Organized a bit more because it seem too much and too intense
Family Situation & Background
I’m facing a challenging situation with my family, particularly with my father, and I’m unsure how to move forward. I love my family, but I feel like they limit and control me. My father has been very manipulative, especially after my mother passed away. He’s treated me more like a partner than a daughter, which has been unsettling. He’s emotionally dependent on me and does everything to keep me close, even preventing me from moving out or traveling. I’m 23 years old, and I know it’s time for me to live my own life, but he tries to make me feel guilty about wanting to leave.
Misdiagnosis and Control
When I was 17, my father convinced doctors that I had bipolar disorder, even though I always knew something didn’t feel right about the diagnosis. Recently, a new doctor confirmed that I don’t have bipolar disorder, which was a huge relief, but also a painful realization. For years, my father controlled me with medication and reinforced the idea that I had a disorder. Now that the truth is out, I feel betrayed and confused. He still tries to keep control over me by making me doubt myself, my intuition, and my decisions.
Adoption and Secrets
I’m adopted from Ethiopia, and there are many unanswered questions about my adoption. I’ve tried to learn more about my origins, but my father has blocked every attempt. He even gets angry when I talk about visiting Ethiopia, calling the country dangerous and primitive. I believe there are secrets regarding my adoption, especially about my brother, who was with me in the orphanage but disappeared without explanation. When I took a DNA test, it revealed a mixed heritage (almost 50% East African and 50% from other regions), which added to my confusion. My father refuses to talk about it, and it feels like my entire history has been erased.
Psychic Reading and Intuition
Recently, I had a psychic reading, and it confirmed much of what I’ve been feeling. The psychic told me that I need to leave my current situation, that I’m a “new soul” with too much energy (which aligns with my ADHD diagnosis), and that I have healing and psychic abilities. She said I’m blocking myself because of fear, which resonates deeply. My father has always made me doubt my abilities and intuition, but deep down, I know I’m capable of much more. I feel like my purpose is greater than staying in this stagnant situation.
Manipulation and Emotional Dependency
My father is a chemist, and since I was young, he’s been obsessed with giving me pills for various issues he believed I had. He hit me, insulted me, and manipulated others into believing I was the problem. Now that I’m off the medication and seeing things clearly, I realize how much he’s been gaslighting me. Despite this, I still love him and believe he’s not a bad person—just deeply emotionally damaged. However, his needs and manipulation are holding me back from living my life and fulfilling my potential.
Need for Change
I know I need to move out of Spain and start a new chapter in my life, possibly in the U.S. or London. I have a lot of skills—I’ve completed a nursing assistant program, and I’m certified in reflexology and NLP—but I don’t trust my knowledge or abilities because of the way my father has controlled me. I’ve tried to confront him and get my documents back, but it’s been a constant battle.
Uncovering the Truth
There’s so much mystery around my adoption. My father refuses to let me visit Ethiopia, and when I tried to buy a ticket, he screamed at me. The orphanage even blocked access to records of my birth and adoption, making it feel like my identity has been erased. I remember having many siblings before the orphanage, but now it’s like those memories are being hidden or denied. I believe the truth will eventually come out, but I feel trapped and powerless to uncover it.
Seeking Guidance
I know I’m capable of so much more, but I feel stuck in this situation. I need guidance on how to break free and start living my life, fulfilling my purpose, and finding out the truth about my origins. If anyone can offer advice, guidance, or any resources, I would be incredibly grateful. I just want to understand the truth of my situation and move forward in a safe and effective way.
