Saturday Six (Stuff)
Oopsie, forgot to post last week, because I was busy with work. But I'm taking every other weekend off for self care, even though I've got so much to do still. Here's what I'm working on. (•̀⌄•́)
My therapist says I'm making improvements. Meh, idk about that. I think it's more I'm just tired of reacting to my dad all the time. Though I'm still bloody angry as hell that it's up to me to do all the work to change.( •̀ω•́ )σ
It's only been two weeks and I'm sick of this snow and freezing cold. Mother Nature didn't even ease us into it, like usual. It just came out of nowhere.(*`へ´*)
Even though I'm still hurting, I'm grateful to have a great physical therapist who really is trying to help me.(❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*
I'm really grateful to have returning customers who are willing to give me another opportunity to work with them, even if I might have made a mistake (it's been a few years since I made a lady's item, and she's just now coming back to me, to have me fix it, oopsie! She's a sweetheart!)(*´▽`*)
My adopted orange boy, Boots, is really becoming the lover kitteh. He loves the pets and rubs, though he still has some feral issues to work out. (=^-ω-^=)

Hi! Regarding your reblogged personal post on abuse and system accountability, we wanted to reach out to say that we personally don’t see anything wrong with being cold, dismissive, or even lashing out at your abuser. While it might make you seem like an asshole to those who don’t know about what you went through, that doesn’t change the fact that you were abused. No victim should ever be forced or expected to treat their abuser with kindness and respect, especially if their abuser still behaves poorly or hasn’t taken ownership of their past actions.
You don’t owe your abuser an apology. You don’t owe him feelings of remorse, either. Outsiders aren’t aware of the full story, and that may lead them to the wrong conclusions, but that is in no way your fault.
So sorry if this ask is invasive or unwanted. We just want to let you know that we’re in your corner, we understand what you’re feeling, and we’re wishing you peace, respite, and comfort! Hopefully better system accountability will come with time and practice, but in this particular instance, we don’t think any member of your system has behaved rashly or in a way that’s unjustified!
thank u i really needed to hear this. i feel like in general you might be right but yeah its complicated . more abt it below sorta if any1 is interested
our abuser does recognize what he does to us to some extent? but doesnt stop and keeps... trying??
we had more level-headed protectors near the beginning but This One Fella's anger just grows and grows with every betrayal. it is also (primarily) a prosecutor though and another problem with it, is it turns it's anger onto us as well during these times. i, myself, do not remember the specifics of what it says to our abuser, but our abuser describes her as having no limits and suddenly cutting deep. i do know that whatever she says can be very personal, and she is very mean-spirited. this is mostly the behavior we're unproud of - not just lashing out in anger, but throwing personal specific insults or using sensitive personal information against abuser. it's justified i guess, but still doesnt fully feel right. it feels relieving, but it's still Bad Coping
now that im typing this... maybe our hosts just need to become more comfortable sitting in anger in general. i feel like im describing a feeling of, all of my anger is unjustified and i should just Not Be Angry, and maybe thats just not fair to us? i dont know. it still doesnt feel right to use personal attacks, even if it feels good
it is a complicated situation and idk if there is a correct answer or not. im trying to figure it out. i know my words could never do even close to the damage he has done to me but hhhhh Hurt People Is Bad !!!!!! it is not good it sux !!!
