Hiya!

My name is Robin Sion Nguyen, and I'm finally taking the steps to try and leave my abusive home with my two cats.

I'm 20 years old, transgender, Asian-American (Vietnamese) and an artist!

For years since I was a child, I've been treated with little to no respect. It'll be easier for me to list things.

- She berates me every second she gets, making sure any action that she caused is MY fault

- Her rules trap me in the house. I'm not allowed to go outside, not even to the backyard, and if I wanted to go somewhere with my friends, my mother would have to come with. Not only that, she's been highkey stalking me. For example, she would wait in the parking lot and watch me at school, and she would come into my workplace for no reason at all.

- When I try to clean up her hoard around the house, she immediately yells at me and tells me to put everything back. Her room has items and such from floor to ceiling, and no matter how many times I tell her its a hazard, she tells me how I need to mind my business. It IS my business because her hoard is spreading throughout the house. And by the way, the house has (including me) SEVEN people in it.

- More hoarding stuff, she has spread her hoard into my room, and even uses my closet for her clothing as well.

- She often looks through my packages and mail, and my overall belongings. With that note, she would often steal money from my wallet, causing me to hide it. However, even if I hide it, she would go through my bags, my closet, my drawers, anything to go through my wallet and take something.

- She would also hide my medication and tell me "I would be more beautiful without it", and constantly fat shames me for taking medication. Once, I went without my medication for a month, and nearly died from an attempt of offing myself. After being admitted, she just told me to not me weak.

- There's also a dent in a wall from one of the people living from us in a fit of anger.

- My mother is trying to make me pay the majority of the rent, which will make it harder for me to move. The other 4 people in the house get off scott free because my mother doesn't want them to pay the rent, just me, her, and another person.

- More on the rent, the other person that's supposed to pay rent got laid off of their job, and my mother doesn't have a job, only government support. The rent is $1,000 USD, not including utilities. I will be expected to pay it in full soon.

- She has no boundaries. She often walks in on me showering and refuses to leave, the same can be said when I'm changing. She even often forces me to strip down and "teach me how to shower." I am 20 years old.

- She's openly racist, sexist, transphobic, and homophobic.

- I was never taught how to care for myself, for I'm not even allowed to. I'm not allowed to cook, I'm not allowed to do laundry, I'm not allowed to take the trash out, etc.

- I would always get leftovers instead of being called to dinner, if there was anything left. I often had to order delivery for myself because any food my mother would put in the fridge for me would often be rotten/expired.

- She rearranges my room and "organizes" it to her liking. This causes me to lose important items I will look for in the future, and her having no clue where she put it.

- She constantly manipulates me, gaslights me, and guilt trips me.

- She's incredibly weird about me working. At first, she was completely against me working ANYWHERE, and would yell at me for it. Suddenly when I got a job, she was okay with it and in fact wanted me to work more. Now all of a sudden she wants me to quit my job.

- She got mad and YELLED at my therapist, asking why she couldn't be in the same room as me when I'm talking about my emotions, and that we were taking too long in there.

- When I keep telling her to go to therapy, she tells me that all therapists do is lie and take your money, or money from the government.

- She plays guessing games when I'm driving and she's navigating. For example, I would ask if I needed to go to the left, and she would go "What do you think? I've said it before, what do you think?" and would continue when I said I was confused, then finally yelling at me to go left, causing me to make last minute moves. This is incredibly dangerous and could lead to a car accident.

- She has tried to take my driver's license and keep it.

- There was once an investigation on her from my elementary school. She guilted me into not saying anything to them. That's all I remember from that time, but it still emphasizes my point on how other people have noticed the way she treated/treats me.

- I used to be afraid of upsetting her, because she says things like "If you make me sad, I'll die. I'll die and you won't have anyone to love you anymore, because I'm the only person who will ever love you." As a child, I would be deathly afraid of her dying because I truly believed that she would actually drop dead the moment I say something bad about her, or do anything to upset her. She still says this to me by the way.

- The reason why I want to take my cats with me is because of my mother's hoarding. Numerous times, I had to dig through her hoard and rescue the cats from it because they crawled into a space they couldn't get out of. I'm afraid they won't be able to get out one day.

There is so much more she has done and IS doing to me. Please help me move.

I also have art commissions open, so if you'd like something in exchange, please go to twitter.com/orbinpng or contact me via Discord: kaname.date

Here are some pictures of me, my cats, some of the hoard.
