minimum when it comes to our son and our house. I’m tired of living in a dirty house because I’ve refused to clean up after someone who should be fully capable of cleaning up after themselves. And I’m tired of playing pretend. I knew I’d be solo parenting 90% of the week, while working a full time job. What I did not sign up for was to be a parent of not only my baby, but also a 23 year old. I cannot keep going unheard, no matter how much I communicate. Ever since we got the house and moved in full time, he’s been nothing but mentally abusive and I just can’t do it anymore. My last straw was when he left for the city he’s working in and I saw the sink full of dishes and half the bottle parts still in the dishwasher. I put my life on hold to take care of our child and still work a shitty paying job, doing what I can, just to have shit held over my head and be treated as if I’m not doing enough. I don’t care what it takes to do this all on my own, I will *not* be in the sam
