"You were such a good kid growing up"

Something similar happened when my brother denied hurting me, even though he'd said he was really ashamed of himself right after he hurt me. That made me smile because I had taken pictures of the injuries that I showed to him and he closed his eyes and was asking me to stop. Then said he did remember it, how could he forget it but he didn't want to think about it.

He has been a lot better since but I still don't want to stay in contact with him or most of the people here after I manage to move out. I didn't think I could move out until a year ago, they had me convinced that I'd never escape them, unless I married someone (that they approve of ofc)

Sorry for the rant, can't really talk to many people about this. I'm just keeping it all in till I can leave.
