#therapy is not a magic fix and is not accessible for everyone 24/7

CW: Very angry ranting with a lot of caps. I'm very emotional writing this ok

if we're being ranty and emotional today i guess ill take my turn...hot take but i HATE HATE HAAATE when people are like "it is always horrible to restrain/lock up/hold back your persecutors >:(" because LISTEN. We KNOW they're hurting, WE DEAL WITH THE FUCKING CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR PAIN. And we want to help them heal and get better and shit but IF THAT INVOLVES KEEPING THEM LOCKED OUT OF THE FRONT SO WE DON'T END UP GETTING HURT OR KILLED, I DON'T FUCKING THINK THAT MAKES ME A SHITTY PERSON.

If your SAFEST way of handling a persecutor involves you keeping them out of the front for a while, you are not automatically a shitty person.

This is NOT referring to keeping persecutors from feeling their feelings, this is referring to letting persecutors deal with their emotions and pain WHILE ALSO KEEPING THE SYSTEM SAFE.
