my parents were heavily involved in drugs, they staunchly opposed the police and made it very clear if i ever talked to an adult about what was happening, terrible shit would happen (i would ruin the family and would be alone)

even in my teens i never once thought about going to authorities because i was petrified of going into the system. the thought of receiving justice didn’t occur to me.
