Appearently, according to my ex-step-father, I'm way too intelligent not to be using my mental illness as an excuse and as a tool to manipulate everyone around me.

Then he went on and compared it to substance dependency and addiction.

I'm sorry, I know this isn't the type of stuff I usually post, but this just absolutely reduced me to tears. I've been struggling with depression and all the fun ways borderline personality disorder affects your everyday way of thinking for years, wanting nothing more than to be able to live and view life like a normal person. This coming from someone who I have lived under the same roof for a decade, someone who has seen me struggle - and most important of all, seen how I interract with people, how scared I am to hurt anyone - and then he accuses me of just hiding behind the shy, sweet girl's facade...

This is the first time I met someone who actively does not believe that mental illness can be impairing. And this is a person who claims to know me the best aside from my own mother.

EDIT: I was dependent on alcohol for nearly two years, I know all about the addiction, its withdrawal and the way it makes you act.

Translation:

'Oh my~, look she's pushing him out'

'Go away, that's my place!'

'She's textbook-style pushing him out'

'Go away!'

My mum was sad that she had to throw out the flowers after they wilted, knowing that we won't be able to buy fresh ones during quarantine, so I made some lasting ones for her.

It was fun, especially since we didn't have colourful paper and I had to paint all 23 of them too.
