Struggling to Find My Identity After Escaping Abusive Parents

I was very much the same growing up. Moved out at 21 and just within the past couple years I've finally found a job I love with a potential career through college in the same vain and I've kinda found myself as well. So it took about 6 or 7 years for me to figure it all out. It's a long road of finding yourself because you're doing it so late and most people "find" themselves in their teens so it'll take a bit just don't rush it. Embrace the healing and find people that will help you through that process and can help push you to be you and not what someone else wants you to be

Find your little things that make you happy and work your way up to the big stuff

You will find peace friend, just take it day by day and do more of what you love and less of what you don’t love. Keep going until one day you say woah I’m proud of myself.

It’s been proven by studies that we don’t have an identity because of the abuse. We have to do the work to find ourselves because of it. It’s crap because they are the aholes and we suffer.
