LET THESE WORDS BE YOUR SALVE TODAY, YOUR REMINDER OF WORTHINESS, YOUR HOPE
If someone no matter who they are, even parents, professors or medical professionals is making you feel less than about yourself they are nothing and no one, not someone worthy of respect, not someone of status, not someone worth listening to.
If they are using their power or position to bully or belittle you they are the very lowest of the low. I hope you know that you can turn them down or walk away and that their arrogance and ignorance, their aggression and intolerance is a sickness of the soul.
And you deserve better.
This is for the people who are stuck in these circumstances, whose legal matters lie in the hands of abusers, whose degrees are on the other side of s*xually assaulting scumbags, whose self esteem is hanging on the thread of insults of those that brought them into the world.
You are worthy, you are capable, you aren't crazy and we will DO BETTER at calling this out and speaking about it when it happens to us, so we can better support you and encourage you.
Our silence is our complicity. If we see something we will say something.
If we are struggling, we will talk about it.
If you've been looking for a sign to get out of there, this is it.
We are not going to be doing this anymore.
Their actions as abusers are coming for them. We won't deliver the blows only the domino tipping that will start an avalanche.
