Hello, my name is Isaac Thursday. I'm a 22 year old boyo trying to make my way back into the states for a better life and to escape my family and the country (middle east) that I'm currently living in. I live in a household where my parents don't acknowledge my mental illness, my beliefs, or my sexual orientation, because it would be "too embarrassing" to have people know their son is a depressed/agnostic/bisexual person. I've decided that I want to change that for the better. I want to be be able to finally get out of this shit hole and return back into the states for more opportunities, and have better avenues for my mental health. To start a new life and cut all ties from my old one. To finally be happy.



My father is physically abusive and loves to threaten me. I'm traumatised by him to the point where I can't look him in the eyes, I automatically feel my throat swell up or I intentionally hold my breath to feel like I'm invisible around him. I have to walk on eggshells since he's always angry. Some items he's used: baseball bat, extension cables, hookah hose, bare fist.



My mother is manipulative and is emotionally draining to her children. She steals money from her children to fund her addiction. She places blame on other people except herself. Her favourite method of getting what she wants is by crying on command to help the odds tilt in her favour.



On top of my family situation, it's hard being somewhere where the language is foreign to you. It's even worse not being able to have people understand you due to that same language barrier. This place makes me suicidal and I've attempted to kill myself as a way to just end my suffering and not be here. My best friend Felicia went out of her way to help make this page possible because she's one of the few people that actually cares about my well being, my survival in all this. In my head I'm still incredibly scared about coming out about my situation and I fear that somehow my parents or the government could catch whim of this and I could actually be imprisoned or executed because of my outlook on religion and because of my sexuality.



By donating to me, the money shall be used to fund my rent and living expenses for a couple months to allow enough time for me to find a job and maneuver safely.



Please, if you can't donate that's totally fine. Share this around to help raise awareness on my goal to get the fuck out of here and never comeback.
