I’ve been tearing around in my fucking nightgown, 24/7 Sylvia Plath

All of the people that could pull me back from the brink hover above me in my mind. I can see them circling around me but when I go out to reach them my hand goes straight through

In my mind you’re so close I reject the fact that you are not here with me

Would invasive questions be acceptable if they weren't accompanied by victim blaming? I ask because I ask a lot of questions and most are pretty invasive but I almost never judge or blame.

I think questions are only invasive if they are unwanted. I will happily talk about any aspect of my abuse if the person has the right attitude and are willing to really listen. So in a word, yes, I think questions about the nitty gritty aspects are fine and good, in fact. It just has to be the right time, place and coming from the right person.

one of the things i hate about being a survivor is the feeling of disrespect and humiliation. often when i try to open up to another person about my abuse it results in victim blaming and invasive questions. its hard to open up when i know thats a common reaction and its hard to not internalize some of it and feel responsible for my own abuse. it feels like very few people care and discussing abuse and bringing awareness can kind of feel like yelling into a void
