I'm a woman that dont want to be married, is that weird?

[/u/LotusRedEngine]

I'm 30, and I grew up with a very abusive father. He didn't physically abuse, he was just a severe narcissist.. he told me that I could never date no matter how old I got, told me that I didn't have to work and that I was to live with my mom forever... My dad abused my mother and she never could truly move on, though he did and he had multiple children with multiple women. My siblings who are 15 - 16 years older than me were also abusers and robbed me of my life as my dad did them .. My dad died when I was 13.

My 20s were depression, lost, low self esteem and even now I'm still homeless but I'm trying to come out of it. I haven't really dated, nothing serious at least.. and I do want to fall in love and be really good life partners with someone.. but my fear of being trapped and controlled is at an all time high.. so marriage is not my thing

I have been in your position. As a Black woman, I am aware of how important it is to look a certain way while also taking care of others around you. Somewhere along the way, the scale came to represent your value rather than who you truly are. You are not just a measurement or a number on the scale.
