#child of an alcoholic mother

[skarkkk]

It was fucking rape. That's my fucking point of view.

What do you mean he liked it? What do you mean it was cheating? What do you mean I like her?

It was rape, there is no other interpretation other than rape.

Robby lived with two addicts and yet he was abandoned in a bar with free access to alcohol, and that's where it started.

He got drunk for the first time, he drank for the first time and he has no resistance to alcohol because he stays away as best he can for the simple fact that his parents were addicts who never cared about him. So he wanted to forget what was happening, to repress all of this and he turned to alcohol because where else would he go when everyone didn't give a damn about him, or his situation with Tory or his emotions? Where else was he supposed to go when his example of dealing with emotions is aggression and addiction? So he drank. He drank to a level where he couldn't formulate a response, a sentence, when Kwon came to talk to him and provoke him, and we know that if he was sober he would have done something. It was obvious on his own face listening to Kwon that he was spaced out, drunk, and then Zara approached him. And took him to her room, from where he came out the next morning. No memory of the night before, a headache, and still looking out of it, as we can see when she kissed him and he didn't even react to it. The level of alcohol this requires is the level of alcohol that prevents someone from giving consent.

— I barely remember last night

— Good thing I do

Can we see the exact connotation that something happened? That she actually took advantage of the boy who couldn't speak to give consent, who couldn't think to say no, who was too drunk for this to be acceptable? The fact that she shows no remorse whatsoever for this happening and yet kisses him again.

Besides the fact that the writers themselves are treating it like it's some kind of cheating with Tory, the characters themselves acting like he's not a vulnerable person being raped by someone who knows better?

I hate her and I hate the writers for making this like it's nothing. I don't want to be that girl, but being that girl, if the roles were reversed, would this be in the show? Would this be treated that way? Or would they actually treat it like the SA situation that it is?

From the beginning, you can see her interest in Robby - starting with that scene in the captains' photo shoot where she talks to Tory. She knows he's in a relationship. All those teasing scenes with Tory. Her taking advantage of Robby. Then the fight scene.

— You chose her over me?

Like, girl, what the fuck did you expect? He doesn't know you, he doesn't like you, you raped him and you're going after his girlfriend - the person he loves? How high is your ego to even consider that he would choose you? Axel's obsession with Sam I can understand more, although I still have my doubts. She was the first person to understand and see his situation with his sensei, she was friendly and he developed a protectiveness towards her. Although his attitude towards Miguel was wrong, he didn't rape Sam or act like a bitch towards her.

Iron Dragons and their obsession with the Miyagi-Do captains.

Zara Malik and the fact that she raped Robby Keene.

it's so hilarious how a large chunk of the homestuck fandom actually and genuinely believes everything rose lalonde says about herself and her life. she would be so happy. You think I'm cool, calm, and put together? You think I'm a reliable therapist for my friends? Tell me more.

I will laugh so hard if it turns out that John is making a sincere effort at being a decent parent and it's such an awful outcome for Gideon that I feel like it's plausible. He's giving off such man who thinks of himself as a good guy confronted with oops baby vibes.

Tell me you know what you did. I don't need you to say you're sorry, I don't want the apology you don't mean. I just want your acknowledgment.

I want you to take accountability for it. I want you to look me in the eye, Mom, and tell me you understand the ways you failed both for your children.

I don't need an apology. Don't tell me you're sorry, I'm tired of hearing you repeat words you do not mean. Just look at me and tell me you know what you've done and didn't care.

Tell me you knew what you were doing but did it anyway.

I will love myself because I deserve to be loved.

I will love myself because I'm sick and tired of waiting for someone to come and love me first.

I will love myself because I'm sick and tired of being betrayed by those whom I gave my love to.

I will love myself because my egg donor always called me a "fat pig" in the middle of the Chili's restaurant.

I will love myself because nobody ever bothered to protect me or even stand up for me while I was being abused.

I will love myself because 14-15 New Year's Eves ago, she got drunk from too much champagne and literally blamed me for everything.

I will love myself because she forced me into those gluten-free and dairy-free diets on me against my will and successfully instilled eating disorders into me in her process when I was in the middle of my fourth grade year until my seventh/eighth grade year.

I will love myself because I lost my mind to gaslighting and I know the reality.

I will love myself because I deserved so much better than whatever she gave me.

I will love myself because she taught me nothing about self-love nor self-care; all she ever taught me instead was how to hate myself.

I will love myself because I'm sick to death of hating myself just because she said so.

I don't think the show focused on the right person when it comes to trauma. Ted's not traumatized , not really. He's not a victim. Beard and Jamie are.

…..Ted is very much traumatized. his dad committed suicide while he was in the house

Something about making your mother cry that makes you think you need to go to jail

[pyramidofmice]

only character in Barry I care about anymore is John. And maybe Hank. Everyone else is mean to their children.

I'm tired of these people I'm tired of having them on my screen

do you think of me, mom, in the middle of the night, when you can't sleep. or have you gotten used to life without me?

when you are out on a walk, and you see a mother with her daughter, do you remember that you have one?

do you regret all the time that's passed and wish you could go back?

in the middle of the night, when you can't sleep.

do you think of me, mom?
