This person has dealt with a lot.
Hello,
My heart hurts for you after hearing what you're going through. I know that it is not easy but you are so, so strong for bearing the weight of everything. You've done so well this far. Now, I won't keep saying things you've probably heard from other people already. You don't need pity or apologies for things people can't change. However instead of apologies and pity, I can give you my advice.
In your request, you didn't ask for any specific advice. That is completely fine. That action alone helps me to get a view into your mind, and how I can help. Honey, you have so much in your head. It's a storm, and you are right in the thick of it. You feel lost, and alone, and maybe even scared. You don't know what to do, or where to go from here, or what the future looks like. And to make it all worse, chances are you're keeping all this to yourself. The best piece of advice I can give to you right now is to talk. Get it all out no matter how long it takes. Write down everything you think of to help organize your thoughts until you find someone you can trust enough to open up to. Start from whatever thought you have, continue writing and writing, don't scratch or erase or change your thoughts, write whatever you feel completely raw.
I know this all probably seems either really generic or absolutely impossible. Trust me, I've been there too, but being able to vent out your pain, your anger, your stress, is such a liberating thing. I mean, you'll probably feel like crap afterwards—worn out mostly. It's emotionally exhausting but you'll feel a hundred times lighter as well. It really does help, believe me. And you know, sometimes you find that out of the people in your life right now, there's one there who will be there for you. Who will listen to you, and be there for you even though you never saw them that way before. You just have to take a chance. It's scary, and difficult, but it can bring you so much closer to them, and it will bring you one step closer to healing as well.

My last piece of advice is to hold the people in your life dear to your heart. They're here with us for a reason. Love and protect your brother. He needs you more than anything and anyone right now. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions or need more advice, you are always welcome to contact us.
Stay strong,

Domain of Man
Isolation is terrible. To feel isolated with your fellow man around you is worse. What if you were dumped in some backwards cave somewhere, completely nude, maybe with your family, or even completely alone? The age of pioneers, heroes, generals, and geniuses is long gone. Humankind has become numb to the world around it because of how paltry everything else is compared to the glory of its history, the sheer volume of their accomplishments, and the sum of its innovations. You can interact with people across the world, travel miles in mere hours, and never prepare your own food or shelter, and it's all accessible to even the normalest of individuals. Artificial intelligence is within arms reach in devices and computers and even houses, and neural interfaces aren't exclusive to the rich and powerful at this point. Someone far in the distance took notice of Earth, saw the multitude of hairless apes swarming its surface. That one went down the checklist to see if humanity had, in fact, beaten the 'game' of Life. Sure enough, they had gone above and beyond the requirements, but nobody had been watching. 'Why might that be?', that one wondered. Protocol was protocol, though, no matter how strange the situation was. They pulled the lever, they flipped the switch. It's time for New Game +. ??? Don't be afraid to leave critique or share your support! I really appreciate any feedback you can give. In any case, I sincerely hope you enjoy the story! It's going to be a wild ride.

8 84Ghost Girl, Ghost Girl. She Gonna Take Your Soul!
Ghost Girl had no name or she didn’t want to use it, for she… is dead. Ghosts like her appeared due to lingering attachments to the physical world or unfinished business. Her unfinished business were her horrible parents! She will haunt them. Or kill them! Thus, the haunting (killing) adventures of Ghost Girl. Image drawn by Lizalot. I thought this image was a great fit as a cover.

Marked for death, Sabine escaped from her home more than ten years ago. But the Wild Hunt will never give up. It should have been easy to stay hidden.

When a charismatic stranger arrives in the city, Sabine finds herself unwittingly drawn to the power she can sense hidden within him. Keeping her distance is nearly impossible, especially after a life debt is called due and she’s tasked into helping steal a rare artifact. Sabine is the only one who can break the magical barriers protecting the item, but that means revealing the truth about her identity and exposing her darkest secrets. Unfortunately, the Fae aren’t the only ones hunting her. And the most dangerous monsters aren’t always confined to the dark.
