❝I know. It's all wrong. By rights, we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and the sun will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, but they didn't. Because they were holding onto something. That there's some good in this world - and it's worth fighting for.❞

Having abusive parents, you learn to only care about things in secret. Liking things openly becomes unsafe, because your parents notice, and it’s the first thing they’ll take away from you the second they need to blackmail you. After a while it only feels safe to not care about anything, to not want anything, and to not be attached to anything, because then it can’t be used against you, they can’t use it against you. You have to be apathetic if you don’t want to be openly vulnerable to abuse. Eventually you learn to hide everything from everyone. Even your friends don’t find out about it. Every pleasure feels like guilty pleasure, like you’ll pay for it later. Your entire life becomes a secret that feels too dangerous to tell anyone.

If your child’s worst fear is disappointing you, facing your anger, or not living up to your expectations, then you have failed as a parent.

“can’t you take a joke” doesn’t mean anything other than “i insulted you on purpose and now i will attack you on top of it”

[furiousgoldfish]

Every time you think “they could have hurt me worse”, remember that you shouldn’t have been hurt at all. You should have received support and help on everything you struggled with. You should never have faced pain from the hands of your loved ones. You should have been safe and happy and without a care in the world as a child. That’s what you compare your abuse to.

You either hate Nazis or you’re on their side it’s easy as that you can’t be morally grey on this

[illgrowtobeastallasthegiant]

You can’t even say something like “I’m not into politics” or even the #woke version “I’m not educated enough on this matter to have a side” or something because even children know Nazis Are, like, Bad
