Warning: maybe a long message.
Tldr: I fought my way through, I'm allowed to be beltless at home.
I've not been doing that great for the past few days. Reading some experiences here and talking to people have made me re think my stance on wearing a belt.
Since school started this week, my sister has been out of her belt, I got a release on Monday, that didn't help much. I went through some sort of a tipping point and yesterday I couldn't keep my thoughts to myself so I had to have a talk with my parents.
Not going into much detail (I can if you are curious?), my parents are not happy. They were angry yesterday, they seem disappointed today - especially my mother. I'm out of the belt at home (Like my sister is now), I'll be required to wear it whenever they are both gone or I'm going outside.
I feel I justified being belted at home by saying how it might be because of my past habits, but now I no longer think so. I'm really happy once I got the belt off me.
I also have a fear now of being kicked out, I have a 3 month buffer to pay for a apartment and food if needed, I'm planning to extend that to atleast a year to be really safe.
I pretty much told them I will move out if I don't get what I need (the look on thier faces when i said this, they were a bit scared) and I can't take being belted anymore. I think they figured that if they don't let me be, the next step i might take (with all the emotions with me) could put them on trouble for a long time. What I did could probably not be done by people who are locked by their parents (and aren't ok with it f
fully) because they are dependant on their parents. Those who are willing, I see no issue.
I should also clarify my willingness to wear. For the past 2-3 years, i was mostly ok with it, there were some days when I was super Sad about all of this. The past few days have been one of those situations. And yes, I did tell them I'm okay with wearing it outside. Maybe if I think that's too much someday, I'll talk/fight with them.
I wanted to post it yesterday, but my mind wasn't in the best of states. I'm not leaving, I'll still be around. Have a good day.
