It’s confusing when a family member is your abuser. There’s a need to mourn their loss, but you don’t want to mourn them after what they did.

Flashbacks never come when I’m chilling in my room and could handle them, they always come when I’m in class or talking to friends. It’s almost like my ptsd doesn’t care about me

Treat your inner child sometimes. They didn’t get to have a happy childhood.

Abusers be like, “that didn’t happen! And if it did, you loved it!”

It’s okay to not talk about it. It’s okay to talk about it. What isn’t okay is telling others what their healing journey is supposed to be.

You’re not alone. Everyone responds to trauma differently, but you’re not alone. There’s nothing wrong with coping as best you can.

It’s weird to miss who you were before the trauma when there was no you before the trauma.

Hello, my name is Mer. My pronouns are they/she. I am 20 years old.

I am a survivor of abuse. I want to heal, and I want to help others heal if possible. That’s why I’m here. I want to find community because I don’t have it irl.

I hope you are all well. I hope to get to know you. I hope we all get through this journey of healing together. All journeys are different, but we are all capable of healing. Have hope, friends.

You do not have to find a way to see your abuse in a positive light.

You don’t need to be inspiring to others or see the silver lining. You don’t need to be “stronger for it”.

You’re allowed to have bad feelings about it and acknowledge that it’s terrible and should never have happened.

You deserved to be safe and I’m so sorry you weren’t. You deserved better.
