tw abuse

hey as someone who grew up in a dysfunctional and abusive household where getting hit every few days was a normal thing and having the slightest bit of privacy wasn't allowed, if you think it's okay for parents to hit their kids please block me. 1/5

if you think it's the kid's fault for imitating the behavior of their parents and "being disrespectful" or fighting back when their privacy is invaded or that kid gets hit again, block me. 2/5

if you think it's okay to make fun of mentally ill or traumatised kids on twitter for acting violent towards people who are violating their boundaries, please block me. this isn't a "white" thing, it's a direct result of abuse and I've experienced it firsthand. 3/5

what you DON'T see in the videos people post online is the normalized abuse towards that kid in their everyday life. it's pretty clear that in that family, things like that are not out of the norm, and that means there's abuse involved. 4/5

people, kids especially, do NOT get violent like that when they've never been treated violently before. it's learned behavior. 5/5

anyway I'm sick of people excusing their parents' abuse and blaming kids when they react the same way their parents treated them

if anyone's wondering what inspired this thread, here you go. i saw several people implying that the girl being violent was a "white thing", making fun of her, generally just blaming the kid when if you look closer there are multiple obvious signs of abuse
