Was doing so good holding it together today but now that I’m laying down and trying to sleep I’m tearing up and I can feel that I’m about to burst into tears any second now

[roachemoji]

the day others decided I was an adult was the day they just stopped explaining things to me and never understood why I struggled so much and didn't do what they asked of me and asking for clarification was like an affront to God himself

Sometimes I still think about how sweet it was when that anon checked on me last year when I was posting overly dark jokes. Thank you whoever you were, that was kind

Smiled and cried like an idiot all the way to the bookstore :) Feeling good

I think about the cycle of abuse all the time

It really is so Illuminating learning about your grandparents at some point and going 'ooooh so that's why'

And I wish it was as simple as people say with 'braking the cycle of abuse' because it's just like you said

It's incremental change over a long period of time and we will not live to see it fully broken but hope to do better

Anyway I fucking hate family structures

once i was old enough for my parents to start talking to me about how they were raised, a lot of things really really clicked into place. even if my parents are better than their parents, there really were times where i was like "oh my god you sound just like your parent" or something similar. and it was very eye opening to why my parents are the way they are.

and even if they were able to work through some of their problems from how they were raised, even if they aren't as bad, they still inflicted a lot of trauma onto their kids!! they were still greatly impacted by their upbringing, it stuck with them, and now their kids need therapy. it's important to take the steps to "break the cycle of abuse" but it absolutely is not as simple as just breaking it.

i've been talking to my girlfriend a lot recently about my childhood and a lot of things have been coming up that have made me really evaluate. why i am the way i am. and what things i really lack in my life. so i think about my parents a lot. to be in a family is a burden. and i will carry that burden with me forever!

bashing my skull in

[snowfea]

Before my parents left for three years, leaving me alone in France when I had just turned eighteen, I felt like they didn't listen to me, didn't really understand when I told them I was in pain (which, also, if the pain was there before they left, that is chronic pain indeed).

Tonight my mom cleaned my kitchen for me, because at lunch I told her I wanted to do it, needed to do it, but physically couldn't, as my hands, back, legs, and everything, were acting up.

She just started doing it without saying a word, just asking if I had more dishsoap.

Um. Day ruined :D

[lilcutiebear]

As a lady who grew up in a household that only had ladies in it there is a specific conversation I tend to encounter that goes something like this:

Them: 'Hey, lilcutiebear, you grew up with no men in the house so you probably aren't aware of *sexist bullshit that they 100% subscribe to*'

(Me who has in fact seen sitcoms and other ppl's nuclear families): 'mhm, I know about that I just don't believe it so I'm not going to do it.'

Like I have no idea why people assume that I am ignorant of sexist social norms. My mom didn't keep me locked up in the basement, I have in fact still encountered these shitty ideas...
