I was a really naive kid and kind of liked everyone who was nice to me even tho they were the type to backstab, but I wasn't really aware of that stuff. I really stuck close to my aunt and grandparents from my dad's side. But when I was like 5 or 6, we moved out from their place and got our own somewhere far away but like in the same town. I didn't really get why but when I grew up, I learned about stuff I could have never expected could happen. My mum told me the reason I don't have my photos from before 6 months of age is cuz my aunt lost the camera and the backup. On top of it, I was shocked and legit freaked out and was bubbling with anger when I heard that my grandparents didn't really want me since I was a girl child. They thought girls have no worth because they can't do anything except stay in the house (I mean back in India there are still stereotypes like these even now, which is honestly unbelievable but they do exist, sigh)113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLuzjSX0Ud
And I'm like a nerd,I'm smart heh 😅, pretty sure I can fend for myself more than my male cousins. But one day, my grandparents just broke it to me without taking my opinion.
"*MY NAME*'S gonna spend her entire first salary on us! She ain't needing it and we took more care of her anyways!"
Like why wouldn't I be needing it? And If I ought to spend it on someone, they'd be my parents.
Like for real people, shamelessness has a limit. They didn't let my mum see or at the very least hold me for the first six months. They made a lady who just gave birth do all the house chores and my dad couldn't help cuz he didn't know cuz they threatened my mum using me. I WAS SO PISSED.
On top of it, when I outright told them no.
They started coming back at me saying stuff like- we raised you, you only have brains or else you're pretty useless. ]
Without those, u've only got that face, if you can't get a nice job or something even with ur brain, just get a rich man.
I mean as if that wasn't bad enough, they didn't even bother or hesitate before saying those things to an ten-year-old kid.
This one time I got really sick and failed my chem exam in 8th, I was sick to the point of being hospitalized and when they came to visit me my aunt silently told me that now I don't have any other option than getting a "rich man" cuz turns out, I'm dumb?
I remember one day we had something in school when I was in 8th itself, and we had to bring our grandparents which was torture cuz my aunt came too. The event didn't have a fixed ending time and my aunt said she'd drop me back home, but instead she took me with her to her friends place who has an 18 years old son. I was like 12 years old. And she just-im not sure if that was a joke but just told her frnds that in future her son could marry me or smth. And I was so uncomfortable cuz that 18 yr old guy was giving me the creeps, the stares he gave were weird and he kept trying to touch me but when I told em about it both my aunt and her friend smirked and brushed it off saying he's just playing. I hated it. We cut ties and moved away in another town(second time moving) after that, but since then I kind of had a phobia of guys or smth, school was hard cuz in 9th and 10th some kid started stalking me and when I caught him she insulted me in front of the whole school.
He legit screamed stuff like I have multiple bfs and I play around and stuff WHICH AIN'T TRUE, and he said some pretty "HURTFUL" stuff which I don't wanna mention. But heh, IDK ig I can at least maintain convos with guys now tho I'm just back to my shy self haha...which doesn't especially help hehe.

TBH I tried phrasing it nicely, these ppl used such filthy words I don't even want to mention em. I personally hate cursing and using those words in my writing.
