Abusive parents love to
pretend that whatever is going on at home is not “real life”, and
you, would have no chance of surviving in “real life”. In fact, you
know nothing about “real life” at all, you are an dumb, uninformed
slob of ignorance and know nothing about living at all. According to them, you
have been living in some kind of “bubble” where no real life events
have been happening, and all of your experiences and opinions have nothing to
do with reality. They even have the nerve to tell you to “start living in
the real life.”

You have been
living nothing but real life. You had a real life experience of surviving in
abusive environment. You have lived a reality of existing next to an abuser.
There is nothing unreal or fake about your experiences, your abusive home is no
bubble, it’s a real, definite hell that you went thru. There’s no question of
you surviving in real life, you literally were surviving the worst of it
already. You proved you are capable of surviving the worst of the worst, being
in presence of a predator who was capable of brainwashing and manipulating you
to keep you scared and unbelieving in your own senses and experiences. 

Every single
thing you lived thru was real life. You took on real life from the second you
were born. Your circumstances were hard and cruel, you got all advantages taken
away from you, replaced with sabotage and hatred, and you’re still alive now.
There isn’t a harsher reality than what you already went thru. Your experiences
count in the real world. What happened to you affects the real world. Your
parents have done nothing but lie to you. You were living in the real world
entire time.
