yknow hot take maybe we should talk more about getting abusive people professional help for their issues rather than them just being outright shunned by literally everyone
#nerd alert#thinking abt my abusive ex and how he was as much a victim as a perpetrator#also lowkey thinking abt how alec holowka killed himself like a week after being outed as an abuser and clearly had some shit goin on#idk as much abt him tbh but people dont typically just commit suicide over a scandal. or else thered be a lot of celebrities dead#its called the cycle of abuse for a reason#obvs mental illness isnt an excuse to abuse people but it is a reason it happens and it can contribute to it esp if its unmanaged#inb4 anyone calls me ableist for daring to insinuate that mental illness/trauma can make ppl Bad. im mentolly ill and an abuse survivor 💙#so dont start w me. ive seen firsthand how much that can play a role in an abusers fucked up mindset.#i watched my ex's parents gaslight him. belittle his problems or wave them off completely. scream at him for no good reason.#and then i watched him turn around and do those same things to me#and i caught the sharp ends of his moodswings whenever hed have seizures and be fucked up for days afterward#dude abused me emotionally mentally and sexually and refused to listen when i told him he seriously needed therapy#and that he needed to work on his issues with a professional instead of taking them out on me#and i hate him for it and cut him out of my life bc i dont deserve all that#but i also saw where he was coming from. and honestly anyone in his situation couldve turned out the same way. bc it was awful.#he wasnt innocent but he wasnt just like. some evil sadistic fuck who liked tormenting people.#he was abused all his life and had literal brain damage and it twisted him up into someone who couldnt manage his emotions#in healthy ways and so he coped by hurting someone who was an easy target (me#anyway. i have feelings abt this cuz i was talkijg w a friend abt it recently
