Ugh. I hate that this is still circulating. That’s Tigger and Roo, they belong to a woman from the US, not that random guy. Tigger (left) actually died recently so this sucks even more. 😢 Anyway, you can all follow Roo here.
Mod Viv, I think you might like this. The title of the animation is 'Catsing Call'. It's basically an animated interview for cats who wanna become stars! It's pretty cute :D
OH my god, I loved that!!! Richard was the best cat EVER. And the floofy one with the assistant reminded me of my cat Julia! 😂
Before I say anything else, I want to state that I forgive you. I forgive everything that happened. You were young, and whilst this isn’t an excuse, we all make mistakes. No human is perfect, and I understand why you might have felt you could get away with it. What you did was abhorrent, and whilst I do think you were old enough to know better, life is confusing at that age, pretty much all the way until adulthood.
So, in short, I do forgive you.
What I can’t forgive is the aftermath. I can’t forgive the way I was treated by people who I thought loved and cared about me, as a direct result of your lies. I can’t forgive the fact that to this day, I am incredibly confused about sex, and what is and isn’t acceptable. Every new relationship comes with a hefty bag of trauma because I’m so nervous about being touched.
Consent is confusing. No means no, of course, but what confuses me is the fact that there will be people out there- like myself- who accept their circumstances, grinning and bearing their experience, out of guilt and manipulation. That scares me, because I then start to question – am I doing that to someone else? Am I forcing people?
You really brought out the true colours of our family. Perhaps I should thank you for that. I saw a whole new side to our auntie, and it’s something I think about so often. The level of betrayal. For every compassionate and gentle word spoken, I’m always left wondering if she truly means it. After all, she not only took your side entirely but made it clear that her 10-year-old niece made her too uncomfortable to be around.
All my life, I’ve constantly been reminded that you suffered too. That you felt so shaken and terrified by the whole situation. But did you? Did you really? Because the last time I checked, you had a house, a girlfriend, a dog and a god damn singing career in which the majority of our shitty town worship you. All I’m saying is that from where I’m standing, it doesn’t particularly seem like you’ve done all that much suffering.
I hate this. I hate that I constantly look like I’m playing the victim. I look like a bitter idiot who can’t physically let go of her past. It’s pathetic, really. But the truth of the matter is, the trauma is still right there, fresh as the day it all began. I’m actually sat here writing this because I wanted to watch a movie that I love, but I can’t. Why? Because the main actor vaguely reminds me of you, and just seeing his face gave me nightmares for two consecutive nights. All because I’m that frightened of you.
I’ve had to consider changing my last name because of you. The trail of destruction that you have left behind is immeasurable. If you could have just told the truth all the way back then, maybe this wouldn’t be happening. Maybe we’d even be friends now. Do you even remember how close we were? You were my best friend.
A part of me forgives you for not telling the truth. Your mum isn’t exactly the loving, accepting kind. And you were only a child yourself, of course.
But why couldn’t you have told the truth in later years? Does your girlfriend know? So many unanswered questions.
How can I ever get closure? How can I ever move on? You robbed me of my innocence. You violated me.
sry if i made u uncomfortable w/ the soulmate question mod viv. i just got so excited that our beloved mod nearly found a soulmate and i just spewed out all my questions, i didnt realize that it may be painful for u to talk about
Oh my goodness, you absolutely didn’t at all darling! It wasn’t painful in the slightest. It’s a very very old situation. A long healed up wound that is nothing but a scar now! Ask anything you like sweetheart! 😘💖
