Hey everyone, m new here Nd I really dnt knw hw to feel anymore. I relocated to a different country and life hasn't been easy. M with my mom Nd her husband. M experiencing Language barrier cos m an english speaker and my step dad doesn't let me breathe cos of d language. I feel the pressure on me is just too much and it's making me loose my mind. He says I dnt go to clubs, I'm always in my room aside going to school, Nd den m always on my phone and I dnt go out.


Fyn! I know he probably has my best interests at heart but I feel suffocated. At every opportunity he tells me I dnt understand anything Nd so on... Nd all I do is try my best to improve in speaking d language.

I dnt even know how to express my emotions in writing


damn ...m tired😔😔

What aspects of the language barrier cause you the most stress?
