TW: grooming mentioned
.
.
this is extremely important and I have to share this along with a bit of my story/history with grooming https://twitter.com/arumstea/status/1249969545416245250
I was asked out 2 months after my 18th birthday by this person after we had been friends for about.. 2 or 3 years prior? I believe I was almost 17 when I met them. They were my first ever relationship and it's horrible my first experience of 'love' was so abusive.
I was told I was like 'taming a wild animal' and I thought it was funny and cute. Looking back did I only realize what it could have really implied?
I had stuff from when I was a minor sent and told "I shoulda known you liked me" on completely innocent things
It's.. sad that we were both treated however this was by the same person. and I hold a lot of guilt about allowing it to happen but in reality, I was in the same position as them. I was only 18 at the time..
You do not know better, not even at 17.
Adults are fucking terrifying. You think you're mature, you're almost a legal adult! and that someone a few years older isn't that bad but they absolutely can be.
I have literally 0 followers who are minors, I know, but this is something I've wanted to share since my slow discovery the past year of not only the grooming, but the blatant abuse I was put through.

I'm so thankful to have a supportive partner who's showing me actual love.
I'm terrified to post this. my ex knows my accounts and even tried to contact me not that long ago (albeit brief cause I really didn't want to talk to them) so excuse me being vague.
also pls don't interact too much with Arum's account! They're a safe space for minors and feel uncomfortable with certain types of content that I know my follows enjoy so if you have any comments you want to leave PLEASE drop them in this thread instead.
