Today I was woken up by a horror story — a further chapter in the abuses of C. Marriotti. Mariotti bullied me and today I found through the most triggering story I have ever read as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, by my own father. This thread involves @RhythmBonesLit —
A story was sent to me this morning from a private writing group that Marotti and the EIC @tiannag92 Were both members of and good friends. The story is about the rape of a sister by a brother, the sister is a childhood sexual abuse survivor and the brother who seemed a savior
much like Mariotti tried to pretend to be in this community is now raping the survivor as he chants like “when we were younger” again and again. My hands are shaking as I write this. Some people in this group advised Mariotti not to publish this piece as he would be censured.
I was told by a witness in the group that @tiannag92 defended this story Ahd though I was not there. Did not know about this story until today. We all know that she made this man an editor of a trauma press which only lasted a week before his very scandalous behavior was shown.
But she put him in authority of victims — even victims of CSA like this story treats with such disrespect I am shaking as I type this. And she also told him that I had critiqued his behavior in a thread which began his harassment of me which was ongoing
until he left tbis site. She knew I was a childhood sexual abuse victim. She knew I like the girl was abused by my father. She knew what she had read by Chris and his inappropriate takes on all this. She not only left me vulnerable to an anger many have documented now
She also left me as a victim of childhood sexual abuse open to a person with obvious sick desires. You don’t make a person like this an editor of a trauma press. You don’t use their anger to settle scores.
I am only just today reading this story and processing this and am so raw and triggered. I have the story in my posession. It is too triggering to put in a public thread. I will dm it to anyone who asks.
The points to know are this. Both Tianna and Mariotti knew my history. Tianna published it. Mariotti read it. Tisnna told him what angered him at me for that purpose and when she did she knew he had this sickness. I didn’t know that then or I would have even more terrified
