Being a system is:

“Hey homie, you seem a bit off today. You good?”

Me who’s been dissociating/feeling disconnected from myself all day: “oh yeah man I’m good.”

Quick reminder for the boomers out there, if you thought your parents were mostly wrong or disagreed with them, or resented them, but didn't say it to their faces... That's not respect. That's fear. Respecting someone means you genuinely think highly of them, not that you pretend you do just to stay on their good side. Kids today who speak out against their parents either on social media or to their faces are just being more genuine than you were, the levels of respect are the same

abused kids culture is being startled by basic human decency

A child: developes a mental illness, struggles with school, tries to seek help

Parents: How can you do this to me? You know how this makes me feel? Stop being so dramatic! Other kids have it way worse! How can you embarrass me like that??!!

A child, now adult: Still mentally ill, but has now learned to never open up

Parents: Hey sweetie 🥺 if there's anything going on 🥺🥺 you can open up to us!!! We're FaMiLy 🥺🥺💕💕💕

do you ever get scared that you’re unintentionally toxic or draining to be around, like you’re the bad guy

just because I stop talking about it doesn’t mean I’m okay, just got tired of feeling like a burden

thinking that what happened “wasn’t bad enough” is a sign that it was.

your brain wouldn’t be trying to protect itself from the reality of what happened if what happened didn’t hurt you.

questioning if your trauma “counts” as trauma is a sign of trauma.

“what happened to you made you stronger” 

i was a child. i didn’t need to be strong i needed to be safe
