its kinda cathartic to have moved back into my abusive parents house after having been out of it for so long (almost a whole year i believe, i moved back out of necessity), which sounds weird to say but hear me out.

even though my stepdad is still abusing me and my mom is continuing to enable it, i finally am able to recognize the cycle of abuse they've been putting me through nearly to a T. i have the words to describe whats happening to me. im able to see events that have happened in the past, even ones that are happening now, and im able to point out the bits and details of them and reflect. and while that doesn't make it perfect, i am still being abused obviously, it makes it feel almost better because i now know what i have to do in order to keep myself safe.

i'll go into more detail of this under the cut but it's going to have mentions of specific instances of abuse i have faced. i figured if reading my reflection on how i've been abused could help anyone, that it will find the people it'll help. please keep yourself safe and heed the trigger warning.

tw: emotional abuse mention (detailed), cycle of abuse talk (identifying the stages in a specific instance of abuse)

my stepdad emotionally abuses me. kinda obvious, i already stated that. my mom enables this abuse by turning a complete blind eye and denying it entirely, which in it of itself isn't specifically abuse but silence is violence. the fact that she allows my stepdad to do the things he does to me and she simply takes a passive role ("i wasn't there so i don't know what happened", "im not picking sides", "im not getting involved" etc etc.) means that she is also actively abusing me. that doesn't even mention the extreme amounts of gaslighting she uses against me to try to invalidate the experiences i have had at my stepdads hands.

yesterday brought all this to light for me because of a specific incident. i had been on the phone with my boyfriend, preparing to clean my "room" (a sectioned off area in our basement) when he had come downstairs to do laundry. as i was getting up to clean, my stepdad started speaking to me and said "after i get the dog poop, you're going to come help me and the boys (my brothers) pick up sticks." i replied, "no im not, im about to clean my room." he began to get agitated very quickly, and because i've experienced years of treatment similar to this i was also extremely agitated.

quick piece of context, my parents have kicked me out multiple times for long periods of time. every time i had been kicked out and came back, they basically denied having kicked out at all and tried to make it seem like i had left of my own accord. this is gaslighting. i just moved back into their house after about half a year of living in a group home and with my moms father and then my moms mother, all three of the places i stayed this time i believe caused me more problems than i had before. in total, being kicked out repeatedly by my parents has caused me noticeable trauma relating to my living situation. the fear of being kicked out follows me no matter where i go and live.

the next sentence my stepdad said during the sticks argument was, "it's things like this that'll get you living like you were before." while thats not a direct threat at my living situation, it is still a threat to kick me out. the statement directly implied that my not helping was going to result in kicking me out. i held it together until he had gotten upstairs again and i immediately burst into tears and started settling into a panic attack.

i texted my mom and asked her to come talk to me about something because i was in so much distress and had become so unregulated that i needed to ask for help. she got downstairs and through tears i explained to her what happened, the first thing she said was "why is your room so messy? i've been telling you to clean for three days." she then proceeded to say she would talk to him about it and went upstairs, and that was expected to be the end of it for her. i had the worst panic attack i've had in years after i was alone and on the phone with my boyfriend, he ended up providing the emotional compassion i needed in that moment. after i had calmed down from the brunt of the panic attack, i went upstairs to talk to my mom about the event. the only thing she said about it was, "stepdad didn't threaten to kick you out." she brushed it off completely, not even listening to me and physically walking away from me a few times. later that night, everything was "fine" between my stepdad and i and he tried showing me some funny videos on his phone. when i went inside from the attempted talking to my mom, i boiled over. i screamed something or the other, hit a wall, went downstairs, and then continued to kick the wall while yelling.

in this incident, i can point out the four cycles of abuse very easily. tensions building - he told me to help pick up sticks and i tried to explain i was about to do something else. incident - he threatens to kick me out and my mom enables it. reconciliation - mom telling me it wasn't as bad as i had perceived ("he didnt threaten to kick you out"). calm - everything is back to normal.

because of the years of abuse i have faced similar to this, i do something called reactive abuse. reactive abuse is when the victim of abuse gets pushed to a breaking point and they lash out during incidents of abuse, the abuser then uses this as leverage to say that the victim is actually the abuser. its a vicious and painful cycle, one that my parents have been putting me through for my entire life. if you get abused in a similar way and react similarly to me, i want you to know that you are not abusive. being pushed to such an unregulated state where you lash out is a sign of abuse being committed against you. its not your fault.

while this post didn't really have a solid point and was mostly me reflecting on my personal situation, i really hope someone gets something out of this. whether that be courage to label what their going through as abuse or the ability to think critically about their situation and start identifying their cycle of abuse. i hope anyone that has reached this point takes care of themselves, maybe do a couple acts of self care.

be kind to yourself.

It's my birthday!! In celebration, here's my ART VS ARTIST 2023, as well as the one's from previous years. :3c I've drawn some absolutely wicked panel layouts this year, and other art too! B)

I think a lot about the reasons why I draw the things I do and why I do what I do with my art. Most of the reasons elude me, or at least elude speech. But, I know the truth is that I draw for myself, and then (and yet!), I hope people outside of me might see it too. Thank you for supporting me; it's good to share my art with you!

The Week Ahead: June 26 - July 2, 2023

Lunar Phases

Monday, June 26, 07:50 UT - First Quarter Moon, 4°29’ Libra

The key phrases for the First Quarter lunar phase are to “take action” and to “build new structures” to support our intentions. Not at all a comfortable situation for Libra, which vastly prefers to re-act. We can either team up with a partner, or act specifically in reaction to something we see as imbalanced.

Friday, June 30, 02:55 UT - Gibbous Moon, 23°06’ Scorpio

The key phrases for the Gibbous lunar phase are to “tweak and adjust” our plans as needed, and to “pour more energy/effort” into our intention(s). Lots of potential for willfulness now; we really may need to take a step or two back and face things dispassionately.

Monday, July 3, 11:39 UT - Full Moon, 11°19’ Capricorn

The key phrases for the Full lunar phase are “culminate, illumine, fulfill” and to “pour all your energies and efforts into your intention(s).” Helped out by Jupiter/Taurus (which wants us to expand and enrich our lives by keeping life simple), some practical and realistic perspective can be gained. We’re looking for more conservative solutions.

Void of Course Moon

Wednesday, June 28, 08:19 UT (Libra) - 08:55 UT (Scorpio)

Friday, June 30, 14:20 UT (Scorpio) - 14:59 UT (Sagittarius)

Sunday, July 2, 13:33 UT (Sagittarius) - 17:20 UT (Capricorn)

Retrograde/Direct/Etc.

Pre-retrograde shadow: Venus/Leo, Jupiter/Taurus

Retrograde: Saturn/Pisces, Neptune/Pisces (starting June 30), Pluto/Capricorn

Post-retrograde shadow: Ceres/Libra

Transiting Neptune stations retrograde on Friday, June 30, 21:07 UT, at 27°41’ Pisces. It’s now time to go inward with our spiritual journeys, and re-evaluate our guiding visions.

Ingress

Tuesday, June 27, 00:24 UT - transiting Mercury enters Cancer

Only two weeks of Mercury in this sign. Emotions color all our thought processes, these moods coming and going before we can make any sense out of them.

Et Cetera

There is one Opportunity Period this week: Friday, June 30, 06:05 UT - 14:20 UT. “Available for getting things done the way you want.”

Another relatively quiet week, thank Heaven. The older I get, the better I like them.

The only really major event happens over Friday and Saturday, when the Sun and Mercury have their Superior conjunction. This marks the halfway point of their cycle together; Mercury will enter its next retrograde zone, on August 3. (Just in time for back to school, ugh.) I’ll have more to say about it, later in the week….
