April is sexual assault awareness month & my friend telling me that maybe me cutting off my abuser was good for BOTH of us bc he’s getting into shape?? & for some reason I should be happy for him bc she sees him at the gym & he’s looking real good these days... #WhyIDidntReport

I got the ‘well u never told me that’ & then reprimanded for lashing out bc it felt like it was directed at them when in reality no I’m triggered that I finally open up to u & I’m met with questions / excuses when u out of all people know the toxic things he’s done besides that.?

Is it really that far fetched to believe this could’ve happened? My whole life I’ve had to defend myself w details I don’t even feel comfy sharing & I guess for once.. just once I would like to be believed off that bat? I’d like to be the one who you act like you care about? sigh

so this thread is for any1 out there who doesn’t want anything to do w their abusers, who doesn’t want to hear about them or worry about how THEY are bc that interaction alone has re surfaced my nightmares in a home I felt was safe. You’re so damn strong. I see u. I appreciate u.
