Your abuser’s past trauma and mental health problems do not excuse their treatment of you. The validity of both your experiences are not mutually exclusive. Abuse doesn’t take place inside a vacuum, and the shit they went through/are going through does not minimize the pain they’ve caused you.

How to Build Emotional Resilience

1. Talk to someone: Sharing how we feel helps to reduce the inner tension (but make sure it is someone who cares about your feelings).

2. Work on improving your self-esteem: Self-esteem is the way you see and feel about yourself … and there are lots of lots of things that undermine our self esteem. For example, experiencing a break up, putting on unwanted weight, doing badly on a test or being excluded by our friends. It’s important that we keep on working on our self-esteem by treating ourselves well and noticing when we succeed (instead of noticing the negatives).

3. Manage your stress levels: If we’re always feelings stressed then it’s hard to cope with life. We tend to over react and have a negative mind set … which drains us of our energy and saps our will to fight. So take a look at your lifestyle and see what you can drop. You may be doing too much, and don’t have time to relax.

4. Make the time and effort to enjoy yourself: Doing things that we enjoy helps to improve the way we feel. So build in little things like having coffee with a friend, or going to a game, or taking time to watch some sports.

5. Choose a healthy life style: Pay attention to your diet and how much you exercise; try to limit alcohol, and don’t deprive yourself of sleep.

6. Develop good relationships: Do your friends make you happy? Do you enjoy their company? Are they kind of people with your best interests at heart? Do they treat you with respect and help to boost your self-esteem? If not, then work on finding new relationships!

I think a lot about the women who created work that defined American literature and then had that work credited to the men they loved. Anais Nin wrote and rewrote whole sections of Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller. Scott Fitzgerald cannibalized Zelda’s life and writing for his own books. We have an obligation to create and tell our stories to vindicate the women who were cast as the muse when they should have been the creator. We can’t just be the wife of the artist, we have to be the artist

“You helped a woman give birth and saved her and her baby, 

you gave me an arm and leg so I could stand up again.

Your hands aren’t made for killing people, 

they are for helping them”

this whole ordeal where the university of chicago is now sending out letters to new students warning them that the school won’t be providing safe spaces or trigger warnings is so indicative of the fact that people don’t know what safe spaces and trigger warnings are supposed to be lmao

they’re not meant to “coddle” people or “shield them from ideas that conflict with their own” and they’re not meant to prevent freedom of speech and exchanges of ideas

safe spaces and trigger warnings are intended to help people cope with trauma. they’re not even necessarily intended to mean “hey, this class/presentation includes x subject, so you should steer clear” but more “this is a warning that this might contain subjects that make you uncomfortable and/or anxious, so this is an opportunity to prepare yourself and not be blind-sided by it”

denying students access to safe spaces and trigger warnings in the name of a free exchange of ideas is such bullshit and sounds more like a cover for the fact that u chicago doesn’t care about taking very easy steps to ensure all students are prepared and safe in their learning environment so they can learn as much as possible and do their best work
