Pro tip: if you've always related to csa victims and kinda had this nagging feeling at the back of your mind that maybe you're not remembering something bad—there might be a reason for that! And boy, it can hit you like a truck at the least expected time

“Protecting children” from any information outside their parents’ direct control is not an effective way to “protect children” in a world where 68% of sexual abuse is committed by a family member, and over 90% by someone the child and family know. In fact, it gives perpetrators more power to isolate their victim from any information that could help them disclose and safe people they could disclose to. And that’s not new information, we have known the exclusively “stranger danger” approach to sexual abuse and exploitation isn’t based on facts for decades now. We know a lack of information doesn’t protect anyone, in fact ignorance is a perpetrator’s favorite trait. Conservatives know that too. Truly, they see children as property not people and think parents have a right to abuse their own children. They want to “protect” their ownership of their children, not protect this extremely vulnerable group of people from harm.

Friendly reminder that you can talk to your brain like a beloved innocent little kid and it works probably better than you’d expect

“Wow this is pretty rough huh…let’s think of some good things instead! What are some things we’re looking forward to?”

“I have an idea, lets pretend we’re in slow-motion, even our breathing and blinking is slooowwww”

“Quick I need your help it’s really super important! Tell me every single [color/animal/etc] you can possibly think of”

“Hey buddy, do you maybe want your favorite snack? I bet you’re pretty tired huh…how about we have a little nap/go to bed early tonight”

Doesn’t always have to be for handling negative stuff either in fact doing it in neutral-positive situations will help you remember it’s even an option in times of distress. And in general it’s just very healing, promotes self-worth, etc.

i used to think i was dead. like the real me died when i was 4 and im just the leftover scraps of that little girl who died. like i'm a corpse that's sewn itself back together. like every my whole life has been as a direct result of violence

sometimes i still feel that. i mourn the little girl i was, and i mourn the woman she could've become if she hadn't become me. i mourn the life he stole from me

For survivors of CSA specifically: I don’t give a damn how “outlandish” or “unbelievable” your experience was. Abusers know damn well what they are doing and will purposefully add weird shit to mess with your head and muddy the waters.

If it was someone who “loved you and could never” I believe you.

If it was deemed to be “too out there” I believe you

If you were in a cult where that was “normal” I believe you

If it was a one time event from a stranger I believe you

If it was a woman who hurt you I believe you

If you’re a guy who gets told that you “should have fought” or “must have wanted it” I believe you

No child deserves this kind of pain, no adult should have to bury that hurt inner child.

"Why didn't you tell anyone" Well actually I didn't understand what was happening as a child with no knowledge of even sex for procreation much less sex acts outside of piv and also I repressed it as soon as possible so. What do you want from me

[redwiccanrobin]

“You’re so funny.”

Thanks, I was abused growing up and everyone knew it but didn’t care enough to help. In fact, they labeled me a spoiled brat because my abuser would have moments where he felt guilty and would buy me things. That was the thing they chose to hyper focus on to alleviate the guilt for turning a blind eye.

to all the victims of csa who have never told anyone. to all the victims of csa who don't remember, clearly or at all. to all the victims of csa who struggle with understanding if it was "bad enough". to all the victims of child on child sa. to all the victims of csa who are still repulsed to sex or even to all physical touch. to all the victims of csa who don't wish to "overcome" their repulsion to sex or physical touch. to all the victims of csa who freeze, who dissociate, who cry and rage easily. i love you i love you i love you. they don't know you. you know you. trust yourself. trust your body. you decide what to do with what happened. you decide how you feel. keep going
