its fucked up how being unloved by a parental figure in your childhood makes you unlovable for the rest of your life

a few days ago i was told that my mom outright said she loved my siblings more than me when i was a kid. and when i confronted her about child abuse she got two cats and named them the names i wanted to name my future kids (at the time) because she thought she'd never see her grandkids or something, while also saying what happened to me was "false memories"

i want everyone with weird cruelty coming from their parents and everyone who feels like they're making up for lost formative years to know they aren't alone and there's a lot of us out there figuring it out too alongside you. you've always deserved love, i pinky promise

i think when representing trauma and PTSD in media we should explore hallucinations more. not the ones where they imagine talking to the person of their trauma because usually that’s written unrealistically but for example:

auditory hallucinations like small sounds, voices that both seem unreal and real, etc. but also tactile ones. touches, skin crawling, all that crap. the feeling of someone being right there in the room with you is also something that i’d like to see represented more because it can be written sooo well. and last but not least the classic flashes compared to the constant hallucinations. the flash of a shadow or a figure or a face that’s gone before you can truly grasp it ykwim

Things don't have to be perfect for them to be good...

You don't have to be perfect in order to be good.

made a meme for anyone else out there who gets stuck in the "it wasnt that bad!" or "maybe im not traumatized!" loops because trauma denial sucks ass!!! you all are valid!!!
