The way you hold me with your arms is putting the lost pieces of my soul back together.

People will say that they’re all about respecting sa survivors until it comes to victims of incest. Will expand later.

Overall I’ve found that people, most likely subconsciously, don’t think that incest can be traumatic. When I told my therapist that I was sexually abused she was so supportive. She told me that it wasn’t my fault. That what happened doesn’t define me. That I can always tell her about this stuff without fear of judgment or rejection. That whatever happened, my trauma is valid. Then I told her that it was from someone in my family, and her tone switched immediately. All of a sudden it couldn’t have actually been that bad. What I was describing most be an overexaggeration. “It’s normal for families to show their love in different ways,” she said. “There most have been a miscommunication.” She didn’t listen to me anymore. I told her the worst of what happened in graphic detail, but none of that mattered. We were related. There’s no way that actually happened. And this is far from an isolated incident. I got blocked by one of my favorite cosplayers, one that was vocal about protecting minors and respecting triggers, for saying that incest survivors getting triggered by the twins, even if they are supposed to be satire or an act, is s valid reason to not watch ohshc. Both online and irl, people who vocally opposed to joking about sexual abuse would make incest jokes and even joke about my experiences explicitly. There’s a widespread belief in our society that incest is funny or not a real issue. And most activists not only refuse to acknowledge that this is an issue, but get upset when you try to educate them on it. This belief keeps getting spread, and it actively keeps us from being believed, from getting treatment, from getting justice. This belief keeps us silent and lets our abusers go free.

If you aren’t an incest survivor you are legally obligated to reblog this

God I’m so close to taking this post down. I’m convinced it’s done nothing to raise awareness or change anyone’s mind on anything. I talked about my deepest trauma on here and you know what I get? I get sent porn and gore in dms. I get death threats. I get people telling me how actually my abuse can be consensual. And does it make a difference? No. 90% of the people in the notes miss the point completely and either focus on my therapist or the last line. The last line is a figure of speech. I just wanted people to spread this. It wasn’t meant seriously. I’m sorry if I hurt anyone with it but please. Please just stop. I just wanted to change maybe one person’s view of incest survivors. Please just stop.
