can't express how much it sucks having been traumatized for most of your life but can't talk about it so you just go casually about your day while thinking about the Horrors™

one of the things people don't understand about childhood trauma is that there's just a huge chunk of your life you can't openly talk about, at least not in a socially acceptable way that isn't offputting so it feels like an invisible illness. sometimes I talk to my partner about it but I feel bad for venting to him about it all the time and everyone else I've ever talked to about it just acts shocked and tries to change the subject and the last therapist I talked to about it said I deserved it so I just sorta gave up and keep it to myself now lol logically I know that dwelling on it, even venting about it won't change anything. I'll always be changed from what happened to me and the things I've experienced since. I guess I just want validation, to be patted on the head and told that I didn't deserve what happened and that I'm strong for fighting back and for staying alive, or something. I won't ever get justice for what happened. my abuser is still a family member and will be around my brother's children. and because my abuser gaslit me in front of him they don't believe my warnings and half my family thinks I'm insane. not to mention that they already turned my brother against me when we were kids so our relationship has always been pretty rocky. it feels like they had it all planned from the very start like some horror movie shit. and I can't do anything about it except Deal With It and it sucks! I don't wanna cope I wanna live!!!

Kaito’s mask/family situation under cut because, well, we love an unravelling of a comedic relief character, don’t we?:

Kaito’s mother is from an intensely powerful family in Australia, who’s assets lead them into connections with just about everything and everyone- their riches had people in the palm of their hands, regardless of if they were aware of it or not, however, upon his mother’s meeting with her to be husband in Japan, she forcibly cut her ties with them-  marrying her husband after seeing how differently he treated her compared to everyone else at home ( i.e blatant misogyny, pressure to take over the many businesses connected with the family, manipulation like “how many lives her choices would effect” ) and helped him build his company up from the ground. She ran everything fluidly, a true businesswoman at heart- but upon getting pregnant, her blood ran cold, after all...even if you cut the strings connecting you to her family, they’ll always know what’s happening, where you are, what you’re doing...

Meaning a grandchild was what they had been waiting for. His mother was distraught at the news, his father was too, given they both knew they’d be in for a visit soon. The visit went smoothly in his grandparents minds, they found a new successor, and well, the very opposite thought ran through his parents minds. They just doomed their child. His mother knew what she had to do, even if it hurt, she’d have to teach him to survive the harsh conditions her family would inevitably put him through, while his father will treat him with love and respect to hopefully soften the blows she’d have to give him.

So, when Kaito was born, he was raised by a loving father, and a mother who could not allow herself to love him for his own safety, no matter how much she wants to. Her teachings were that he and everyone else was expendable, that he’d have to work for his right to be at the top, or he’d be worthless and thrown away. She never showed any concern for him, she didn’t spend anytime with him outside of scolding him, demanding things of him and forcing him to comply with the image that his grandparents would expect of him. His father would tend to the child’s needs. He was made to wear a mask in school. His identity as Kamisato Kaito would be erased when he took over the Lamington family, and having his face out would make things complicated. 

A couple years later, Akio was born, and he received the childhood that Kaito never had- the unconditional love from his mother that Kaito craved, but Kaito couldn’t resent him. There were nights he wanted to, really, but he couldn’t, he loved his brother, and he’d never loved much of anything- he certainly wanted to, but he wasn’t allowed friends, he wasn’t allowed the freedom of caring before. Kaito grew protective of his brother, especially when his grandparents visited him.

Kaito wanted freedom, but he knew he could never get it, so, he demanded that Akio got it in his stead, though his brother isn’t aware of the many sacrifices his brother made to keep his freedom after his ‘weakness’ landed in their grand parents laps. He was made to do terrible things ( destroying companies from the ‘work experience’ he went through, leaving many jobless and homeless eventually, getting into the black market due to their darker connections... ) to keep his brother innocent and happy, but Akio never managed to get close to his brother, he was always so busy...so, Akio simply assumed he didn’t care for him.

Eventually, when he was old enough to choose a high school, he chose one he discovered the Lamington family had no control over. Yumenosaki Academy- the one place he can be free enough to be something other than what his bloodline decreed. Kaito knew this freedom was fleeting, and snatched up the chance, picking the normal course so no more benefit could come to his family from him during this time.

During !! He gets into law, sold on the idea of taking the family out from the inside. He just hopes he can do it...

Child abuse is a big problem, so it's important that we don't let children communicate with adults except their parents and other official authority figures. Everyone knows the best way to prevent child abuse is to keep children isolated and ensure all their communications are controlled.

#massive sarcasm quotes #current events #vagueblogging #child abuse

[teaboot]

Adult ProTip, from a security professional: If a kid tells you, "My parents are gonna kill me / kick my ass / kick me out" for something relatively minor, don't respond with shit like "Really? ;) that sounds a little extreme, don't you think sweetie?" because that shit really does happen.

Instead, respond as though whatever threat they are afraid of is fully valid, and offer whatever you can do to help- ask if they believe they are in danger of being hurt in any way, and work accordingly.

If they're overreacting, they'll usually realize and dial it back, self-correct and begin thinking a bit more rationally.

If they're not overreacting, and the danger is real, then they'll need a level-headed adult in their corner, not another condescending authority figure who doesn't believe them.

Extremely dangerous how "grooming" in the context of child sexual abuse went from being a very specific pattern of isolation and trust-building with the aim of abusing someone to "telling children anything that contradicts their parents' ultra-conservative worldview is grooming" to "selling rainbow flags in a store is grooming" to "literally anyone I don't like is a groomer".

These days the word seems to most often be used by people who don't care about what it actually means and just want an easy "this person is irredeemably evil, kill them now" button.

I documented multiple cases with @EuroMedHR of Israeli soldiers abducting blonde children from #Gaza claiming they might be abductee Israelis.

As Israeli forces are nearing my area of refuge, I just actually told my brother’s wife to dye her blonde daughter’s hair black! [@/MahaGaza on X.]

response to Maha Hussaini's report: "our families used ash to protect light-skinned children from being stolen by white settlers. In Palestine, they're dying children's hair to stop their children from being stolen. Removing children from an ethnic group to be raised by oppressors is one of the markers of genocide" [@/ 1KarenWyld on X.]

Journalist Maha Hussaini says that she has documented cases of Israeli soldiers kidnapping blonde children from Gaza claiming they might be abductee Israelis. (Illustrative photo) [@/ QudsNews on X. 01/07/24.]

I recently posted about this on my page. Thankfully a mutual of mine sent this to me. I addressed some of my perspectives about this horrifying and ongoing/developing story -which I will update here once I see Maha Hussaini or her fellow journalists sharing their documentations.

I just want to make sure that this is continues to be addressed/spoken about. This is beyond horrifying, and I hope those children are safely brought back to their families and loved ones -free from the IOF -because this is just insidious.

CW: thinking about how weird it is that my mom didn't believe I had depression and needed meds until she realized she could use me for clinical trials (for compensation.) weird how abusers don’t care about you at all and only pretend to in a way that benefits them. just really fucking weird.

#leafie speaks #I was a human guinea pig for paxil and it messed me up for YEARS #and ofc my mom wanted the money so she'd threaten me and force the pills down my throat everyday #even though it was clearly harmful and having negative effects on me like ??? #then I ran away and dropped all contact with her and she was like 'SIGH i just dont know what went wrong 😔' #personal #//abuse #//trauma #//child abuse #vent

I think one thing that's hard for people to grapple with is it's impossible to eliminate all abusive individuals from any given society. Of course certain systems encourage and make it easier to achieve, but there is no perfect world in which no one is abusive, so prevention of abuse shouldn't be punitive measures but rather creation of an environment in which abuse is hard to get away with--an environment more focused on community support than individualistic isolation of families. The fact that there are horrifying child torture cases that occurred in average suburban homes by neighbors who suspected nothing just because they haven't even talked to or acknowledged the people living right fucking next to them is crazy.

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

#watching ppl go from being like ''support neurodivergent ppl~~!" #to being like ''if this is going to give u a panic attack ur fuckken stupid'' #like..... gets me #yeah man. i know im going to be triggered by it . in the old fashioned term. it is GOING to give me a panic attack. it's pretty much certai #and i shouldn't have to tell u about what i have survived for you to be okay with that. #you can just trust that i ALSO don't want me to react to it. i'm not gonna be having a FUN time. #dismissing that bc you think it's stupid.... like is the whole problem. #these sounds are workshopped by entire teams of people to get you to pay attention and move quickly. #they arent meant to be fun and exciting. #OBVIOUSLY it's gonna set ppl off. #but yeah there's something so fuckken demeaning about ppl being like. well that trigger isn't valid bc u haven't undergone X #dude i have ptsd bc i was abused as a child. like plain and simple. the fact im 30 and afraid of the dark tells you how bad it was. #i shouldn't have to ask u for permission to be mentally ill. #the reason it's a fucking disorder and not a fucking choice is that I DO NOT CONTROL IT. #like how is it any different from when ppl are like ''oh public speaking isn't that scary'' like FOR YOU #for YOU this isn't scary. now if i could fucking eat my own amygdala...

(via Ruby Franke, Popular Parenting YouTuber, Arrested for Alleged Child Abuse)

According to Salt Lake City’s Fox 13, arresting documents describe a child climbing out of a window and running to a neighbor’s home to ask for food and water. The neighbor noticed that the child had duct tape on their wrists and ankles and called the police. Another child was found at the home the first one escaped from, which belongs to Franke’s business partner and therapist Jodi Hildebrandt.

Viewers of “8 Passengers” and investigative vloggers have flagged Franke’s concerning behavior around feeding and withholding food from her children for a long time. In one video, Franke brags about not feeding her kids breakfast until they do their chores, despite them being “literally starving.” In another, Franke explains the reasoning behind not bringing her hungry 6-year-old lunch at school, because it’s actually the kid’s responsibility to pack her own lunch. It’s all deranged.

Why do people that hate kids ever have kids? And why do they have such strong urges to share their evil with others? I guess it’s...ATTENTION and MONEY.

One can’t help but notice the unfortunate pattern of Youtubers or parenting influencers on any platform who’ve compromised their children’s wellbeing. Remember Myka Stauffer, who “rehomed” her adopted child with special needs in 2020? Or the “FamilyofFive” parents, who were convicted of child abuse in 2017 for the elaborate and cruel “pranks” they pulled on their children? The parenting choices these people made are upsetting enough, but their incessant need to capitalize off of them for content at their children’s expense is horrific.

human.

early access + nsfw on patreon

more backstory that i wrote up for patreon heh:

Simon and Tommy had a complicated relationship as brothers. 

At a young age, Simon basically wrote himself off as a lost cause, and did the best he could to make sure at least Tommy had a chance to be a functioning human being. After all, Tommy was the gentler brother, the dreamer, the one who looked like their mother (who'd walked out on them years ago to escape their father). But Tommy got bitter, got sick of the one always being protected, being babied. He lost respect for Simon, for the way he wouldn't fight back, and in a twisted way, grew closer to his father as a way to learn how to be powerful, strong. It backfired, and Tommy got wrapped up in some bad business.

Simon's kid brother died while he was deployed. He got the news in the letter, and it broke him in a big way. In the story timeline, it was years and years ago but it still hurts like hell whenever Simon thinks about him. 

#cw: child abuse #i decided to do my own take on simon's backstory for this au #it has the same broad strokes as his canon one but at this point #i feel like ive earned the right to tweak canon #at least in this au hehe #baby simon <3 <3 <3 #he tried his best #the hc is that simon is the son who looks like his dad #and tommy was the son who looks like his mum #so theres more angst when u consider the way he probably thinks of it as the wrong son persisting #simon ghost riley #tommy riley #cod mw2 #monster 141 au #giragi art

translating gaza Reposted from @hani.aburezeq from February 4, 2024

"An audio recording of her with the Red Crescent spread before her martyrdom... The grandfather of the missing child, Hind, who has been with Red Crescent teams for days, and the uncle of the child Layan Hamada, who was martyred along with 6 family members, speaks about the painful incident."

Update: Hind has been confirmed dead. As were the two men who tried to rescue her. She was only 6 years old. They were only trying to save her.
