Cutting off my family in less than 3 months!
Hi everyone, I used to have an account here until I got locked out. I'm F22 and I'm graduating US college in 3 months, so I plan to cut off my family right after then but I might do it before I graduate if it gets too much.
My parents have tried getting me into multiple arrange marriages and this summer they plan to take me back to their home country so I can find a suitable man and get married ASAP. I've been caught with some lies in the past before and practically kidnapped/taken against my will multiple times, so I know they are trying to marry me off immediately. They told me I cannot get a full-time job that's not nearby our hometown and I must live at home until I get married, which I will not do obviously. To avoid that and getting trapped back at home, I am going to delete all contact with them and get a restraining order if I have to.
I am very anxious about my departure since it is so soon, but I have accepted it. I know where I'll be heading off and have a list of things I must do to make sure they don't find me because knowing my father, he is a very physically abusive man and would try to murder me.
If you have any tips, advice on protection, legal stuff, or just want to chat about our similar experiences (especially if you are a woman who has left their family!), please message me :) Scared, but i'm going to do it! I deserve to live my own life, we all do!
